Anxiety.
It was a bad thing to have. But Ella wasn’t exactly new to it. That didn’t mean her heart wasn’t beating so fast she felt like throwing up.
She wiped her sweaty palms on the soft velvet fabric of her skirt. She glanced at herself in the mirror again, frustrated at how unsettled she looked. She pulled out a tissue from its pocket and dabbed her forehead of sweat, pinched her cheeks for color so she wouldn’t look so pale and… well, terrified.
The weekend had gone by fast. Too fast. And once again, she would have to face Kaiden with the memory of their kiss still fresh in her head.
The kiss.
That was all she could think about the entire weekend. How was it every weekend since she started working for Kaiden had always been occupied with thoughts of him. That just went to show how much she needed to stay away from him.
She scoffed at herself. How many times had she said that?
I’ll stay away from him, he’s bad news.
