Chapter Twenty-Eight
STELLA
Well, it’s official. I’ve lost my ever-loving mind.
A week ago, I took Alex back. I guess I could say we took each other back since the whole thing that split us up was a misunderstanding—a misunderstanding caused by a pit viper named Brooke Clark.
I had to give us another chance though, even though I’m still wincing from the comments about my face.
He’s tried very hard to show me how much he loves me.
I’m going to keep reminding him though, even though it makes him feel guilty.
Guilt is much easier to deal with than self-loathing, let me tell you.
But, also, I sort of like the groveling. I deserve some groveling.
During our breakup, he lost weight. I don’t know how much, but it’s enough that you can tell.
I’m sure his coach is on him about it. He’s also sporting a beard now.
He must have decided to do that Octobeard thing, or is it Novembeard?
It doesn’t matter; he looks damn good in a beard.
It makes his eyes seem even bluer. His hair has gotten pretty long too.
He could totally pull off one of those man buns.
On other guys, I think they look kind of dumb, but on Alex, it’s hot.
Speaking of looking good. I need to get ready.
Alex is taking me out tonight; he’s picking me up at five.
I don’t know where he’s taking me, but he wants me to wear my blue dress.
I know why he wants me to wear it. He likes what it does for my girls, and since all we’ve done is kiss this week, he may be hoping he can unbutton me again.
It is a definite possibility, but I used it as leverage.
I told him I’d wear the dress if he kept the beard and wore a man bun.
I giggled when I asked. He, reluctantly, agreed. I can’t wait to see him.
