“Do you want me to come back when I’m done?” The corner of his mouth tips into a half smile.
“You do seem to keep the panic attacks at bay.” I smirk.
“If you need anything before I get back, you know my number.”
“Thanks, Romeo.”
“I’ll be back before you know it.” He covers my lips with his in a sweet yet passionate kiss before he leaves my room. Once he’s gone, I grab the duffel bag, setting it on my bed and start packing.
I grab some pants out of my dresser. A mix of jeans, leggings and sweats. Also grabbing multiple pairs of socks and panties, hipsters and boy shorts. I fold the pants in half then roll them up so they’ll take up less room in the bag. Moving to my closet, I flip through all my shirts, trying to decide what I want to take. I grab a few hoodies, a mix of t-shirts and some tank tops that I usually sleep in.
While in my closet, I grab my lock box off the shelf. Blaze let me live with him rent free, so I was able to save most of my money. I have quite a bit of cash saved up for situations like this. After I pack my shirts, I unlock the box and put my extra cartridges and edibles inside and lock it again. I grab a couple pairs of shoes and slide them in the bag before moving to the bathroom to collect any toiletries I’ll need.
I finally finish packing, change into some sweats and a tank top and am about to lay down when there’s a knock at my door. I move to open it and grin when I’m met with Rascal.
“I came back.” He glances at my tits and flashes me a sly smirk.
I smile, shaking my head. “You did. Come on in.”
“You make sweats look sexy as hell.” He closes the door behind himself, pulling me into his arms. I swat at him playfully. “How are you feeling?”
“Honestly?”
He nods his head.
“I’m sad and scared,” I tell him.
“Sad about Chains?”
“Yes. He was a good friend to me.”
“I was jealous of him at times,” Rascal admits.
“No way. Why?”
“Because of how close y’all were. As much as I tried to fight my feelings for you, I really couldn’t. I’m glad you had him though,” he tells me. “I’ll miss the little fucker, too. Come on, Princess, let’s get some sleep. We got a long day ahead of us.”
