Chapter 339

“Are you home yet?” Neil asked me as soon as I picked up the phone.

“Just got home. What’s up?” I asked back, a little confused, but I knew deep down that Neil just wanted to see me.

The living room was quiet, and Neil’s voice coming from the other end of the phone sounded incredibly charming, “I miss you. I want to

come over.”

Even though I had been trying to stay rational, I had been stuck in a rut, struggling now and then. Neil and I were getting closer, and there was nothing hidden between us.

My heart started beating faster when Neil said that. I felt the excitement of our first meeting; a little bit of attention from him would make me incredibly happy.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, “Forget it. It’s too late. I’m going to take a bath and go to bed.”

Neil paused, “Come see me first, then you can take your bath. Anything you want to talk about?”

Actually, there was something I wanted to tell him about what happened tonight; I wanted to hear Neil’s opinion.
