As Jason packed his bags, getting ready to leave my place, I stared at the phone Antonio had given to me. To be honest, I wasn't willing to go through everything on Rae's phone. Suddenly, I started to feel like I was going to invade her privacy. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to have someone go through my private messages and calls. That was absurd.  "You got a new phone?" I looked up at Jason when he asked me that.  I nodded. "Kinda." He let out a throaty laugh, dropping his bag on my table. "Why? You've already got one.

Wrapping my arms around myself to create warmth, I turned around and just walked to the huge bed.  I felt lonely.  Before leaving the mansion with Ivan, I had been hopeful that things would work out well for us, but then, he had to fuck it all up. This was past ten, yet, he hadn't come home.  I really wondered why I was waiting for him. I was being hopeful that he'd show up and tell me how much he missed me.  Why had he made me feel so joyful tonight, only for him to ruin it all?
