Jenny’s POV “About what?” I asked tightly. “About me asking for forgiveness for being such a horrible ass to you since you got here?” he said gently. Well, Alex did say he felt guilty but I didn’t believe him for a second then. Now, looking into his eyes which were clearly filled with remorse, I don’t know anymore. I decided to go along with him to see where this will get me. “Would you like a cinnamon roll? They’re freshly baked” I asked softly. It took him a few seconds to respond, obviously stunned that I didn’t yell at him to get away from me. “Sure, I would never pass on a cinnamon roll” he said lightly as he came by and sat on a stool in front of the center counter. I put two pieces on the plate and placed it in front of him. He took a bite and groaned “These are so delicious, I don’t think two is going to be enough” I smiled and said “Well, I made an entire trey for you, while the other on

Jenny’s POVMegan, April, and I sit in the living room as we chat and talk about different things.It was very nice having Megan over and having a good time again after a very long period of hurt and sadness.Diana joins us at one point as she introduces herself to Megan and sits with us for a while before excusing herself to go help Sara with lunch.She invited Megan to stay for lunch but Megan promised her to stay another time.Even Lucas made a small appearance when he noticed an unfamiliar guest in the living room.I introduced them to each other and I noticed how Lucas was checking her out and Megan did not like that action one bit as she pursed her lips and practically glared at him until he looked away.Suffice it to say he was too nervous to sit with us as Megan made it clear that he wasn’t welcomed to, so he left briefly after the introduction.“April seems really nice, I’m glad you have each ot

Alex’s POVI have to admit, I was in a pretty shitty and dark mode. But the moment I was left alone with Jenny, I felt a little lighter and less off balance.She brought joy inside me whenever I talked to her.Whether she is being serious, emotional, angry, shy, even when she is being brutally honest and mean she still manages to change my mood instantly.She was very intriguing to me, and I never wanted to miss a chance to tease her, talk to her, listen to her, and hear her funny and witty retorts she always directs at me.This time she was left speechless though.She got caught in a lie and she was too innocent to covert it up or deny it again. It brought a wave of adoration inside me.She was up late waiting for me. It made me happy and excited that she was thinking about me, worried even.Who would have thought the girl who hated my guts a few days ago, was now worried about me?Our feelings for each other were

Jenny’s POVEnjoy the ride?How about you enjoy kissing my ass instead?It’s a good thing I was too angry to talk back at him the moment he started driving away from the house.I’m sure he wouldn’t mind taking me up on my metaphorical suggestion.I put my seatbelt on forcibly and crossed my arms against my chest while trying to keep my tears at bay.He knew exactly how much I hated being forced into something and he still did that to me again.Why?I pushed back my tears so I don’t appear so vulnerable and ask him.“You know how much I hate being forced into something, and you still did it anyway. I thought you weren’t going to hurt me again Alex. Isn’t that what you promised me two nights ago?” I asked him reproachfully.I saw his hand gripping the steering wheel tightly and his jaw clenching in a hard way.It took him a while to talk and I thought he w

Jenny’s POV We arrive to Fairbanks two hours later. Turns out, he has already reserved a suite for us at the hotel before we left Snow. Over confident, smug….. Ass. He carried both our bags and walked inside the huge suite in front of me. I was left completely astonished by the luxurious suite he chose. I should have guessed it would be magnificent. The hotel was one of the best in all of Fairbanks. The suite had a huge living room with a very large tv. A dining room that could fit ten people at least. A master bedroom twice as big as Alex’s room. And don’t even get me started on the bathroom. I wanted to live in there the whole trip and never get out. At least that way, I can avoid whatever Alex still has in store for me on this trip, and I could tell he does because of his so called ‘rules’. He wants the truth from me and I’m not sure I can or want to give it to him. I don’t want him to convince me to take a chance on him, or to live in the moment. Because I’m not sure
