Chapter Fourteen

Hunter

The last two days have been excruciating. Reese consumed my every thought. That’s both a good and bad thing. There have been moments I was happy she was on my mind, like last night after I fell asleep when I dreamt of her. Other times, not so much–like this morning when I woke up at four o’clock and packed up my bag. The entire time I was freaking out about what lies ahead of us.

Tiffanie.

Her parents.

Playing pretend.

As good of a job as I do “acting” on a daily basis, this might be more than I can handle. I know these people. Correction. I knew these people. I’m hoping they’re better versions of who they used to be. If not, I might go ape shit and punch someone.

That’s why I’m freaking out.

If I punch someone, my cover will be blown. Reese’s plan will go down the drain. All of this will be for nothing.

Not to mention I’ll make her situation worse for her.

So I’ve made my own plan for the reunion. Hopefully, it helps ensure my identity remains a mystery.

Keep quiet. Only speak when spoken to. Avoid Tiffanie at all costs. In and out, as quickly as possible. If Reese wants to stay and hang out with the assholes that used to make her life a living hell, I’ll fake being sick or tired. As my “fiancée” she’ll have to be understanding. Either she’ll leave with me or let me leave on my own.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, I grab my bag and make my way downstairs. Reese should be pulling in any minute. The second I get in her car, I need to be in character. She’s my fiancée. We’re a happy couple. I desire her.

That last part won’t be hard to fake. In fact, it might be hard to hide. I need to keep my dirty thoughts under control while we’re there. Once we get back and I tell her the truth, then I can think about making my move. Until then, I need to keep it professional in private and personal in public.

Knowing how hard that is going to be makes me wonder if this is a good idea after all.
