Chapter Fifteen

Cassie

I stare down at my phone, at the message he just sent me. It’s nothing much, just a greeting, but it has sent my mind spinning, and I don’t know how to put myself back in my place.

I don’t know what I am supposed to do about all of this. I wish Kimmy was here, so I could talk to her about what’s running through my head, but she’s out with some of her other friends. She invited me, but I didn’t trust myself to go out and drink and wind up texting him and inviting him over for another tipsy hook-up.

My head is a mess right now, and I don’t know what to think, what to feel, what to say to him. I want him, I need him, but I know he’s never going to give me more than that. He’s made it clear where he stands on something serious, when he snuck out of here while I was asleep rather than wake up beside me.

He’s never wanted more than a hook-up. He’s never pretended anything different. And yet...he’s texting me right now, confusing me, making me wonder if there might be something more.

Do I want there to be?

That’s the question that keeps rolling around and around my head, and I am not honestly sure I know the answer to it. I wish I could just come up with something, a yes or a no, so I could put this out of my head, once and for all, but nothing seems to come easy to me in that moment. My heart and my head want different things, and trying to work out which one of them actually has my best interest at heart is going to be difficult.

I should never have hooked up with him again, not like I had. It was just way too easy to fall into his arms, his kiss again, and I know he’s aware of the effect he has on me.

Maybe this is just some reaction to what happened with my ex. I just need someone to want me, to treat me as though I am worth something and they actually want me. But when I came to his place, I found him about to head out on the town and probably to go hook up with someone else.

Is that why he’s texting me? He probably just wants to fool around. And I crave it too, I do, but I can’t let myself give in to that desire. I need to get my head straight first. If I keep sleeping with him, I’m not going to be able to clear my head or make sense of what’s actually happening there.

I turn my phone over and pull the covers up over my head, letting out a sigh. What kind of mess have I gotten into? This job is meant to be the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and instead, I’ve found myself falling for someone who’s probably broken more hearts than I’ve had hot meals.
