My boyfriend is a secretive man. And I’m not sure if I like it.

The talk between him and Hunter looked serious, but he made it seem otherwise. From their talk to the bruises on his body that he doesn’t think I notice, something’s got to give.

He’s ordered a bottle of wine, and I’m instantly confused. He looks up at me, meeting my gaze.

“You good, babe?”

If it weren’t for the fact this is my birthday dinner, I’d unwittingly ruin the night by asking too many questions. But I won’t do that. He planned this night, and I won’t ruin it for either one of us.

“I’m fine. But why did you order a bottle of wine? I’m eighteen,” I chuckle. Surely, he knows I can’t drink wine. He gives me a sheepish smile.

“Shit, I forgot. I mean, not that you’re turning eighteen, because I obviously know that. I just didn’t put two and two together. What would you like me to order for you instead? Oh shit, I should know that already, shouldn’t I? I’m so—”

“Jake, babe, breathe.” He gives me another sheepish smile. He’s cute when he’s nervous. My big, burly, teddy bear. “It’s totally fine. I can just tell her that I’ll have...tea or something. No need to stress, okay?”

He gives me a nod. “I’m sorry, babe. I-I just wasn’t thinking. I want this night to be perfect for you. We’re in a different country, and I’ve sort of kidnapped you for two months.” He gives a nervous laugh before looking down. I’ve never seen him this nervous before. It’s cute. I reach for his hand, and he accepts immediately.

“It’s already perfect because I’m with you. Please don’t overthink things, love. That’s a me thing, and it never turns out well.” He chuckles at that. “Trust me when I say, nothing you do can spoil this night.”

He smiles at me. “Allie, you’re a dangerous girl.” Well, that took a turn. I can’t help the laugh that comes out. He says the oddest things at the oddest times. “Baby, I’ve known you for a year. And my feelings are still the same.” I don’t know how he does it.

“Well, I’d say you’re a dangerous guy. At any moment, you surprise me. One second, you’ll think I’m the most beautiful girl, and then the next moment you could be talking to a blond girl named Milena,” I say before I can stop myself.

I’m being insecure, which is stupid. He’s already made it clear that he wasn’t interested in her. But I can’t help but think this is all unreal. He freezes when I bring up Milena. Crap. I made this uncomfortable.

“I’m not into Milena, babe. At least, I’m not the one into her,” he asserts. What does that mean? I give him a look that he doesn’t return. Is there something he wants to tell me?

“Who else likes her? Someone on your team thinks she’s cute?” That would explain why I haven’t seen her around lately. Maybe one of the guys has asked her out, and she’s spending her time with him.
