CHAPTER 12

Sorry for having great tits and correct opinions.

-Text from Val to Felix

VAL

Something told me that I should go check on him.

I was absolutely exhausted, had about seventeen almonds throughout the day, and the very last thing I wanted to do was see Felix and have him remind me that he didn’t want me.

Yet, something nagged at me. Something told me that, despite my feelings on the matter, I needed to go check on him.

He’d been gone all week, and I’d sat there and worst-case scenarioed it for the better part of six and a half days. Was he out with Tammy—who was also suspiciously absent? Was he sick? Was his grandfather sick?

My mind reeled, and eventually I admitted defeat.

So that was what I did after grabbing us our Taco Bell order—an order that I still knew by heart all these years later.

I drove up to his house. I’d gotten the information from Folsom—who strangely had it a heck of a lot faster than I thought she probably should have.

The place was dark, not a single light was on inside or outside the house.

I did see Felix’s BMW and his grandfather’s truck, though, meaning they were home.

I also didn’t see a third vehicle that would indicate anyone else’s presence.

Pulling up to the curb outside of his house—a beautiful historical home on Swiss Avenue—I couldn’t help but stare.

Felix’s place wasn’t the biggest on the block by any means, but it wasn’t the smallest, either.

It was on a corner lot with a very spacious yard, lush green grass, lots of shade trees, and the most gorgeous white house right in the middle of it.

It was my dream home, and I knew without a doubt that the reason behind his purchase of this one in particular was my love for all things old. He’d always been a new build kind of person, and I’d always been a ‘old homes have character’ kind of gal.

It’d been one of the things we continuously fought about because he liked to point out that for busy people like us, an old home would get time consuming and tedious. Meanwhile, my opinion was solidly on the ‘all new homes are cookie cutter and have no character.’

We’d been solidly undecided when I’d gotten the call about my father—the life ruiner—and we’d stay divided on the matter forever.

Swallowing hard at the emotions that started to well up inside me at seeing his acquiescence, giving me what he knew I wanted whether he intended for me to know about it or not, I got out of my car and started up the front walk.

Even the walk was lined with purple flowers, just like I’d wanted.

I got halfway there when I remembered about the Taco Bell in my front seat and had to go back for it.

When I turned around and headed back for the house, it was to find Felix standing in the door… and the man did not look good. In fact, if there was a picture beside ‘bad’ in the dictionary, his face would definitely fill the space.
