Chapter 2
REED
Watching Lexie has quickly become my favorite pastime.
I know that she suspects someone has been following her.
She’s like a skittish little mouse, looking over her shoulder constantly checking to see what or who’s hiding in the dark.
If only she knew that I’ve been biding my time, waiting on the perfect moment to make myself known. It just hasn’t been the right moment yet, but I feel it coming.
Getting closer just in ear shot behind a pillar, I listen to her and Lainey’s whispers, catching bits and pieces of the conversation.
I would get closer but don’t want to risk being seen by Lainey. I don’t think she is aware of my obsession with her friend, but they will all find out soon, hopefully sooner than later.
Catching the part about my Honeybee meeting Lainey tonight at five, I smile to myself.
It’s time.
I shoot Kalix a quick text.
REED:
I’m coming over tonight.
KALIX:
Why?
REED:
You’ll see.
KALIX:
It better not be for some weird shit.
I start to type again, but before I finish he sends another text.
KALIX:
Ah, I guess you’re finally going to grow some balls.
REED:
Fuck off. Lainey must’ve texted you.
KALIX:
She tells me everything.
REED:
Awe how sweet
KALIX:
Eat a dick.
REED:
Not really my thing right now.
If anything changes, you’ll be the first to know *winky face*
KALIX:
Can’t wait to see you trip tonight.
REED:
She’s going to love me.
KALIX:
Right.
Laughing to myself, I pocket my phone and put a cigarette to my lips.
I feel like a fucking teenage girl right now.
I keep checking the time on my phone while I get ready. I run my fingers through my dark wet curls and spray cologne all over my clothes.
Usually, I don’t give a fuck about that sorta thing. I’ll do one spray and not even care about my hair because my helmet usually messes it up anyways.
Today is different though, it’s the day that Lexie will start to fall for me and first impressions matter, so I need to be on my best behavior.
Ha.
