look from one of my band mates. They could suck my dick for all I cared. I wanted to see what Lila wanted.
Hey. Can we meet at the park tomorrow - around one? I have a break during that time and I don’t want to wait around trying to kill time. I feel like we need to talk.
I immediately texted back yes . I wanted to speak to her too. The span of time since that night was starting to seem awkward to say the least. I knew that she would definitely get the response that she wanted; I missed her. I was not afraid to say that. The meeting started to move a bit faster. All I could think about was the time I would spend with Lila tomorrow. She was perfect, and I didn’t plan on losing her.
Chapter Seven
Lila
The next day, I woke up excited to see Chase once again. I didn’t even know why. I felt like this was the start of something new and I couldn’t wait to see what it would entail. Things were going to be great. I definitely wanted to get to know the real Chase. I couldn’t help compare him to Alec. There was no way I was going to go out with that loser again. I wanted Chase, and I was ready to tell him so.
When I got to the park, I saw him hanging out. He wore a disguise, but I knew who he was immediately. He probably got stalked by so many women that he needed to find a way to hide himself. Maybe it meant something that I actually knew him for who he was; that I could easily see through this disguise.
“Hey there,” I said. I was a bit nervous. The butterflies in my stomach were moving around, making me feel a tiny bit uneasy. I actually loved the feeling. Chase immediately smiled back at me with the same warm smile on his face.
“Hey there. I’m happy to see you again.”
I blushed. He really did care. I already felt more cherished in the first couple of seconds of our meeting than in the three painful hours I had to spend with Alec. He got up and we walked over to the swing set. Both of us took a spot on the swing for two people. We sat there, content and happy with a pleasant silence between us. I wanted to say something. After all, I was the one who initiated this. I didn’t want to cause an upset between us for calling him out here when it wasn’t needed.
“I’m sorry about the other night. I was stupid. I can’t hold my liquor very well, and I did something very foolish,” I started.
He smiled and gave me a hug, holding me tightly. “It’s all good. I’m sorry that I took advantage of you. You were just so gorgeous and sexy…but I didn’t intend to make things go that way. I’m sorry for jumping the gun. I wish I would have stopped.”
I smiled. I couldn’t believe he was so chivalrous. If any other guy was with me right now, I knew that they wouldn’t say anything like that. They would think I’d called them for more sex. I really liked him. He definitely made me feel like I was worth his time.
“Thanks for that. Shit happens. But at least you still want to see me.”
“That I do. So…what is this really about, Lila? I mean, I know shit happens, but I can tell you’re feeling sad.”
I immediately tensed. I was pretty shocked that he knew exactly what I was really thinking without even saying a damn thing.
I opened my mouth and then closed it before rushing on, “Well, my family is pushing me to follow their footsteps. Yesterday, I was forced to go on this horrible date with a guy I don’t even like. My parents are making me do this because they want us to get together. I hated it. From the moment I said hello, he wouldn’t shut the fuck up about his life. I mean, seriously, I get that he’s rich and crap, but so is my family. That isn’t an excuse for being a fucking conceited asshole the entire time.” I was afraid to tell him about the whole Alec thing.
He smiled patiently. “I understand, Lila. I’ve been there before, trust me on this one.”
That surprised me. I asked, “What do you mean?”
“Well, when I was younger, my parents wanted me to go into
