CHAPTER 7

Shifting my weight to one side, I tried to casually pull my phone from my back pocket, taking my time so as not to draw too much attention from Clayton. He was still babbling on about how I should really seek some medical attention, but I only half-listened.

Sean might still be waiting for me on the Low steps. If I could text him soon, he might be able to get over here and rescue me before Clayton got me too far away from campus. I really didn’t relish the idea of Clayton bringing me all the way home. I was sure he could find our address just fine on his own if he really wanted to, but I wasn’t going to offer it up to him. Dom was in class, and Gayla had probably left already too, which meant we’d be alone.

Nope. There was no way I was gonna let that happen.

Finally, I wrangled the device free and rested it by my leg, out of Clayton’s direct line of sight.

“Which way do I need to turn?” He looked in my direction and I did my best to put on an innocent face.

“Uhh, let’s see…” We were back on Broadway. I didn’t want to lead him to my apartment, so I figured my aunt Millie’s house was my next best bet. “Hang a right.”

With his attention back on the road, I tapped my now-cracked phone screen. Nothing. After several more taps and a solid effort to restart the device, it was clear: my phone was dead—probably destroyed when I fell on it after I got hit with the car. Freaking Clayton!

The sound of his turn signal at the next intersection brought my attention back to him. “Actually, you need to keep going a few more blocks,” I said, my heart rate increasing with each word. Where was he taking me now?

“You’re sure you’re not injured?”

I nodded, unsure how that was relevant to my question.

“Great. Because I want to make this up to you.” He veered the car off in a direction I’d yet to explore. “I was checking out some of the locations where we’ll be filming in Morningside Park, and I’d love to show you a really beautiful area over there. It can be like our own little secret getaway in the city.”

“Oh, I am really fine with just going back home. You don’t have to make it up to me at all.” I tapped my phone desperately, praying that it might miraculously start working again.

“I refuse to take no for an answer. It’ll be quick, I promise.” He flashed a bright smile and winked at me. Okay, so I could definitely see why so many other girls were smitten with him. He was undeniably good looking. But he still gave me the creeps ever since he showed up unannounced, supposedly searching the city for me.

I needed to remember that when my heart began to flutter against my will.

A few minutes later he whipped his car into a spot just a couple of blocks away from a stunning old cathedral.
