Chapter Seventeen

Lexi

The car ride back to Brad’s apartment was filled with awkward silence. Every so often I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, noticing how tightly he gripped the steering wheel. He seemed cagey, worked up, and completely withdrawn. It confused the hell out of me.

His current mood obviously had something to do with his conversation with that woman at the restaurant. There was no other explanation for it. I remembered him telling me that their relationship was nothing serious. So, if that was the case then why the heck was he acting so weird?

My head rested against the window, my vision blurred with unshed tears. I reached inside my purse and pulled out my phone in a futile attempt to distract myself. My hands shook as I punched in my password to unlock my home screen. I struggled three different times trying to remember the four-digit password that I knew by heart.

Sitting back in my seat, my eyes grazed over the press release that was incomplete. One of my models had a launch tomorrow with a big-name cologne manufacturer. The draft that our PR department had drawn up wasn’t finished and the person in charge was going out on maternity leave. I shook my head and tried to distract myself by looking over my calendar. I was desperate and would have done anything to avoid the uncomfortable silence. His sullen mood had me second-guessing everything. After a few more wasted minutes, I let out a heavy sigh and finally gave up fiddling with my phone. He obviously needed space, so that’s exactly what I planned to give him.

“If you’re not going to talk to me, then maybe it would be best if you just took me back to my apartment.” I uttered, trying to leave the emotion out of my voice. I was so confused, but his silence hurt and it was getting late. I had an early meeting tomorrow and plenty of stuff to do.

His head snapped to mine. “What the hell?” He blinked at me like I was crazy. “Why would I do that?”

I pursed my lips. I didn’t want to sound jealous or insecure but really what other conclusion was there for me to draw? He left me with no other choice but to think it had something to do with her.

“You obviously have a lot on your mind and I don’t want to be in your way while you try to sort it all out.”

He scoffed at me before he pressed the brake to the floor, causing us to come to a screeching stop at the red light in front of us. He swung his head back to mine. “You think this is about Samantha, don’t you?”

I had to look away from him so he wouldn’t see the hurt in my eyes. “It’s fine.”

“Fuck! I’m such an idiot.” He mumbled, as he slammed on the gas so hard that my head flew back and hit the headrest.

We were getting closer to his building, and I silently thanked God because I so wanted out of this car.
