Chapter Twelve

Drake

I couldn’t believe Stone had put me and Knox together on a job. It was awkward as fuck and I couldn’t concentrate. I nearly got myself eaten by a damn dog that I hadn’t noticed at the property, courtesy of my head being in the clouds.

Knox hadn’t said much, being more than happy to drive and ignore me, and it wasn’t until we were driving home that he spoke.

“I’m sorry.” I didn’t respond at first and he let out a huff. “Drake, I’m sorry.”

“You don’t mean it,” I mumbled, staring out the window, refusing to meet his gaze. “You just want me to forgive you because you want to get laid.” I whipped my head around as he slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road, yanking on the emergency break. “What the fuck, Knox?”

“I do fucking mean it. I can’t stand not sleeping beside you.”

“More like you can’t stand me sleeping beside her. She didn’t steal me from you, or sway my choice. You’re the one who did this. You wouldn’t fucking listen to me and made me feel like my emotions were stupid.” I was proud of myself for being strong about it, and I could tell my words bothered him when he took a deep breath to calm himself before answering.

“Of course I hate the thought of you sleeping beside her. You’re mine, Drake. I don’t like that she means so much to you. I can see it, you really fucking like her. Are you and Cruz both dating her?”

“It’s not any of your business. Can you just drive? I want to go home,” I said firmly, my heartbeat hammering as he grabbed my chin to stop me looking away.

“Do you love her?”

“I could. If I could love anyone in the world, I’d wish it was her. Do you know why?” I demanded, mentally patting myself on the back for keeping my voice steady. “Because she gets me. She’s in tune with my emotions, she knows when I need comfort, and she wants to know all the little things about me. Loving you has given me nothing but self doubt and insecurities. You make me feel like I’m not enough. That’s not what love is, Knox. I am enough, and Penn isn’t afraid to scream that from the rooftops to let everyone know.” I shoved his hand off me, looking back out the window. “Drive, or I’m getting out and walking.”

He didn’t move until I went to unclip my seatbelt, his voice soft.

“I’m sorry I made you feel like that.”

The car started moving again and I let out a slow breath, blinking hard to avoid crying. My chest was tight, and I distracted myself by texting Penn to see how she was.

She replied almost instantly with a photo of her and Cruz curled up in bed together.

Penn: We miss you. When are you coming back?
