AMY

The paper plate bends under the weight of the rich, frosting filled cake as I walk through the darkened yard.

It’s much past midnight already. But I couldn’t sleep.

Since the moment he left the party, the only thing on my mind has been Hunter.

I arrive at the gate and stare at it. This seems like the hardest part, walking through this godforsaken gate. I still don’t know why my anxiety trembles when I look at it or why my heart pulses with the fierceness of a wild horse. However, I have to face it.

Because on the other side…is my future.

My destiny.

I gently press the latch and push the gate open. Hunter’s yard is equally dark, but his pool is closer to the house and lights up the siding.

I did it. I’m here.

However, now is the trial of actually getting inside. I can’t ring the doorbell or knock on the door without the fear of waking up Jessica and I can’t just waltz inside. I doubt he’d leave a door unlocked and, if he did, I’m sure there are some alarms that are engaged.

I walk further into the yard and up the steps of the deck, staring through the darkened sliding glass doors.

I didn’t think this far ahead. I touch the pocket of my robe. Empty. I stupidly left my phone in the kitchen when I was loading the cake onto the plate.

Shows you how much of an idiot you can be when you’re horny.

Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe I should have texted him ahead of time or just be a good girl and wait until a more appropriate moment.

But I’m so tired of being a good girl.

Just try. Just see. What’s the worst that can happen?

Probably a lot of things. However, my heart is beating for Hunter. He’s the only thing on my mind.

I touch the handle of the sliding glass door and pull. Miraculously, it slides open. Yes.

I step into the living room of the Ricks house, totally dark except for a small aquarium bubbling in the corner with Jessica’s beta fish, Brody, swishing around.

Through the hallway, I can see there’s a light on in the front of the house. One lamp casting a warm glow into the room.

I tiptoe through the house. Past the downstairs bathroom, the door to the kitchen, and into the foyer. The light is coming from the sitting room in the front, a modern looking lamp hanging over an easy chair where there’s a book folded over the arm of the chair, in the midst of being read.

“Amy.”

I stifle a cry and turn around to find Hunter standing in the foyer behind me, confusion all over his face.

“What are you doing here?”

I don’t have words to speak. He takes them all out of my mouth with his beauty. I’ve never seen him in his nightclothes, an old T-shirt and boxers, but damn is it a good look on him. His long locks hang wild and free over his shoulders.

And his eyes…

Warm, amber, inviting.

“Amy? You okay?”

“Cake.
