Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 46 Crazy

I looked at James in confusion, hoping for him to elaborate further on what he just said, but he simply returned to his couch without another word.

Benjamin shifted his gaze between Dominic and I before breaking into a helpless, wry smile.

Mitch had a look of utter confusion on his face, so I knew his guess was probably as good as mine.

Dominic wheeled himself past me and headed for the door.

After taking a moment to think about it, I ran up to him and grabbed hold of the handle to his wheelchair.

 

“Where are you going?”

“Oh, now you’re coming to me?”

 

I pouted in response to his snarky remark, but I was too soft-hearted to let him roam about in his wheelchair this late at night.

“We’re going home.”

“Huh? We’re leaving already?” But we haven’t even been here for long!

“What, you haven’t had enough fun yet? I thought you had a great time earlier?”

He shut me up completely with that comment. I was tempted to say I didn’t have enough fun yet, but I didn’t dare anger him any further for fear of my own safety.

“I’ll be on my way now, Shannon! You guys have fun, all right?” I reluctantly waved her goodbye before turning toward James as I continued, “You’d better make sure to get Shannon home safe, you hear? I’ll come for you if anything happens to her!”

Being a lot more chivalrous than Dominic, James agreed to my request without any hesitation.

Upon leaving Royal Entertainment, I was about to hail us a cab when Dominic told me to head for the parking lot instead.

We stopped in front of a black car which I instantly recognized as the one Calvin used to pick him up in.

“You know, you didn’t have to make Calvin come all the way here like this. We could have just headed back in a cab or something.”
