Chapter 28

Creed

It’s been two hours since Collins sat down and started talking to her brother. Or rather, he was talking to her. I sat across from Riley and watched them for a while, picking at my food. I’d lost my appetite with the anxiety that had flooded my body while wondering if I’d colossally fucked up in surprising her to see her brother. I couldn’t hear their conversation, but I assume it’s going decent, at least, considering Collins isn’t screaming at him. I had a feeling I knew exactly what he was saying based on his facial expressions and the tears that Collins had wiped away several times.

I was fucking thrilled to see that she did as I’d suggested and ordered a fucking smorgasbord of food. Loaded pancakes, hashbrowns, cheesy eggs, bacon, sausage, and a bowl of fruit. She devoured nearly the entire meal while Asher sat and watched her with the same expression what I’m sure Riley and I gave her when we first experienced the magical disappearing act with all the food she puts away and still looks like a fucking goddess when she’s done.

When Riley failed to keep me distracted with meaningless conversation and questions about the sets we had planned for our tour in a few days, we paid the waitress and he dragged me from the diner. Luckily this town is small and more rural so people don’t pay us much attention here.

We’re now inside of a shop full of handmade jewelry and tons of vintage memorabilia and swag that’s two doors down from the diner, and Riley looks like he’s on a mission.

I’m about to ask him what the hell he could possibly be looking for but he disappears to the back corner of the store at the same time my eyes snag on a framed vintage band tee behind the display counter. It’s a David Bowie t-shirt from his 1983 tour. And it’s been signed. Collins’ birthday was days ago and our abrupt reunion had distracted me from telling her or celebrating her beyond the half-assed voicemail I left for her.

This shirt is the perfect gift. The kid working the counter rounds the corner and I see recognition flash in his eyes when he spots me waiting. I just wink and hold my finger up to my lips, urging him to not bring attention to my being here. He nods in understanding as he makes his way behind the counter. It’s a small town where we met Asher, but people still recognize us. It’s not that I don’t want the attention, but at this moment, I just want a quiet minute to shop for my girl.

Not my girl.

Fuck.

There’s no way I’m sticking to that asinine friend-zone I crammed her into. As much as I wanted to make her mine right then and there on the couch last night, I knew that we had ten years’ worth of shit to hash out. Once I’m certain we’re not running on adrenaline-fueled decisions, she’s mine. Until then…

Fuck my fucking life.
