I Fell For The Boy His Daddy Was A Bonus

Chapter 6: Scarlett Barnes 

Scarlett’s heart was galloping profoundly. Her breaths were heavy against Kalet‘s frame, and the fluttering feeling in her stomach was going wild. She might have escaped from Luca that evening, but she may very well get a heart attack from this strange excitement she was riding out 

As the tip of her nose brushed against Kaleb‘s inviting neck, she took a good whiff of his spicy cologne, and that further added to the static that ran through her body, 

“God, I feel so hot,’ she thought silently. ‘How long have I been in his hold? How long did it take for them o leave this hallway? Seriously!’

She sucked in a breath and use everything in her willpower to free herself from what it felt like a spell, binding her toward Kaleb. Faintly, she managed to find the words to say, “They should be gone by now It’s already been what? Five minutes?” 

It was as if she heard the man groan, but Kaleb quickly coughed, pulling away. He responded, “Yes, they are gone now. Damn, who walks that slow? That woman must have the wrong shoe size on.”

Scarlett was chasing her breath, her back leaning flat against the wall. With her face still burning, she answered, “Perhaps.”

There was an awkward silence between them while both appeared to be fixing their clothes. When Scarlett was about ready to leave, Kaleb suggested, “If you need any help hiding next time, don’t forget to … give me a call. You have my number.” 

Scarlett, “...” 

“This is the place,” Scarlett said, her eyes landing on an old apartment building where she lived. She turned to Kaleb with a smile and said, “Thank you for taking me home, Mister – I mean, Kaleb.” 

“Of course. I owe you for coming with me and Liam to his doctor‘s appointment,“ Kaleb acknowledged, his athletic face peering at Scarlett‘s frame. “Driving you home does not even cover for when you returned Liam to me. I owe you so much –” 

“Oh, please. Don‘t think much about it,” Scarlett assured him. “In fact, spending time with Liam was very entertaining.”
