West
The second she slid out of bed, my ears perked up. She thought she was slick, but she wasnât as slick as she figured. It shocked me when she only went into the bathroom instead of slipping out into the hallway or something. But it was then that I realized that I didnât make it back to my room.
So, I perched myself on my elbows and strained my ears to listen.
I couldn't hear much of what she was saying, but I knew she was on the phone with someone. And the second her voice mounted, I heard the panic-laced tears fill her voice. I silently slid out of bed and rummaged around for clothes. But when I realized that my clothes were in the bathroom she had locked herself in, I tugged the sheet off the bed and wrapped it around my waist.
Then, I sat on the edge of the bed facing the bathroom and waited.
I mean, where the hell was she going to go? She didnât have anywhere to go without coming out of that bathroom first. There werenât any windows she could climb out of. No duct work to crawl through that sheâd fit in. I hated the way she sounded. I wanted to charge in there, take her into my arms, and tell her that everything was going to be okay.
Because I had a feeling that FBI agent had her on the phone.
âFine, Iâll see you then,â she said curtly.
Yep, definitely the FBI agent.
And the second she cracked the bathroom door open, I cleared my throat. âDonât panic, itâs okay. I knew you were on the phone with him.â
She didnât open the door all the way. âWest?â
âWere you expecting someone else?â
She didnât open the door any further. âIâm sorry that I woke you up.â
âYou didnât. I was ready to get up. Now, you want to come out here and talk to me? Or am I going to have to follow you again when you bolt to go meet up with this guy?â
She allowed the door to slowly swing open as her reddened eyes came into view. âHe knows who you are.â
I blinked. âCome again?â
She wiped at her mouth for some reason. âHe knows who you are. He saw us arguing in the parking lot. He saw your leather cut.â
Shit. âWhat else did he say?â
I tried to stay as calm as possible. I kept myself seated so she didnât feel so intimidated by my size. I patted the bed next to me, hoping sheâd come sit down. But instead, she leaned against the doorframe and raked her hand through her hair.
âIs that⦠my shirt?â I asked.
She shrugged. âSorry.â
My eyes slid down her body. âDonât ever be sorry. It looks better on you than it ever did on me.â
She smiled softly at that. âThanks.â
I shrugged. âNo thanks needed for the truth.â
Her bloodshot eyes held mine. âSo, Iâm going to start talking and I donât want you to interrupt. If you interrupt, Iâll lose my nerve.â
I nodded, but I didnât speak.
