Second Chances

Chapter 23

I saw Riley sitting on his bed when I went out of his bathroom, he was wearing his white Mickey Mouse shirt that made me laugh and together with his jeans that was perfectly low waist that you can easily see his navel.
So hot.
I caught him staring at me when I walked through his room with only a robe covering my body. Well at least it wasn't a towel. Or else I'll be damned.

"I think its better if you let me change and just wait outside." Placing my right hand on my waists like a boss.

"Are you sending me out of my own room?" He smirked.

I nodded with a grin and stare at his gorgeous body while pointing at his door. It was hard not to blush and I'm pretty sure my face was burning red, and I know he noticed it that made him chuckle.
Damn he's too adorable.

He smiled. "As you wish, Ms. Collins." He stood up and winked at me before shutting the door behind him.

I bit my lip.

After getting dressed I decided to text Chrissy telling her that I'm fine so that she won't be freaking out and also to know if she's okay even though I know Tom will take care of her.
I still need to know that she's okay.

"Hey, are you okay? Sorry about last night." I texted.

"OMG! I've been calling you! Are you okay? Are you safe? Tom said Riley took care of you last night. Make sure he didn't do anything crazy or else, you know what will happen!" I smiled at her message knowing that she was safe.

"I'm fine, calm down. He was nice, yeah he took care of me. I'm at his house, and he will drive me home." I replied.

"Ok. I will be home early. I stayed at Tom's house last night. I have so many things to tell you. And you still owe me that explanation!"

"Okay. See yah." Damn I almost forgot that one.

I pressed send and before I placed my phone in the pocket of my jeans it started to ring. When I glanced at the front screen I saw an unknown number calling. I stared at it for a second as it continues to beep and I pressed answer after the next beat.

"Hello?" I said. Almost a whisper.

But I heard nothing. No response. The long dead silence was just the only thing that entered my ear and as I glanced at the screen again checking if its still on the line.

It was.

"Hello? Who's this?" I said again but this time my voice was loud and clear.

But then again I heard nothing. Creepy.
The long awkward silence was creepy so I pressed end and tossed my phone inside my purse not minding if that unknown number calls again.
I walked towards the room and closed the door behind me, I slowly headed downstairs and then I saw Riley curled up on his couch holding up his phone on his ear.
His voice was small, almost whispering.
And I can't understand his mumbling.
I moved slowly, barely hearing my own footsteps and walked toward him until he noticed my presence and immediately tossed his phone beside him. But I didn't seem to notice where it fell.
He stared up at me and gave me a small cold smile.
Oh boy, something is wrong.

"Hey."

"Hi, are you okay?" I asked.

He looked at me with those blue eyes. And heat flushed through me. It was like he wanted to tell me something but he was the kind of guy who has a lot of things inside that its hard to know.
Suddenly I felt his touch on my knuckles and immediately pulled me to his arms.
I was shocked at his sudden action but my body instantly responded and my heart was beating so fast, so fast that it seemed like I was running.
