part!” I said with an appalled look on my face.
“They take all the good parts of a movie and cram it into two minutes,” Renegade continued. “You know the whole movie after watching the preview.”
“Like I said, the previews are the best part!”
He sighed exasperatedly as he said, “Just start the movie. I’ll be right back.”
Renegade came back with a large bowl of popcorn and sat on the sofa next to me. Once the movie started, I rested my head in his lap. Time stood still as I laid there with him. I didn’t want the moment to end. He began running his hands through the long strands of my hair, and after a few minutes I drifted off to sleep. When the credits began to play, Renegade eased himself off the sofa and lifted me up into his arms. I was barely awake as he carried me back to his bedroom. He carefully laid me on the bed and pulled the covers over me. He leaned down and lightly kissed me on top of my head. He whispered goodnight and walked out of the room.
It’s been three days since that night, and I haven’t really seen him since. He comes in after I’ve already gone to bed, and he leaves for work before I get up. The empty glasses on the coffee table are the only signs he’s even been there .
Other than a few visits from Tessa and Courtney, I’ve basically been hanging around his house solo. And now, I’m bored out of my ever-loving mind. I’ve finally caught up on all my True Blood episodes and read all the books I had saved on my Kindle. I’ve even read all the magazines Tessa brought me three times . I’ve watched the bruises on my body slowly fade away, and I’m feeling more like my old self every minute. Now, I just feel stir crazy.
I don’t know what I would do without Tessa. She has been my saving grace this week. She’s been by every day to check on me and make sure I have everything I need. She’s so easy to talk to, and she’s really grown on me in the short time that I’ve known her. I can see why all the guys are crazy about her. I never thought I’d see the day when Cole Bishop would settle down again, but she’s perfect for him.
During one of our talks, she told me about her brother, Duce. She seemed to really understand how hard it has been for me to lose Ace. Even though her situation is much different from mine, it still hurts to lose somebody you truly care about. She told me that she had to break the news to her parents about what had happened to him. Her mother didn’t take it very well. She’d always hoped that her son would come back home, and they’d be a happy family again. Tessa said she’d always known that wouldn’t happen. She saw the change in him years ago, but she was still shocked that he’d try to hurt her like he did. It’s amazing what people will do when they’re desperate.
Since Renegade has been busy with work, he’s been sending Tessa and Courtney to check on me every day, and he’s only called a few times. Other than that, I haven’t even seen him. I really enjoyed spending time with him the other night, and I wanted to see him again. It was one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time, and it was starting to piss me off that he hadn’t been around. He was the one that demanded that I come here, and now he’s incommunicado! It’s bullshit. I could be at home reading and watching TV. I don’t see the point in me being here if he’s not even going to be around. I’ve had enough.
I did my best to take a shower without getting my cast wet. Fixing my hair was a challenge, but I made the best of it. I left it down and loose around my shoulders. I used my foundation to cover the remaining bruises on my face. They were almost gone, but I didn’t want anyone to see what was left of them. The bright pink cast was bad enough. I slipped on a pair of jeans and one of my favorite long sleeved Guns and Roses t-shirts. I pulled on my boots and called a cab to come pick me up. I was going to pay Renegade a visit at the
