My Best Friend's Dad Yearns For Me 11
Caleb's POV"Did he hurt you?"She went completely still.For a moment, I wasn't sure she had even heard me over Emily's voice.Then her gaze dropped to my hand.I followed it. My hand was still resting lightly against her knee.I frowned.When had that happened?I pulled it away immediately and settled it on my thigh. Control. I had lost it for exactly one second.One second too long."No," Rosalie finally answered.Her voice was quiet. "I'm fine."She wasn't. I could see the faint red mark around her wrist from where the bastard had grabbed her.My jaw tightened.She's hurt. It's barely a mark. She is hurt.I stared out the window. It's none of your business.A low growl rumbled somewhere deep inside me. I clenched my teeth. That voice had become increasingly difficult to ignore since she walked into my life.Or perhaps since I walked into hers.Either way, it needed to stop."Are you sure?" I asked.Rosalie glanced at me. For a fraction of a second, something vulnerable flickered a

Rosalie POV"Is there a problem here?"The words resonated in my ears again. Maxwell was now facing him directly while I watched from behind. "So you're talking to me?" His brows furrowed as he looked Caleb up and down. "This doesn't concern you."Caleb didn't move. He didn't even blink. His hands remained tucked neatly inside the pockets of his tailored black trousers, his posture relaxed in a way that somehow made him look even more intimidating."It ceased being private," he said evenly, "the moment she asked you to let go."The small crowd that had begun forming around us fell completely silent. Maxwell scoffed."She's my girlfriend.""Ex-girlfriend." The correction left my mouth before I even thought about it.Every pair of eyes swung toward me. Maxwell's face tightened."C’mon. We are not over yet. Babe, you know I didn't mean to cause all of this drama.""I know exactly what you meant." I lifted my chin. "And I also know we're over."His jaw flexed."You can't throw away four

Rosalie POV"You've been staring into space for the last five minutes."Emily's voice snapped me back to reality."Huh?"She narrowed her eyes suspiciously."I asked if these earrings looked better with silver bracelets or gold."I blinked. "I... didn't even know you were asking a question.""I knew it."She sighed dramatically, holding up the velvet jewelry box again."You've officially left Earth."I couldn't help letting out a small laugh."I'm sorry."She opened the box once more, admiring the sparkling diamond earrings inside."I'll forgive you because these are gorgeous.""You really like them?" I asked an obviously dumb question because the items were damn gorgeous. I could swear the thought of stealing them came to mind. "I do."She smiled softly."Dad's hopeless at remembering birthdays."Her words really surprised me."He is?""Oh, absolutely."She laughed. "The man remembers billion-pound meetings but forgets his own daughter's birthday."I chuckled."So this..."She lifte

Rosalie POVThe applause seemed to go on forever. Heat burned across my cheeks as I hurriedly sat back down, wishing the chair would magically swallow me whole.God.Could this day get any more embarrassing? I didn't even dare look toward Caleb. Mr. Kingston.Whatever I was supposed to call him now. I simply shoved my notebook into my bag and focused on one thing. Escape.Students immediately crowded around him the moment the lecture ended and questions flew from every direction."Sir, do you take interns every year?""What advice would you give young entrepreneurs?""Can I connect with you on LinkedIn?"Even a few lecturers joined the crowd, laughing and shaking his hand. He answered every question with the same calm authority he'd displayed throughout the lecture. Meanwhile, I quietly zipped my bag.Perfect. Everyone was distracted. I could leave unnoticed.I slipped out of my seat; one step. Then another. Almost there."Miss Smith."I froze.No. Please no.The entire lecture hall w

Caleb POV "Interesting."The words left my mouth almost on instinct. I walked away from Rosalie's desk without looking back, every measured step belying the chaos brewing beneath my skin.Control. That was all this was. Control. I had spent twenty-seven years mastering it—in business, grief and life.One reckless night wasn't enough to undo decades of discipline. It couldn't.There's something about her. The voice slammed into my head. My jaw clenched.Enough.A low growl answered me. It was not aloud. It was inside. The beast I'd spent years burying shifted restlessly.She's really interesting. I ignored it and climbed the small platform. The lecture hall had gone eerily silent. Over two hundred students watched me expectantly.The dean. Three lecturers. Even a handful of visiting professors. Every one of them waiting. Good.Fear made people attentive. I placed both hands behind my back, surveying the room."I don't believe in lectures." Confused glances spread through the hall. "I

Rosalie's POVFriday.The word alone was enough to make my stomach twist into a thousand knots.I buried my face deeper into my pillow, squeezing my eyes shut like that would somehow make today disappear.No. I wasn't going.There was absolutely no way in hell I was stepping foot into Westfield today. Not when Caleb Kingston was going to be there.It was not after everything that had happened between us. Not after I'd practically died of embarrassment at breakfast.Nope.I was staying right here. My phone buzzed on the bedside table. I reached for it lazily.Emily: Morning, sleepyhead. You're coming today, right?I stared at the message for a few seconds before replying.Me: Not feeling too well.The three little dots appeared almost immediately.Emily: Seriously?Then another message popped in.Emily: Dad's coming today, remember? Need to collect those gifts from him before he flies out again.My chest tightened. Right. He was travelling after today. Good. Maybe I'd never have to see
