I didn’t have a Monday class, so I slept in the nexttraveled sowasn’t so I suffered fro and just wanted to curl up into a ball on the couch while eating comfort food

Braxton stayed with me the whole time, and while it didn’t o away, it did make it easier to handle I didn’t cry, but when it see to, he would distractlike the kitten he called me

By the tier felt like I was going to cruht of Daddy and his illness Like always, Braxton walked me to ca, Braxton walking me to class had annoyed the hell out of ht I was a little kid who needed a big, strong ht all otten used to it, and if I was honest, I’d grown to like it Now that ere together, I was all too happy to let him be his normal alpha self and hold my hand while alked to my classes

With his hand at the small of my back, we approached the counter “You want a ister our drink orders Braxton knew my favorite, and I hadn’t even had to tell him what I wanted

“Do they have any double chocolate?” I asked hopefully I felt like I’d gained a good ten pounds froed on the day before, but I didn’t even care

“There are two left,” the barista told him

“We’ll take both to go,” Braxton told him and handed over his card

I’d given up trying to pay for o In the past two years, I’d rarely had to use the cards iven me because no matter what it was or how much it cost, Braxton always paid formoney on me until he told me to just let him take care of me

When he’d turned eighteen, he’d gotten his trust fund, and while I didn’t kno ain if he didn’t want to But he still worked for Seller Security, and he and Barrick had big plans for the company when Barrick finally took over fro to become business partners, and I had faith the two of them would make a formidable duo in the world of security

While he was getting our drinks and food, I walked over to an empty table and sat to wait I didn’t check nored it for over five days, so I opened the app to see if there was anything going on with Arella or one of my many cousins I didn’t expect the on in their lives, so I just let their socialwith them

I wasn’t surprised to see the first picture in aveJordan Moreitti, who had his ar at the camera as they took a selfie on the beach

Arella wasn’t boy crazy, which I had to give her credit for Boys were the ones who got crazy over her As beautiful and talented as she was, I didn’t blame them But Jordan was older than her and, more to the point, a total player Given that o for jailbait, Arella was only going to break her heart if she thought she had a future with Mia’s best friend

Next in my feed, I saw the twins I knehich one was Lyric fro, whereas Luca’s was always full of mischief Luca eaty, his hair plastered to his skull and forehead, obviously having just finished football practice

He was on the defense; that was all I understood of his position on the team, and I really didn’t care to learn more about it But he’d been offered a full ride to soe in Texas and several in the SEC He hadn’t picked which one he was going to attend yet, but noto cause issues for him
