If I focused on something else then I wouldn’t freak out.
Who the hell was I kidding?
I was totally freaking out.
*~*~*
Turns out it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Nothing bad happened when the gates opened, Max didn’t jump out at me. Nobody followed us or tried to run us off the road.
The sun shined through the windshield, the trees looking extra green today relaxing back into my seat I closed my eyes and took a calming breath.
We spent most of the day following Hugo Daley around.
His expensive suit was the kind that you had to have made especially for you and certainly wasn’t off the rack. He screamed money, his clothes, his car and even the way he carried himself.
His white blond hair was slicked back with his sunglasses covering most of his face. I snickered at his bright blue loafers, they were ridiculous and if that was fashion then I was glad I had no fashion sense whatsoever.
After hours of following him around the city, his driver finally dropped him off at the country club. Buttoning up his suit jacket he scanned the parking lot before ducking into the back entrance.
“The cameras can take it from here,” Ty said as he turned the car around.
“Cameras?”
“Yeah, Kitty installed them. Although we might have to go into the country club at some stage.”
“Into the country club?”
Ty turned and flashed me a smile.
“What?”
“You just gonna keep repeating what I say?”
“I am.” I frowned.
He chuckled and pushed a button on his radio “Evan, pick up the country club cameras.”
I sat back and watched Ty’s hands drumming on the steering wheel to the beat of the song that played on the radio.
He was a sexy driver.
Was there such a thing as a sexy driver? If there was then he was definitely one of them.
“Want to go and pick Eli up?”
I startled. Had he saw me watching him?
“Huh?”
“Want to go and pick Eli up?”
My heart hammered in my chest. I’d been fine staying in the car, but the thought of having to get out had me hyper ventilating.
“Hey,” his hand covered mine reassuring me with a gentle squeeze. “You’ll be fine.”
I nodded. There was nothing else I could do. I had to get back to normal, for Eli’s sake as well as my own.
I kept my eyes glued to Ty’s hand the whole way there, the rough pad of his thumb scratching against the top of my hand as he rubbed it back and forth. I closed my eyes and relished in the sensation.
