I snort, picturing her sitting on the edge of her seat, wondering if I’ve lost my damn mind.
My fingers fly across the keyboard.
Since they have information about my dad.
Another message pops up.
Interesting…
I bite my lip, debating whether to tell her about Bane, about how everything has changed. About howI’vechanged.
Screw it.
She’s my best friend. If I can’t tell her, who the hellcanI tell?
I spill my guts quickly before I lose my nerve.
I slept with him.
Trinity’s reply pops up a half a second later with big-eyed emojis.
YOU SLEPT WITH WHO???
Cooper!!!!
I admit, covering my face with my hands and peeking through my fingers. Did I really just tell her I slept with Bane. I read the one word confession. Yep. I sure as shit did. AHHHHH…..
OMG, you stole his money AND gave him your V-card? Bitch, you are wild!
I can practically hear her laughing through the screen, and I can’t help but smile. There’s a reason she’s my ride or die.
Wait! What kind of problem?
Biting my lip, my fingers hover over the keyboard. Shit. I want to tell her everything, but I can’t. I can’t betray the Kings. Not when they’ve trusted me with something so important.
Nothing I can talk about.
Sorry.
Secrets don’t make friends, bitch.
I’m sorry. :: sad face ::
:: Heavy sigh :: It’s a good thing I love you.
I breathe a sigh of relief.
Just check in more often so I know you’re alive, kk?
Promise!
Gotta go. Talk soon!
Be safe.
She writes back before I close the channel.
Sliding my headphones back on, I hit play on my playlist. Imagine Dragons blasts in my ears as I dive back into my work. I’ve spent the last few hours trying to break through a firewall that seems impenetrable. The Valenciaga network is no joke—whoever set this up knows what they’re doing.
