15. Noah
Dani’s standing in front of me in a v-neck shirt that has buttons, except the buttons aren’t buttoned all the way up. They’re buttoned up for me to see a sneak peek of her cleavage.
Fuck, I can’t stop staring at her.
“What the hell are you staring at?” She snaps me out of my daze.
I clear my throat. “Can we go already?”
“Awe, is someone hungry?” She grins, slinging her purse over her shoulder.
We walk out the front door and she locks it behind us.
“Are we taking your car or mine?” I ask.
“Mine.”
She pulls her car keys out of her back pocket. I have to look away from her because her jeans are hugging her ass so well.
This is fucking torture, man. Why am I doing this to myself? More importantly, why is she doing this to me?
She throws me the keys and I catch them in my hands.
“You’re driving,” she says.
“I figured that out when you threw the keys at me.”
“You’re lucky they didn’t hit you in the face.”
“Well, you already hit me in the face with your freezer. I think that’s enough for today, don’t you?”
She gets into the passenger’s side of the car and I step into the driver’s side. Putting the key into the ignition, music plays right away.
“I didn’t know you listen to Queen.”
She turns to me, cocking her head. “There are a lot of things you don’t know about me.”
My eyes grow wide as I turn away from her, biting my bottom lip.

Hey, bro. Sorry for updating you so late. Nothing new to report, except Grayson was driving me fucking crazy so I sent his ass home
Anyways, we were waiting to hear from Dr. Miller for hours for an update about Lizzie. The nurse came by and told us that she’s been backed up today, so she’ll update us tomorrow. Don’t worry, I got your back
ME
Have I ever told you that I love you?
XANDER
I’m flattered
BTW, how are you enjoying your quality time with Dani?
ME
If Grayson told you to ask me that, tell him he’s a dumbass. Bye
“That was Xander. I told him to update me if anything happens while we’re gone.”
“Are there any updates about Lizzie?” The eagerness in her voice makes me hopeful that something positive is going to come out of this nightmare.
“He said they’ve been waiting for Dr. Miller for hours because she got backed up. They won’t hear from her until tomorrow. He told me he’ll let me know what she says.”
She takes a deep breath and nods her head.
I have no idea what she’s thinking about. I wish I could get into her head. Okay, maybe I don’t.
Some things should remain a mystery, right?
