Me: I know you’re busy, but I really need to talk to you.

Kelvin: I’m sorry. I really want to spend some time with you. I’m just swamped right now. I’m working on clearing out some space in my schedule for you.

Me: I don’t mean to bug you. Just call me when you can, okay?

Kelvin: I promise. Talk to you later.

I sat on my couch with my legs crossed and Meghan sitting next to me. My frustration was beginning to get the best of me. Everything that had happened over the course of the last twenty-four hours had taken its toll and I found myself nervous and skeptical of everyone around me.

As much as I wanted to believe that Kelvin Carter Jr. was the one and only perfect man that God has put on this earth, ever since talking to Lexy about how much I didn’t know about him, the unknown was eating away at my conscience. Kelvin wasn’t making things any better by not answering my phone calls and never calling me back since we’d parted ways in his penthouse yesterday morning. I’d tried calling him three times over the course of the school day, but his phone just rang the first two times, then it went straight to voicemail the third time. After the bell rang to end the school day, he texted me, apologizing for not being able to talk to me, but by that time, all I could think about was why he seemed to be avoiding talking to me in the first place. He could text but he couldn’t call?

My obvious crush on him helped me to make excuses for him. Maybe he was in a meeting and couldn’t answer his phone. Maybe he was so busy that all he could do was text me when he got the opportunity. Or, maybe he actually was some sort of mobster just like Tim said and he was too busy shooting somebody in the kneecaps to be able to pick up his phone. Maybe he was in the middle of chopping off some poor guy’s fingers when the phone rang and he didn’t have enough time to wipe the blood from his hands. There were so many possibilities, and Lexy’s words echoed in the back of my head. She was absolutely right. I didn’t really know anything for sure.

I stood up from my couch and walked into the kitchen to grab my purse. It had been a long, adventurous week and I desperately needed to blow off some steam. Luckily for me, so did Lexy. Earlier in the day we’d decided to head to Applebee’s a day prior to when we usually would so that we both could vent. I needed to talk to her about Kelvin, and she needed to vent to me about how much her husband, Mike, was getting on her nerves. I gladly accepted her invitation this afternoon and now my cab was pulling into my driveway. I secured my purse, petted Meghan on the head as I walked by the couch, and made my way out the door and into the driveway.
