Chapter Seventeen

Three Weeks Later

“I didn’t get to finish your room,” I tell Ariel, opening the door and showing her the progress that I had made. “I figure that you can put the crib in the corner, and I’d already started stocking the cupboard with clothes for Mila.”

“You’re so cute, you know that?” She beams, sitting down on the queen-sized bed. “It feels good to be here, a fresh start, you know?”

It may be a fresh start for her, but for me, I’m going to have to face Renny, and everything that I left behind. After that one conversation I never spoke to him again, ignoring all of his messages and calls. I haven’t even read any of the messages, and although it did take a lot of willpower, I just didn’t want him to sweet talk his way out of what he did, because there are no excuses for it.

“Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi plays as we unpack Ariel’s belongings and it doesn’t help the situation one bit, my mind unable to escape Renny knowing that he’s just down the road again and that we have unfinished business between us. Part of me wants to hide, and the other part of me wants to storm into that clubhouse and give everyone who looked me in the eye and lied a piece of my mind. If I hadn’t overhead that conversation with Dee and Renny, I might have never known the truth, and I would have looked like an idiot to the club for the rest of my life. One of my biggest fears in a relationship is someone making a fool out of me, and Renny did just that.

We’ve only been home for a few hours when he shows up, knocking unapologetically at my door. He must have seen Ariel’s car here and knew I was back.

I open the door, and there he stands, dressed in all black, a scowl on those lips I once loved kissing, brown eyes staring daggers at me. “Yes?” I ask him, my tone saccharine sweet.

“Seriously?” he asks, giving me a quick once-over. “That’s all you have to say right now? Yes?”

“It’s more polite than what I really want to say,” I reply, shrugging. “I’m helping my sister unpack, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to have this confrontational conversation another time. Maybe next month? I’ll have to check my schedule.”

Without missing a beat, he pulls me against him, and kisses me. I push at his chest, but my lips move against his, giving him mixed signals. I don’t know what to think or feel right now. I’m angry, I’m hurt, and I’ve missed him, which only pisses me off even further. Things are so complicated, and I don’t know if I should follow my heart or my head.

Eventually, sanity reaches me and I push him off. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I missed you,” he says, scanning my eyes. “Like really fuckin’ missed you. Let me take you for a ride so we can speak.
