Chapter 10

Allie

"Do you have to hit every hole on the road?" I hold my head as we bump our way from the hospital to Uncle Vic’s house, a.k.a. the place I've been staying since Bailey and I broke up.

"I'll slow down, but I'm warning you, it'll just take longer to get there."

"Fine. Please, my head is killing me."

"Sorry." He reaches for my hand and brings it to his mouth, kissing my knuckles and making my body tingle, despite the pain I'm in.

I close my eyes, wishing I could shut off my brain. It hurts to think. Keeping my eyes closed only makes the dizziness worse. Still, I replay what I remember of the day and night, hoping I can remember how I ended up going home with Jagger.

I met with a client late in the evening, Carmine Salvatore. He's the operations manager for a quaint bed and breakfast at the shore. He's looking to update the look while still keeping the warmth and elegance the place currently has. He liked what I showed him and I have a really good feeling about it. The next thing I remember is waking up in the ambulance and being told I was in a car accident.

"You're awfully quiet," Jagger says, giving my hand a squeeze. "Are you alright?"

"Just trying to remember," I open my eyes and look at him.

"Don't try too hard. If you want me to fill you in on anything, I'll be happy to after you've gotten a good night's rest.”

Why are we together right now? Jagger hasn't called me in days. That didn't make me feel any better about what I heard between him and Lexi. In fact, it bothered me more. It shouldn't have, since I was the one giving him the cold shoulder. What did I expect him to do? Continue to pursue me regardless?

I know it's irrational, but that is exactly what I wanted him to do. Keep calling even though the calls went straight to voicemail just so he could hear the sound of my voice. Send me text messages to let me know he's thinking of me. He didn't though. He gave up, just like I thought he would. Just like I expected.

He claims we met up at Lexi's and he explained it was a poor attempt at humor. Lexi said the same thing. Actually, she said he's an asshat that's clueless about how to talk to a woman he likes. That fact only confirms the one thing I do know about Jagger. Women and sex are casual for him.

"Jagger? Why were we going to your place?"

He gives me a sideward smirk and I feel my pulse racing.

"Why do you think? You find me irresistible," he winks.

Jackass. How can he be so sure of himself? I'm too nervous to speak until he parks the car in front of my father's house. I need to clear this up and quick, because if the expectations aren't appropriately set, it could spell disaster.

"Seriously. We weren't going to..." I can't bring myself to say it.
