Chapter 12: Orders

Jade

Adrian and I are in my dorm room right now, flipping through channels as we lay side by side on my bed. However, neither of us is watching television. Adrian fans himself dramatically as he mentions our encounter with Gideon. "Oh honey, if looks could kill, I'd be dead. The way that man looked at me when he saw you in my arms… he was so hot. You didn't tell me he was older, though. I expected a nineteen-year-old thug."

I roll my eyes at his comment. "I actually don't know how old he is. Truthfully, I don't really know much about Gideon. Our encounters have been kind of a whirlwind. What am I going to do, Adrian? I really feel something for him."

Adrian shakes his head with a snicker. "I really don't know what to tell you. He seemed so intense. Maybe he does care about you, and there's another reason why he pushes you away. I mean, you're gorgeous and sweet. Any man would be lucky to have you."
