Chapter 91: Deja Vu, Part 2

"Yeah, my father is probably wondering where I am."

There wasn't a single bone in my body that didn't trust this guy - which was probably the stupidest thing ever - but I wasn't going to let him know that. We fell into step, the silence thick between us.

"So, what're you doing here anyway?" I winced. "I mean, I'm surprised to see you. It's almost like you're stalking me." I laughed nervously.

"My brother is a sucker for a good cause. He dragged me along." He glanced at me and winked.

My neck and face flushed, and I looked away, not wanting him to see how he affected me. He had a brother? Was it possible he was Jaxon's brother? I wanted to ask him, but how did I broach the topic?

This whole thing was too bizarre - the constant "accidental" run ins, the intense desire to be closer to him, the lack of fear, the inexplicable familiarity. Despite whatever weird déjà vu memories I had, I knew I'd never met this guy before, nor had I ever embraced him.
