I find myself driving around aimlessly. Cruising through the streets and neighborhoods I tried my damnedest to escape. The drug deal by kids who have barely hit puberty. Gang members watching every car that drives by, waiting for the bullets to fly. The pimp smacking one of his girls for not getting in the car with the sleazy guy who rolled down his window for her. The young mother trying to protect her child who entered the world before she had a chance to graduate from high school. The family that doesn’t speak English but is so grateful to be here, they feel like royalty among the criminals.

Rubbing my stubbled jaw, I watch it all in my rear-view mirror as I make my way back to my house in my gated community, with my comfy bed, cleaners I hire, and a kitchen stocked with food.

Sometimes I feel guilty for what I have, for leaving my Grams there when she should be here with me. But that woman wouldn’t move no matter how much I tried to convince her. She’ll hardly accept any money I attempt to give her, but it’s the least I can do after she raised me.

Squinting as I pull up to the locked gate, I notice a car parked there off to the side and a person sitting on the hood. Then, I get close enough to make them out and see it’s Poppy. My heart begins to hammer in my chest. I have no idea what she’s doing here, but I’m glad to see her. I’ve missed her from the moment she walked out of my door.

Throwing my car into park, I step out. “You lost?” I ask her as I walk toward her, turning my ball cap around.

She hops down from her hood and meets me. “No, I just found what I was looking for.” She smiles shyly, looking up at me through her lashes.

Crashing my lips to hers, I kiss her like it’s been years since I’ve seen her instead of a day. I missed her the second I drove out of Vegas. My chest has ached from the separation between us.

I command her mouth and kisses, letting her know exactly how I feel about her being here. Our tongues duel for dominance, but I’m not giving in to her. Not tonight anyway. Grabbing a handful of her hair, I pull, tipping her head back to look at me.

“I want to be mad at you still,” I tell her as I nip at her swollen lips. “But I can’t be. Not when you followed me here.”

“I’m sorry,” she says so quietly I almost don’t hear her. “I was scared.”

Softening my hold on her, I kiss her once more. “Are you still scared?” She nods her head. “Me too.” She looks up to meet my eyes then. Cupping her face in my hands, I search her for answers to all the questions I have while she looks into mine, hoping for answers of her own. Leaning forward, I kiss her forehead.
