Chapter 13

Cole

Once I had her seated in my car, I jogged around to the driver's side, climbed in, and pulled out into traffic. The restaurant I'd picked out was on the waterfront at the harbor, and as we headed in that direction, I couldn't help but watch the smile on Maddie's face grow.

"Are we going to the beach?" she turned to look at me and grin.

"Sort of," I lifted a shoulder as I let my arm drape across the steering wheel. "I found this place a few months ago, and if you like fish…it's the place to be."

“I love seafood,” her smile grew as she shifted in the seat.

"I know," I winked at her.

"Wait," her face paled "how do you know that?"

“I asked Erin,” I cocked my head to the side as I studied her. “She came by to talk to Wes last night, and I asked her where she thought I should take you." I couldn't figure out why she was suddenly so upset about the idea of my talking to one of her friends, but the more I watched her, the more she shut down. "What's wrong?" I reached over and placed my hand on hers. I could feel her shaking, and as the silence in the car seemed to smother us she became more upset.

"Can you take me home?" she squeezed her eyes shut as a tear began to leak from the corner.

“What? Why?” I shook my head trying to figure out what had just happened.

“I just want to go home please,” her voice was almost inaudible as it trembled.

"If that's really what you want," I turned into a parking lot of a local grocery store as I shifted the Explorer into park.

"It is," she swallowed and when she realized where we were and that I'd had stopped driving, she became even more panicked.

ooooooooo

Maddie

I knew this was a bad idea. My brain had been telling me not to do this for days, yet when he'd kissed me it made me second guess my resolve. Now as we drove through the city all I could think about was the fact that he knew stuff about me. He'd been checking up on me, asking my friends what I liked, and he knew where I lived.

As crazy as it sounded, this was exactly how things had started with Richard. It was slow at first, but the longer I dated him, the more he found out. After the first month of our relationship, he knew everything about me.

"What are you doing?" I swung my head around trying to take in my surroundings. We were parked in a grocery store parking lot in the far corner away from the other vehicles.

"We need to talk," Cole turned the key, so the car stopped idling and shifted in his seat.

He had a look of determination on his face as he unfastened his seatbelt, and turned to face me fully. I unclipped my seatbelt also, but instead of moving closer, I burrowed back as far as I could get away from him.
