Get through Senior year. That's all I needed to do then I would finally be able to get out of Oklahoma.
Head down and keep quiet. That's all I had to do and I would survive. That was my strategy.
Until I caught the attention of the wrong person.

My heart raced while I feel his gaze on me the entire time. He chose to take his glasses off and place them on the counter.
Something I was thankful for. I couldn't read him with them on and his eyes spoke many things.
I pulled open my fridge and grabbed the pitcher of water and grabbed the glass before pouring.
I placed the pitcher back in the fridge before handing the glass to Mercer. I tense the moment his inked fingers brush mine. Clearing my throat, after making sure he had a good grip on the glass cup, I pulled away swiftly.
"I'll make sure to give Jules her phone." I nod towards the counter where the phone rest flat on it's face.
One of his brows raised as a smirk played on his lips. "You kicking me out already, Red?"
I crossed my arms, giving him a pointed look. "Yes," I nod. "You shouldn't be here. Besides, I'm not allowed to have a boy over here while my dad is gone."
"A good girl you are." He teases. "But I'm not just some boy, am I?"
His voice changes, his words intense as he lifted the glass to his lips, and takes a sip of water.
"My dad won't be too happy if he sees you here. You got lucky the last time."
"I'm sure I did." He muses before finishing off the rest of the water in one gulp. My eyes couldn't help but zero in on his tatted neck, watching the way as his adam's apple moves. Was it me or was the motion very captivating?
"Unless you have another reason to be here, I suggest you leave before you get me in trouble. I have nosy neighbors and I don't know when my dad is coming back."
"I do have another reason for coming here other than Jules phone." He walks around me to place the glass in the sink.
I watch him turn on his heels and frowned when I have seen him walking into the living room. Following him, I shoved my hands in the pockets of my sweats. Mercer was quiet as he walked further in the living room before sitting down on the large sofa couch.
