And maybe she was right. Maybe she didn’t need me. I was nothing special. I was just someone who could easily be forgotten.
And maybe being here would be good for her. In this place, I would not be able to hurt her.
I saw her as she kissed both females goodbye and went inside the apartment building alone. I followed her movements until I could no longer see her.
My gaze then darted to the window on the third floor, the one she was occupying. After a few minutes, the lights went on, and I saw her open the curtains and look at the road below her before she drew them closed.
“Should we go to her apartment?” Dominic asked, his forehead creasing.
“No. We’ll just stay here.”
“Come on, man! I’m hungry. We’ve been sitting here the whole day. We didn’t come all the way here just to watch Nadia. If you don’t want to talk with her, let me get the job done.”
“Fuck off! Go buy your food and go back to the hotel. I’ll stay here.”
“Whole night? You will stay here for the whole night?”
I pressed my fingers to my temples and nodded my head. “Go ahead. I’m okay here.”
“Fine. Because I’m hungry. Do you want me to get you something to eat?”
“No. And don’t come back. I’ll pick you up from the hotel tomorrow.”
“Sounds good. You know, you can just tell me if you want to see her alone.” He chuckled, and I didn’t answer back. I didn’t have the energy anymore. He could think of whatever he wanted to think of.
I leaned my elbow on the window as I watched my Beta slip off the car and go on his way.
Chapter 66
BETA DOMINIC.
Ihad just gotten outof the shower and put on fresh clothes when I heard movements in the living room of the suite the Alpha and I shared. I went out to see Alpha Riley slumped on the couch, his head leaning on the headrest with his eyes closed.
“How was your night?” I asked him as I walked to the adjacent kitchen and started operating the coffee machine. “Coffee?”
“Yes, strong one,” he answered. “Check flights back to Harley within the day. We’re going home.”
A smile crept onto my lips as I turned around to look at him. “So you talked with her? Three tickets then?”
“Just two. She’s not coming home with us.” He answered coldly.
“What? She said no and you’re just giving up and fucking off? What the fuck, man!”
“Shut the fuck up!”
“What exactly did you tell her?”
“I didn’t talk with her. Heck, I didn’t even go near her.”
“What? Fuck, you’re really fucked up! You spent weeks looking for her relentlessly and now that she’s just a few feet away from you, you’re cowering?”
“I’m done. Just do what I said. Two tickets as soon as possible.” He didn’t even give me time to explain as he stormed out of the living room and headed for his bedroom, slamming the door behind him.
I stopped the car at the entrance of the airport terminal before handing the Alpha the printout of the flight details.
“Hold it,” he said as he unbuckled his seat belt.
“No. It’s yours. It’s just one ticket.”
