Chapter Twenty-Five
Paisley
Another week passed, and autumn took hold. The days were getting shorter and the nights longer and colder. Although I was never cold at night. Not with Russell. He was my personal furnace, and I was starting to get attached.
This was new for me. I'd never been with a guy who I actually liked this much. It didn't help one bit to have our nights together be so f*****g hot it was a miracle we didn't set the house on fire.
After almost a full week of not hearing from my brother, he called three days running. I finally broke down and called him from my cell phone.
“What the hell is going on?” I asked as soon as he answered.
“Thanks for finally answering.”
“I'm not answering. I'm calling you. I have a life, you know.”
“I know you do.”
“What's going on?”
