Chapter Twenty-three

Casey

Grabbing my purse off the table of the booth, while saying a quick goodnight to everyone, made me look rude, I know but all I wanted to do was get out of this place and as far away from Nate as possible. The uncomfortable feeling of anger that was building in the middle of my chest felt like a large air bubble was about to pop and that combined with my rather large alcohol consumption tonight, made my brain and my mouth very unpredictable. Pushing through the doors I moved to lean against the outside wall and try to contain my rapid breathing before hailing a taxi from the other side of the road. As the taxi pulled at the curb, I reached to open the door, when I felt a hand grab my arm and I am turned to face Nate’s solid chest. “I’m parked down here.” He said tucking me against the side of his body and walking towards his black SUV, he pulled out the keys and with a click the doors are unlocked and he pulls open the passenger side door. “Get in,” he growled. Crossing my arms across my chest as an act of defiance, I hear him take in a deep breath before he says, “Get in the fucking car now or I will pick you up and throw you in.”

“You wouldn’t dare,” I challenged.

“Try me,” he said tilting his head.

Looking up at his face, his lips pressed so tightly together it makes the muscle in his jaw throb, with his eyes now narrowed their grey color looked more like steel. With an exasperated breath, I slide into the passenger seat, slamming the door. He moved quickly around to the driver’s side, got in and started the engine shifting the SUV into gear and pulling out into the traffic. Turning to look out of the side window, I watch as the lights melt into each other as we drive towards the Penthouse at a swift speed.

After what seemed like an endless silence he spoke.“Look, I have no idea what’s happening between us but I do know that it’s driving me to the doors of insanity.” Looking over at him I can see his hold tightening on the steering wheel, his eyes shift to glance at me briefly before looking back at the road. “What, you have nothing to say now?” he bites out sarcastically.

“There’s nothing to say,” I tell him.

“Oh fuck, yeah baby, there is plenty to say so don’t clam up on me now.” His words come out so sharply that I actually feel them sting and prickle at my skin.

“Look, just drop me off and go back to your redhead, I’m sorry I ruined your plans for the night.”

Pulling to a stop at the traffic lights he swung his head to look at me. “Is that what this is all about? Jealousy? Why I feel so flattered Doc,” he smiles placing a hand over his heart.

“Keep dreaming Nate,” I say, then
