His Muffin

Again...

CHAPTER 20

{Amaya Rose}

'Hey muffin, I have something to take care of. I won't be able to make it. I'm so sorry.'

I stare at my phone. I am at the restaurant Xavier told me to meet him at for our date.

He said he would pick me up but I needed to go to Ash's place before this so I told him I'd meet him there.

It's been two weeks since the party and this was also the only day I was free before college starts.

'Everything okay?' I test back. I hope he is okay.

'Yeah. Someone ambushed Jen so I had to go get her.' I ignore the sting. This is serious May.

'Is she okay?' I get up and walk out of the restaurant to my car.

'Yeah. She was just a little scared so I went to pick her up.' Oh okay...

'What exactly happened?' I'm so confused.

'Someone left a threatening note on her car so she called me so I could come get her cause she thought something was wrong with her car.' Again, he could've sent someone else.

'Oh. How far away was she?' I question.

He types then stops, then types again, 'around three hours ago.'

'You couldn't tell me sooner?' THREE HOURS. I have been waiting for an hour so he could've told me a while ago.

'I forgot. I'm sorry. We'll talk when I get back okay?' The past two weeks he has been amazing. We have been having the best time and this was kind of ruining it but it is okay she was in potential danger.

I just like the message and start driving to my apartment.

I clean up a bit because I have been at Xavier's place for two weeks and my apartment looks crazy.

After that, I go back downstairs and to the closest park to just relax.

"Hey Amara," I hear a voice behind me walking up.

I turn and see Cameron, "Oh hey, and it's Amaya by the way."

"I know but I like Amara more," he laughs.

I nod and continue walking with him continuing to follow.

"So, where are you headed?" he asks.

"The park," I mumble.

He hums, "You seem down, you okay?"

"Yeah," I smile slightly.

He eyes me for a second, "You sure?"

My smile drops, "No."

"What's wrong?" he questions as we reach the park.

We settle on a bench and I cross my legs and turn to him.

"I had a date with my boyfriend today because he missed a party that he was supposed to attend with me and he wanted to make up to me," I start, "he missed it because he was with his ex-girlfriend, she was in some kind of car trouble."

He hums so I continue, "so, I was really looking forward to today and I was excited plus it had been two weeks since the party thing so everything was forgotten and good. But he missed the date today too."

"Why?" he gaps.

"The ex-girlfriend thought someone did something to her car cause some warning or something," I huff.

"That's fucked up. He could've sent someone else. Both times," he narrows his eyes.

I shrug, "I know. Also, before that I wanted him to come with me to dress shopping with me and he missed that too because he was hanging out with her."
