I bit my lip and breathed through my noise.

"Please don't hate me." She blurted out before hanging up the phone "I love you."

With my arms still crossed, I took a deep breath before facing the giant and huffing "I'm kind of stranded."

A frown was etched onto his features and his jaw was ticking as he watched me. His fingers twitched at his side. He took a few long steps to his bike and handed me the smaller helmet that he had bought.

I took it and accidentally our fingers brushed. Sparks flew up my arm and I almost jolted at the sensation.

No words were passed between us as both his hands went to rest on my hips. My gasp at the contact could probably have woken the dead.

His eyes were on me but mine were looking straight ahead at his stomach. He lifted me onto the bike before getting on himself.

My fingers shook as I wrapped my arms around his middle. He revved the engine as I pressed up against him. I heard a deep sounding noising like an intake of breath as I did so.

I clung to him as if my life depended on it.

Chapter Fifty-Seven

Chapter Fifty-Seven

Pathetic fallacy is the technique used in literature where the writer purposely makes the weather a certain way to reflects the character's mood. It hardly rained in California but when it did, I sometimes liked to believe that someone out there cared. That it was not just me on my own.

The rain was batting on the window. It had been since Stone left. I watched the raindrops fall for a while until I ended up fishing out an old photo album from my father's bedroom.

I sat on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate while taking a painful trip down memory lane. All while restraining the urge to break down once again.

Just when I started to feel my chest become heavy, a single loud knock came from the door. Loud enough that I almost mistook it for thunder.

I shut the book of photographs and stood up to walk over to the door.

I suspected that it was Lana as I made my way across the living room. She had been probably worried about me being by myself even if I insisted I was fine. I told her that I needed to face the apartment and the memory of him eventually.

Opening the door, I held onto the handle tightly as I took in the sight of him. Of the person I wanted it to be.

"You came back." I uttered in shock.

"I never left."  He replied as his eyes trailed from my head to toe and then back.

Stone looked devastating. His veins bulged from the muscles in his arm as he ran a hand through his wet hair. His shirt was soaked. So wet that I could see the outline of his abs.
