Chapter Seven

"THAT WAS AWESOME," Nate chuckled as he yanked the passenger door of truck open and helped me in. "You have a good night now," he mimicked my words before bursting out in another fit of laughter. When I was safely inside, he slammed the old rust ridden door closed with a loud clang before jogging around to his side and hopping in. "Damn, baby. For a moment there, I thought her head was gonna spin around."

I fastened my seatbelt and pressed my palms to my cheeks. They were glowing from a mixture of anger and embarrassment. "I'm sorry if I overstepped the line."

"Are you kidding me?" Nate turned and gaped at me like I'd grown a second head. "Andi, that was the hottest thing I've ever seen." He turned fully in his seat so that he was facing me. "No one has ever done that for me," he added softly, the amusement shining in his brown eyes settling into a soft, blazing heat. "Thank you."

"You’re welcome." My cheeks continued to burn, but lust was the predominant reason now. "I don’t like it, Nate," I added when he cranked the engine. "How she treats you?" I clenched my fists and bit back a growl. "It makes my blood boil."

"Don't worry about it, Andi," he drawled as he reversed his truck out of his spot before tearing off through the trailer park. "I can take care of myself."

But you shouldn’t have too…

"Where are you going to sleep tonight?" Worry churned inside of me.

"Didn’t I tell you?" Nate slapped his hand against the steering wheel. "My truck's a two in one most days."

"Nate, don’t joke," I scolded, feeling helpless.

"If I don’t joke about it, I'll break," he replied, tone serious now, not looking at me. "And I refuse to let her break me. Okay?"

"Okay."

"I'll take you home."

"No, wait. I want to see her first." I turned and looked at his side profile. "Kim," I clarified. "I want to hear it from her."

"It's after midnight," he replied in a worried tone.

"I don’t care."

"Andi…" Twisting his neck from side to side, Nate rolled down his car door window and exhaled. "Callie –" His voice broke off and he ran a hand through his hair. "She doesn’t know any of this." He glanced sideways at me, expression pained. "Trey's the only father she knows."

"I'm not going to say anything to Callie," I replied quietly.

"You're not?"

"No, Nate. Callie's just a child. She doesn’t need to be dragged into any of this." I sort of wished I hadn't been dragged into it either. "I want to talk to Kim. That's all."

Nate looked incredibly unsure, but he nodded and took a left in the direction of Kim and Trey's house when we reached the exit of the trailer park.

I remained still as a statue the whole drive there. In truth, I didn’t know what I was going to say to Kim, or why I even wanted to see her. I only knew that I had to.
