I let out a breath. “Right. Back to that. I was waiting for him when Killian barged in here like a mad person declaring he needed to tell me something. During the middle of our conversation I received a text from Hunter that he was downstairs. Killian grabbed my phone and then that led to another ten-minute argument about me going to talk to Hunter. Which didn’t happen because Killian sent him this.” I grab my phone and go to my messages. “What the… he blocked Hunter’s number and deleted our conversation.”
“Wow. I am kinda speechless and that never happens. He’s got it bad.”
I’ve got it bad too.
“You know this means you can’t sleep with him. Like ever.”
“Why not?” Not that I am goi
ng to but that doesn’t mean the thought hasn’t crossed my mind.
“Because this is Killian, and he wants what he can’t have. And guys like him once the chase is over, they move on to the next in line.”
I frown but deep down I know she speaks the truth. For guys like him it is all about the chase.
Hayley stares at me. “You didn’t have sex with him, did you?” she accuses and my expression sours.
“No. We have barely kissed.”
“Good. Keep doing that. Nothing else. Don’t even let him cop a feel.” She smiles. “I never thought I would see the day that Killian Hendrix likes someone more than himself.”
“He’s not that bad.”
Then we both say, “Yes he is,” followed with a fit of giggles.
“What did the text he sent to Hunter say?”
“Sorry, I can’t come down. I’m busy with Killian,” I say it in a deep mocking tone as if I am Killian talking to her.
“What did Hunter say?”
“If he said anything, I don’t know being he is blocked, and the text is completely deleted from my conversations.”
“You going to say anything to him for fucking with your phone?”
“I don’t know. I definitely don’t want him thinking he can control me or tell me what I can do or whatever, but I don’t want to fight with him. It wasn’t easy for him to confess his feelings.” I still can’t believe he put himself out there to me. It feels like a weird dream where I am suddenly the popular girl at school, and all the hot guys want to date me.
“Are you going to talk to Hunter?”
“I should apologize to him.”
“I wouldn’t tell Killian. Not with him acting like a jealous freak.”
I tap my chin. “True.” Who knows what he would do. I thought he was going to break my phone last night.
“How did your life turn into such a clusterfuck?”
“Killian,” I tell her and smile when a text from him pops up on my screen. I didn’t think I would hear from him at all. It feels good to know he is thinking about me too.
Killian: Be ready in fifteen. I’m taking you out.
Liri: Is this a non-date?
Killian: Maybe…pack a bag too. You’re staying in my room tonight.
Liri: Hmm I might.
Killian: Don’t argue just do it.
