Chapter Fourteen

Escape

I was laying there in shocked silence listening to the song Chase left playing. I was so ashamed of how he was making me feel I reverted to the person I used to be.

My mother had made it clear that if I ever had any real connection with a man it would be one-sided. No man is his right mind would ever want a girl like me, broken and used. My tears gone now as I had dried up a long time ago.

I should go and shower, but then remembered that my water had been shut off. Besides, I could still smell him, and I never wanted to forget that smell. “God what have I done?” I said aloud. “Now I’ve lost him.”

“Judging by the song playing and the fact he is with John right now, you haven’t lost anyone,” Lori said from the door, startling me.

“Oh Lori, I was so scared,” I cried. “I had never had those feelings before and he…he made me come.”

Lori chuckled walking over to the bed and took a seat. “Jaden, the feelings are normal,” she said. “You’re beautiful and Chase really likes you. It is fine to like him back. You have got to stop allowing your mom to run your thoughts.”

“He was so sweet and gentle,” I said. “He recited love quotes to me and he said it had been four years for him.”

“He wasn’t lying,” Lori assured her. “He hasn’t been with anyone since Samantha fucked him over. He thought he was in love with her. He was even ready to marry her.”

I sat up clutching the blanket. “He walked in on her in bed with a guy,” she explained. “She told him that he was crazy to believe in love and that all any woman wanted from a man was his money. After, he packed and left he closed himself off.”

“What about all the women I’ve seen him in the papers with?” I asked.

“They were his PA’s.” she answered. “There were so many because each one proved Samantha right.” Lori brushed my hair off my face. “Chase only sleeps with a woman he cares about.”

I groaned and flopped back on the bed. “It doesn’t matter anyway,” I said. “If my mom or sister found out about him…Well they would do anything to make sure I’m never happy; might as well cut my losses now. Besides, I still have to work for him. It’s best to just pretend it never happened.”

Lori’s cell buzzed. She pulled it out and read the text. “Get up, shower, and pack,” she said. “We’re going to the island a little early.”

“That’s sounds lovely, only one problem,” I said and Lori gave me a questioning look. “My water was shut off.”

She rolled her eyes. “Get up, get dressed, and packed,” she repeated. “You can shower at my place.” Then she walked out the door. “I take it that your IPOD is coming?” she asked as she switched it off.

“Of course,” I shouted back. I stood and put on the clothes I had been wearing earlier.
