Chapter Fourteen

Jordan

I didn’t know how to tell Chase that I had received a text from Salina and Salvador asking me to go hang out with them. My initial response was that I couldn’t go. But, when Salina texted me back and asked me to go again, I felt like I should at least think about it. She was the only person outside of Chase who I had met in the States. I needed to make an effort to get to know someone.

The last few days had been such a whirlwind of excitement, and I was pretty tired, though. I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to do.

“Chase,” I said as I came out of the shower wrapped in my towel. “Salina texted me and asked if I wanted to meet her for some bowling.”

“No,” he said firmly.

I had been prepared to tell her no again. But I had planned on saying it because I thought Chase needed me to help take care of him. The way he responded just put my defenses up right away. He wasn’t interested in discussing anything, he just said no at the first mention of her name.

“Well, I wasn’t exactly asking your permission.”

I stormed off toward the bedroom and put my clothes on. There was just something that I didn’t like about being denied something. It wasn’t as if I was asking his permission. I just wanted to talk the idea over with him. But for him to be such a jackass about it and outright tell me no, I couldn’t go? Well, that did not sit well with me at all.

“You don’t know who she is. You don’t know anything about her. She could work for Escabar for all we know,” Chase said from the living room.

“That didn’t seem to bother you when I flew halfway around the country to meet you. I didn’t know you, either. Yet I still came.”

“Jordan, it’s a bad idea.”

“I think there’s more to this story than you are telling me. Either you tell me why this Escabar guy is such bad news, or I’m going to go bowling with my new friend.”

He sat there and defiantly refused to talk. He could have confessed to what was really going on. He could have apologized for how he had talked to me. But he didn’t do any of that. I started to wonder if this was the Chase that I really hadn’t known yet. Was this the guy who had a hard time keeping a girlfriend? I could see why! No woman wanted to be with a controlling man who didn’t even want her to have friends.

I waited for him to sweetly ask me to stay. If he had said he needed help getting around the house or if he had said he was in a lot of pain, I would have gladly stayed to help him. But he didn’t. Instead, he turned mean. I waited for him to make any effort to show that he knew what he was doing was wrong.
