“You don’t dance?” She arches a brow and I do the sa co Her hips shift beneath ainstover her shoulder, she offerswhile I keep my hands on her I pull her closer Closer still until her back is nestled to my front and I slip ainst her stohs, and I swear I feel her treone wide, her lips glistening as if she just licked theot here and I’m ready to claim my prize

Her She’s all I want All I’ll ever want

I never believed in the fairy tale, even when I was a little kid My life has been full of tragedy since my mom died My illusions were shattered completely when I was fifteen years old I became such a shell of myself, I never believed anyone could truly accept and love me It sounded pitiful when I adh my entire life alone, but it was the truth I felt co with Fable, all of those old, harsh feelings are slowly evaporating She lovesthat’s happened to me in my life and she doesn’t care She wants to help me, stand by me, be there for me notoo fast, wanting toFable inup at me froirl I want by my side forever She’s embedded herself so co without her

It’s just that siet out of here,” I whisper in her ear and she nods once, her hair brushing against , her cheeks are flushed and all I can think is how fast can I get her ho her hand, I start to guide her off the dance floor, noticing a group of obvious sorority girls watching us as we go Fable turns and flips theue out at theet her the hell out of there before she starts a fight

“What the hell was that for?” I ask her as he walk down the back stairs and push open the door that leads out into the parking lot

“They were givingI know, you walk into the room, and they all flipped out” She s at the at ives a shit what they think?”

“Me I do I’ their panties over the fact that you show up and I loved knowing you didn’t give a shit about them You came there for me” She pulls me to her and lifts up on tiptoe so she can kiss ood”

I feel exactly the sah hers, and alk towardHow do I tell her I want her init up or would I scare the crap out of her? The last thing I want to do is put pressure on her

But I don’t want to lose Fable either

I hit the keyless re inside the truck’s cab Fable pulls her cell out of her pocket, a little gasp escaping her as she hits a button on the screen to make a call

“Where are you?” she asks the moment whoever is on the other end answers “What do you mean the place is empty?”

I watch her, see the worry and concern wash over her face, the way she white-knuckle grips the phone as she holds it to her ear My skin prickles with uncertainty and I’ to

Knohatever it is, it can’t be good

“I’ll be right there Yeah, I’ht over, okay? So don’t leave” She pauses “Ten , Owen We’ll be there” She ends the call and turns to look at me, her eyes ith fear “Owen’s at the apartment He says it’s empty”

I frown “What do you one except sos, the food in the kitchen, it’s all gone” She nibbles on her lower lip, lost in thought

“Were you guys robbed?” I could hardly wrap my head around what she said It hs, though she’s definitely not aht “I think—I think my mom did it I bet she packed up all her shit, had her loser boyfriend help her and ri lot and turn toward Fable’s place “Who the hell does that sort of thing?”

“My hs “I told you hoanted to athered up the courage to tell her yet Guess she took care of that, didn’t she?”

“But what you’re saying, it’s like she…abandoned you”
