?WINGLESS AND BEAUTIFUL?
?EPISODE 84?
“Well, I can’t say he didn’t deserve that.”
“He was gonna board the plane, leaving the diary herefor you to find, not even tell you what he did.”
“You made him tell me in person.”
“You deserved nothing less.”
“Thank you.”
Hunter leaned forward and kissed me gently. Suddenly,my phone rang, interrupting our moment. It was Denise.
“Hey!” she greeted. “Did you hear? Chaise went back toGermany.
And it sounded like he will finish school there.He’s not coming back.”
I sighed. “Yeah, I guess.”
There was a pause on the other line. “You’re okay?”
“Yes. We talked. He confessed something. I don’t know if I could ever forgive him.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll tell you everything later. Right now, I’m justenjoying my date.”
“Date? What date? And with whom?”
I saw Hunter’s lips curve into a smile.Sht!
Denise was another person I needed to come clean to. I would do that soon.
“My ex-boyfriend,” I replied.
There was silence on the other line. Hunter raised abrow at me,clearly saying that he wasn’t happy about the title I just gave him.
“I mean… well… I think he is my boyfriend again,” I said, correcting myself.
Hunter finally grinned again. He leaned forward and I felt his lips on my scars, leaving a trail of kisses down to my neck and I fought for breath as I felt all my nerves comeback to life.
“H?” Denise asked.
“Yes,” I replied weakly when I felt Hunter’s nose at the base of neck.
“He’s back in town?”
“Yes. For a while now.” I struggled to push Hunter away.
With the things he was doing to me, I found it quite hard tobreathe, let alone think straight.
“So what took him so long to go after you?” There was accusation in her voice.
I sighed. “Chaise.”
“Oh. You mean, he thought you and Chaise were morethan friendly so he kept his distance?”
“Yes,” I replied.
“Oh, well. I hope I get to meet him soon. I’m dying tomeet the guy who made the great Allison Harley fall head over heels in love, she could not open up her heart toanother guy, even if it was somebody as hot as Chaise.”
I saw Hunter grin at that.
Denise’s voice was so loud Hunter could hear her every word. I couldn’t help the blushon my face and I was quite thankful that it was dark in our garden.
“Actually, Denise… you already met him,” I said.
“What?” She sounded really confused. “Met him?Where?”
I took a deep breath and asked, “How many guys do youknow whose names begin with an H?”
There was silence on the other line and it seemed likeshe was thinking. Then she said, “Actually, I can’t think of aguy I know whose name starts with an H, that you could have…” She paused and then she wailed, “Nooo!!!”
With that, Hunter took the phone from me and said,“Stop interrupting my date, cuz. Tell your mom I would behome late.
Talk to you later.” And he hung up on her.I groaned. “She is so going to kill me!”
He laughed. “She’s been trying to do that to me for thelast seventeen years but so far she hasn’t succeeded yet.
Don’t worry. She’s not very good with assassination plots.”
I laughed and then I rested my head on his shoulderagain. After a minute, my phone beeped.It was Denise: Seriously, Alice? Hunter?
I smiled. Hunter took my phone from me and typed amessage: Seriously, Cuz. Me. – H
Denise: You two have some serious explaining to do. Iwanna kill both of you!Hunter chuckled.
“You’re not going to reply for me?”
He shook his head. “You’re on your own now.” Hewinked.
I pinched him on the side and he let out a yelp. Then he tightened his arms around me and kissed my cheek.
I typed something on my phone for Denise: Okay, I willexplain everything later. Don’t call on a hit just yet. – Alice
I stared up at Hunter. He leaned down to kiss my lips.
“Hunter, you had a fight with Don Winston once. You justpunched him. Why?”
