Chapter 37 : Decisions and Regret

Cruz’s POV

What a day! Damn, I do not remember the last time I was in such a boring meeting. Most of them were agonizingly slow, but this one was practically unbearable. I contemplated making up some excuse to leave, but mercy was finally shown and I dipped out of the room as fast as I could.

Now, minutes away from my apartment, I want nothing more than to call the one person who I know will make me feel at ease. Haven.

After our kiss in the rain and once we parted ways, I could not tear my mind away from her. The warmth of her skin. The touch of her lips. The smell of her hair. That irresistible twinkle in her eyes.

For the life of me, she was a drug I did not want to quit. Being with her was the high of my life, and being away for such a short amount of time was agonizing.

The car comes to a rolling stop and I slip out in record time, making my way through the main doors and up to the elevators where I scan my card and the doors close, taking me to my destination.
