Chapter 8
Everly
The night was already off to a great start. I had been wanting to try Providence for ages, but it was out of my price range. A single parents pay could just afford what we needed in SoCal. But I would give up everything of mine to make sure Madison was happy.
Madison.
He kept trying to breach that subject and I wasn’t ready to talk about her. Every question outside of what I had told him I had to redirect him.
“Where is her dad at?”
A burst of white wine escaped my lips as I coughed at this question. I definitely was not ready to answer that one. I would have to redirect him again. “He was a one-night stand. I got drunk when I came home for Christmas break and woke up in a hotel room. I don’t even remember what he looked like.”
Same thing I had told my family would have to do for now.
“Oh. So, she doesn’t have any male figure in her life?” He looked confused, and somewhat sad for her.
“She has my uncle. That’s all who’s ever been there for her. What about you? What have you been doing for the last eleven years?” I turned it back on him, tired of all his questions.
“Finished college, took six tries to pass the bar, toyed around with a few jobs, finally found this one. Wasn’t expecting to run into you. That’s for sure.”
Fuck. He wasn’t going to let me read his expression. He wanted to play games.
“I’m honestly surprised you graduated. Did you pay someone to pass your classes for you? You could barely concentrate when I was tutoring you.”
“That’s because I wanted a taste of you. Now I want the whole meal. We have unfinished business you know, Everly.” He gave me a scorching glare, so hot I felt my thin lace panties start to melt.
“This isn’t a date Noel. Even if it was, I don’t sleep with someone on the first one.” I gave him a pointed look.
“Everly, quit playing games. We’ve already been there. It would just be picking up where we left things in the library. You should have come home with me.” His face contorted into an expression of helpless need as he ground his teeth, obviously trying to control himself. “I have waited eleven years to find you again, and I’m not going to give up this time. Okay? You have something that belongs to me and I intend to claim it.”
Shivers ran over my body. Did he know about Madison and was just waiting for me to tell him the truth? There was no way that was possible. I hadn’t even told my few friends from school I was pregnant. I ghosted everyone. I thought back to that night in the library, trying to remember what I could have said to make him think he had any claim on any part of me.
Then it hit me like a brick. As he gave me a quick fucking I would never forget,
