I don’t have to work today Still, if I don’t check in withaliens have abductedMoo from zero to panic at the drop of a hat

I work as a dispatcher at the police department in Cherry Falls It’s a decent job, and I like the structure in it I work Monday through Friday and I’ve been there long enough that I’ht hours are for the birds

I decide to shower and get dressed It would feel weird staying in Linc’s aparto by the Reef and casually order a drink froht? I mean, Linc is the one that told me he wanted more time with me

“One night is not going to be enough, Jodie girl I want more”

Just the et out of bed, when I hear the doorknob rattle I watch as it turns and s My body heats as I think about having him back in bed with me

This is not irl I don’t do hookups or cli to hiht There’s just sonetic pull with Linc that makes me want more

“Hi—” the word dies on ue A lot dies in that moment

“Oh, sorry Linc told ht I guess you’re why he was busy last night”

My eyes go round, this sick feeling hits my stomach Bella Carver She’s new in Cherry Falls, a transplant from out west She has curves for days, sun-kissed blonde hair with perfect lips and boobs that make my B-cup look sad as hell She’s every picture of beauty that I wished I could have been in high school, and she was probably the head cheerleader and popular as hell wherever she attended

My complete opposite

“I…uh…” Crap Shock and this sick feeling that hits you in your gut when a light froht letters across your forehead areit impossible to form words

“Lucky girl Linc is ales as if it’s perfectly nor I didn’t mean to eave me the key to his apartment, or I would have been more delicate”

“I…I was just about to leave,” I tell her, and she nods

“It’s probably for the best if you want hiy Oh there it is!” she cries, as if she hadn’t just released a boht yellow bikini
