Chapter Seventy One

PaigeI had no idea where Pete was taking me and I really didn't care, maybe I had finally lost my mind given I had only met this man a few hours ago and knew nothing about him except his name. The city stretched beneath us as we stepped onto the abandoned rooftop, the skyline glowing against the dark sky. Somewhere below, traffic moved like a river of headlights, completely unaware of the mess happening inside my head.Pete carried two bottles of water and a bottle of champagne he'd somehow managed to rescue from the gala.He held it up."Before you judge me, I would like you to know this was very expensive."I laughed "You are stealing from a charity event?""more like borrowing.""Without permission?""Exactly."I shook my head "You are ridiculous.""And yet you followed me here."He had a point.We sat against the low concrete wall overlooking the city.Pete handed me the champagne and I took a small sip as the bubbles tickled my nose and he just watched me with amusement. I like

PaigeI don't know how long we sat there talking but at some point, I stopped thinking about the time, about Dante or Keisha and it felt like I was just me after a really long time. It didn't help that Pete was so easy to talk to, with him I didn't have to pretend to be someone I am not to keep up with him, he seemed to just enjoy me. I glanced down at my wrist and my eyes widened at the time"Oh, shit."Pete nearly choked on his drink "What?"I quickly checked the time again "It's almost midnight."He laughed a little "Seriously?""Yes." I stood up so quickly that I almost lost my balance "I have to go, I should be home by now.""Time flies when you are having fun."I looked at him."Apparently."He stood and dusted off his trousers."Come on, I will take you home.""You don't have to, I can take a cab." i offered but he was not having it"I know." He smiled, "but I want to, my mom raised me right."We made our way down the stairs, the city growing louder as we left the rooftop beh

Chapter Seventy Three

PaigeThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I was smiling and I had no idea why, I had this rush of excitement, then last night came rushing back.It had started off terribly but I ended up having one of the best nights I had in a long time. I groaned softly and pulled the blanket over my face for a second just wanting to stay in that bliss for a bit longer.Pete's face came to mind, his perfect jawline and full lips, and I could feel the rush of excitement inside me. I laughed quietly to myself before I finally pushed the blanket aside and climbed out of bed.After pulling on my robe, I walked toward the nursery, the door was slightly open.I pushed it wider, Kyla was already wide awake.She was lying in her crib, kicking her little legs and making soft sounds to herself.I smiled "Who is a sneaky little baby?"Her eyes immediately found me as I walked over and picked her up."When did you wake up little princess?"She stared at me with those wide, curious eyes."You sne

Paige"Hello?""Mrs. De Luca?"I frowned "Yes?""I'm calling from the club where your husband is."I closed my eyes, of course this was about him. "What happened, is he okay?" I asked"He's had quite a bit to drink."I glanced toward the nursery where Kyla was sleeping."How much?"The man hesitated "Enough that he shouldn't be driving in that state."I sighed."Is he conscious?""Yes. But he's refusing to take a cab and I can't let him drive in the state he is in now."I rubbed my forehead. "Where are you?"He gave me the name and address of the club."I understand, I will be there." I ended the call.I grabbed my bag, checked on Kyla one more time, and left the house.Rosa was downstairs."Where are you going?" she asked when she saw me rush out"to get Dante, he is drunk at some club and insists on driving home so I have to go get him."Her expression immediately changed."oh my goodness, I will watch Kyla?"I didn't wait for a response, I took a cab across town, the entire ride,
