Chapter 13

Sofie

My head races with a million different thoughts as Calvin leads me out of his office and through the club. I don’t even know why I’m going with him. All I know is that there’s something in the tone of his voice, and in the way he’s touching me, that tells me I need to follow along.

Calvin hadn’t responded at all like I’d been expecting. I’d known immediately, by the look on his face, that Wade had been telling the truth about the sex room. Wade never explained how he found out, but somehow he had. Maybe he’d also been telling the truth when he’d said that he was just looking out for my own good—but Wade is one of the furthest thoughts from my mind, right then.

In the first instant that I saw the look on Calvin’s face—the obvious shame he felt about me finding out about his secret—my heart had sank. For a moment, I’d been convinced that I’d made a terrible mistake in trusting him. If my entire body hadn’t gone numb with the thought of Calvin still hooking up with other girls behind my back, I probably would have turned and ran away. If I had done that, I don’t know that I would have ever stopped running. And I don’t think I can handle something like that. Not again.

But there’d been something about the look in his eye when he’d told me that he didn’t have the room anymore. He’d been telling the truth—of that, I’m absolutely certain.

Somewhere deep inside, I know he’s been telling the truth this whole time. It’s just that, after everything that happened, I’ve lived my entire life feeling like I don’t deserve love. From Calvin, or anyone else. It’s been nearly impossible to overcome the insecurities I’ve been living with for so long. They’ve just become a part of who I am.

But with each step we take through the narrow, dark hallways of Club Addiction, I begin feeling a renewed surge of hope. Whatever Calvin is leading me toward is something significant. At least, it is for him. And that’s more than enough to make me curious.

And hopeful.

We round a final turn and begin moving our way down another narrow hallway. We’re in a part of the club that I’ve never seen. There are closed doors on either side with those little magnetic swipe locks on them. They remind me of the very same locks we have at the office. The whole hallway feels very out of place, compared to the rest of the club.

Eventually the doors on either side stop appearing, while the hallway continues even farther. We’re so deep in the club that I can only barely make out the thumping bass of the music. We round one final turn and arrive at the end of the hallway. Another door, identical to those before, stands shut in front of us.

Calvin turns and gives me a smile. He seems nervous, but energetic, at the same time. He hesitates for a moment before pulling a white card from his pocket.
