Chapter Six

FIVE DAYS LATER, WITH HIS HAT BACK WHERE IT BELONGEDAfter working late with a client, I drove home, changed out of the suit and tie I usually wore to the office, and I started to browse my cupboards for food, only to pause and decide, screw it, I’d just see what there was to eat at Bella’s.
So I grabbed my phone, keys, and wallet, and I headed out the door again within five minutes of walking through it. I knew she didn’t have other plans, so I didn’t even bother to call.
After the first time Bella and I had hooked up, exactly what I feared would happen had happened.
Shit got awkward.
She avoided me.
I might’ve avoided her too because I was freaked out and worried as hell that she’d regret it. So I stepped back a minute and gave her a chance to make the next move.
