Chapter 11Sadie WildePOVI am dressed as casually as possible. The plan is to get our nails done first then go shopping. The guys will get us when we get near the food court. Dante got permission from the mall to do this thanks to my uncle.But that’s not what’s playing on my mind right now. No what’s on my mind right now is that Beck kissed another woman, and it ticked me off. it freaking ticked me off. this unexplainable rage filled me. I have no idea why, I don’t know why I’m angry; why was I so angry? Why did I feel the need to hide it?“Sadie?” Tia brings me out of my thoughts.“Yeah?” I frown.“We’re here…” she nods toward the parking lot.I look around to see we’re indeed at the mall.I nod taking my backpack out of the backseat and get out of the car putting it on.“So what’s got you in such a pissy me mood.” Tia asks.I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t know I’m just not feeling myself today…” I lie.It was embarrassing that I am upset about a simple drunken kiss. Why am I still

Chapter 13One week later…Sadie WildePOVIt’s been a week since Beck took his things and left. True to his word his brothers came later that day and picked up all of his shit. Yet it felt like they were taking mine. It felt like they were taking a piece of me with them. I have no idea how to explain what that felt like that. I have no idea why Beck wanted to end things. Everything was going great. Better than great, until he went to sleep at his parents’ place and things changed. His older brother was oddly cold to me. Does he hate me? Is that why Beck ended things? But he didn’t even know about me… I’m so freaking confused and stuck in my own head.That is it, it has been confirmed, I am losing my damn mind, I can’t stop thinking about Beckett King. The hot firefighter, the sweetest guy I’ve ever come into contact with, I’ve never met another guy who is as sweet and as caring as he is. sometimes it feels so unreal how can anyone be like that.My bedsheets still smell like him, so I

Chapter 15Beckett KingPOVHearing Sadie was okay, she just has a mild concussion, I could finally breathe easier. But I couldn’t stop the guilt from setting in, if I was actively trying to avoid her, I would have noticed she wasn’t back sooner. She has a concussion because of me.She gets to go home today. Smith and Russo will be stating with her, until she’s okay.I’m at my parents’ house because Damon and Jess requested to see us. So here we are all sitting in their living room. even Jessica’s mother Nash is here. I don’t want to be here, I would much rather be with Sadie making sure she was okay, but I don’t think it would be right of me to be there not after how we ended things. I doubt she trusts me to look after her now. not that she cares or has asked for me.“So yesterday I went for a check-up. We found out the gender of the baby. Damon didn’t want to know, but I was so excited I couldn’t help but tell him.” Jessica says excitedly. She reminds me so much of herself when she

Chapter 17Beckett KingPOVStanding in front of Sadie’s apartment reminds me of the first time I visited her place, it was the reason for the current pain in my chest. The reason I had an embarrassing panic attack in front of my older brother yesterday.He is never going to let me live that down. The fact that he needed to rope Axel into helping me is what made it even worse. Axel would not stop teasing me this morning. The worst way to wake up believe me. what surprised me most was how worried my father was, Damon told me he sat by my side the entire night.So why am I here right now? Why am I visiting the woman who is the reason for that pain? Because I am a damn sucker for punishment. I almost turned and left ten times already. Why do I feel this way? Why am I even here? why do I still want to be close to her even if she wants nothing to do with being with me.I sigh and walk into her building, I greet her doorman like I always did, everyone is friendly as if they don’t know my he

Chapter 19Beckett KingPOVSo here I am standing in front of Sadie’s apartment once again. After the talk with Lex and Dan and then with my father. I knew I was making the right decision. So here I am standing in front of her apartment once more, one week later.I ring her doorbell.She opens her door happily and hugs me again like she did when I saw her last week.She lets me in, and I go to sit on the sofa. She was watching Naruto. “You can watch this finished if you want. We can talk after.” I tell her.She shakes her head. “I’ll watch it finished after we’re done talking.” She says.I nod. “Okay…” I hide my smile when I see her anxiously tapping her foot watching me.“So have you thought about it?” she asksI nod. “I have…”She narrows her eyes at me. “And what do you think?” she asks“We can start sleeping together again, but I have some conditions we need to follow…” I tell her.She frowns. “Why do we need conditions? What is this some type of contract relationship?” she asksI
