CHAPTER 16

Emily

The entire cab ride home, I ruminate over what had just transpired. My father has always been loving and supportive of me. It's just he's never around much to give it to me. His words of reassurance were exactly what I needed though, and I'm hoping he can talk my mother into backing off of me a bit.

Best of all, my father has basically sanctioned me to move forward with my Journalism degree. My mother's only argument against it was because it wasn't the "best" degree for his campaign. But that didn't seem to matter to him, so I'm not going to worry about it any further.

As I get out of the cab at my apartment, I reflect on my father's advice. To go after my dreams and the things I want, and to not let anyone stand in my way.

That is damned good advice.

Rather than going up to my apartment, I get in my car and decide to head across the river.

***

I knock on the door to Linc's apartment. I have no idea if Nix is even here, and if he is, I have no idea what I'm going to say to him. But I do think we need to talk about what's going on between us. Clearly, there is an insane mutual attraction and frankly, I need him to give me a better reason why we shouldn't act on it.

My father said to go get what I wanted and I want Nix Caldwell. And I don't feel the slightest bit trashy for it. This is all part of my collective plan to experience life and there is something that I believe I can learn from Nix.

And I'm not just talking about sex, although, if I can get him to capitulate, I'm sure it will be amazing. No, there is something about Nix that is captivating me. He's got more facets than the Hope Diamond and he intrigues the hell out of me. I know he says he's not relationship material, and I'm not even sure I'm looking for a relationship, but Nix has experiences and wisdom that go beyond anyone I've ever met. I want to figure him out. I want to learn from him.

And if we have sex along the way...that would be great too.

The door swings open and Nix is standing there. He's clearly surprised to see me and an array of emotions play across his beautiful face. First, something hot flares in his eyes, then it switches to wariness, then—if I'm not mistaken—there's anger.

Just great. He's pissed off that I showed up.

Instead of telling me to leave, however, he grabs my hand and pulls me into the apartment.

"What's wrong?" he asks. His voice is laced with worry, which catches me off guard.

Can't he just think I might want to come over to seduce him?

"What makes you think something is wrong?" I grumble.

"Because you've clearly been crying," he says gently.

Oh!

Now I'm off my game. I was completely empowered driving over here. I was going to go after what I wanted, just like my father told me to do.
