I hate to admit it, but it was difficult sleeping by myself. I’d gotten used to Johnny wrapping his arms and legs around me as we drifted off. He’s only a floor above me now. Over dinner, he promised he wouldn’t take his father’s offerings of escorts or any other devious way his father would try to get him to stay away from me. I’m not naïve enough to be positive that Johnny will stay true. His past is evidence otherwise even though I think he’s changed, at least somewhat, in our time together.

I don’t see him for breakfast, and when I text him, he doesn’t respond. It’s possible that after I left, he had to go to another meeting with his father. I guess Big Daddy K wants a sharper eye on the strip club and Joe Dunnegan. He doesn’t have any proof he’s doing anything wrong, only a gut feeling. Listening to Johnny talk about it over dinner only reinforced the fact that he is completely and utterly blind to anything bad his father could be doing. I guess that’s not necessarily a shock considering it’s been him and his father for a long time. The gang raised him, and his father has been at the top of that gang for a lot of those years. Of course, he would end up having some weird sort of relationship with him.

A knock comes on my door, and I assume it’s Magnum because it’s about the time he comes for me every morning to take me to school. Opening the door, I find him leaning against the frame, arms crossed. “I take it you probably knew this was happening,” I say.

He looks behind me. The suite is set up a lot like Johnny’s, but it’s a little smaller. The decorating is the same. Everything is pristine with clean lines. The cupboards, medicine cabinets, and refrigerator were already filled with my stuff. All I had to do was plop my ass in bed.

He nods. “I didn’t think you’d mind.”

I shrug because I do…and I don’t. Growing up with my aunt and uncle, I hadn’t realized how much I craved the kind of relationships I have now. Relationship by fire. It’s like throwing people into a shitshow and daring them not to get involved with each other. It’s impossible. Relationships are formed, melded, and set to stone.

“Just so you know, I’m right across the hall, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.”

I look around his imposing figure. His door is shut, but I’m desperately curious to see what kind of place Magnum has. Is it black? If that’s the case, it would be different from the bright whites and grays of the other rooms I’ve been in in the tower. Black seems to be Mag’s style though.

“You ready for school?”

I roll my eyes. “That makes me sound like I’m a little kid.”

Magnum grins. “Well, you are young.”

“I disagree. Age is just a number. We should be judged by our past, maturity, and wisdom.
