Chapter 11

Nova

The only thing that could make this worse was if I woke up naked in Elijah’s car.

Bad enough I was confused for a few seconds, and when I lifted my head it throbbed in some serious pain.

Then I smelled Elijah.

And I realized one of his hoodies was on me.

My eyes saw him with his seat back, hands behind his head, still sleeping.

I bit my bottom lip and turned my head and pressed my nose into the soft cloth of his hoodie.

I took a few deep breaths.

The smell was the only thing that chased away the headache.

Of course, the pain stolen from my head went to my heart.

I couldn’t remember much about last night, but it was obvious Elijah came to get me.

Which meant…

Conor.

Conor?

No.

There was no Conor last night.

He didn’t go to the party.

He stayed home.

I called him a pussy.

I laughed.

He didn’t.

But we ended the call… on good terms…

Right?

I shifted in the seat and felt achy and really hungry.

Elijah’s eyes popped open and he looked right at me.

“Morning, babe,” he said.

“Hey,” I said.

“How’d you sleep?”

“I guess okay.”

“Yeah,” he said. “Not a bad ride to sleep in.”

“Why… why are we here?”

Elijah turned his head and body.

We were facing each other.

But each in our own seat.

“You don’t remember last night?” he asked, his breath laced with the morning.

“Not much,” I whispered. “Sorry.”

“That’s okay,” Elijah said. “My buddy Paxton called me. You were getting a little drunk and he was worried.”

“Worried?”

“I showed up and you were in a bathroom thinking it was your bedroom. I carried your ass out of the party.”

“Carried me?”

“After I knocked out the guy who owned the house.”

“What?”

Elijah chuckled.

That sleepy, sexy, bad boy chuckle.

I felt a warm tingling trickle down my body. Right to my inner thighs.

I squeezed my legs shut as though I could make it stop.

It only made it worse.

“It’s okay, babe,” he said. “You almost crashed my car too. But that’s a whole other story. We ended up here. You didn’t want to go home.”

“Oh,” I said. “Right. Didn’t want to get caught drunk.”

“You sure about that?”

“What?”

“Hey, it’s me, Nova,” he whispered. “You can hate my guts. I would hate my guts too. There’s a lot we probably should eventually talk about. But no matter what, it’s still me and you. Right? You can tell me anything, babe.”

“And you can tell me anything,” I said.

“Like what?”

“Like what you’re really doing here,” I said. “Is this really about Ryland?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Why?”

“Okay,” I said.

“Nova, why didn’t you want to go home last night?”

“I just told you,” I said.

“Come on,” he said. “That’s bullshit.”

“Excuse me? You’re bullshit.”

I forced myself to sit up. The pain in my head was really bad. But I fought through it to prove my point. I tore the hoodie off me and threw it at Elijah.

Then I made the bold move of getting out of his car.

“What the hell are-”

I slammed the door as he yelled for me.

I hugged myself and stumbled as I walked.

The sun was like a thousand knives piercing my eyes as I walked.
