LOVING THE BAD BOY II

Chapter 17 Drunk

DANNY

It's been a full two weeks without Kate at the house as I grew to feel alone and cold hearted. I haven't been sleeping or keeping much in my stomach as I didn't feel like my normal self. Cayden was entire world and not seeing him everyday was sucking the life out of me. I never felt pain like this before as my stomach stayed with a knot deep inside me this shit wasn't cool. I started to feel hopeless as I spent the nights crying like a coward when I should be trying to keep it together over a female. But Kate wasn't just any other female to me she was always more than that she became my heart, if I couldn't have her I felt like I couldn't live to function normally right now.

"Joining us tonight?" Tracy peeked in my office asking as I opened my eyes immediately removing my hand from my cheek half asleep. "Huh" I asked blinking a few times exhaling deeply sitting back stretching. "Cayden?" She scoffed questioning my sleep. "Ah um nah just redoing some shit at home" I cleared my throat tapping the tip of my pen down on my desk a few times coming up with a excuse.

"Been up all night trying to finish" I scoffed gulping cracking a fake half smile. "Like?" She asked pressing her lips together. "Ah um" I closed my eyes trying to think of a excuse coming to a snap with my fingers. "Counters" I raised my eyebrows as she nodded up slowly holding some paperwork in her arms.

Really? Counters? Whatever I didn't feel like opening up.

"Need some help?" She laughed a little tilting her head as my mouth opened but nothing came out. I peeped her flirtatious facial expression of biting her lip as she did have a nice smile. "Ah nah" I slowly answered rubbing my fingers against my eyebrow hesitant closing my eyes taking a deep breath. "What do you have a secret construction talent or some shit" I sarcastically said squeezing my eyes together with my fingers. "Nope" She said as I raised a brow looking at her. "I use to help my dad do a lot of rebuilding around the house" She answered as I felt like being a dick.

"Did you do counters before?" I raised a brow as she nodded I nodded back testing her. "Would you suggest measuring and just get straight to laminating or?" I shut one eye knowing the answer. "Actually you might wanna create a template first to make sure your measurements are accurate" She scoffed as I raised me eyebrows impressed, shit good answer least she isn't as ditzy as she looked.

"Ah right" I scoffed getting up from my desk as I yawned with my fist to my mouth. "So are you coming?" She asked. "I should probably head home I gotta grab my son in the morning" I mumbled crossing my arms making up another excuse. "Don't gotta stay out late?" She suggested as I scoffed not interested in the slightest. "You promised coffee" She raised her pointer finger. "Substitute it for a beer" She laughed a little as I rolled my eyes looking down at my phone seeing no replies from Kate as I took a deep breath. "Alright I'll go just for a lil" I gave in zipping up my hoodie grabbing my keys as she smiled walking out my office, I followed her to the parking garage.

Shit I guess a drink or two about now is what I kinda need.

"Wanna take just take your car?" She asked as I stopped in the parking garbage staring at her. "You can just drop me off? I live down the street that way I don't have to fight for my spot in the morning" She laughed as I looked at her head to toe coming to a small shrug. "Ah cool sure" I blinked a few times unlocking my car getting in as nothing about this felt right.

"Nice car" She said getting in as she began changing instantly taking her shirt off as I inhaled deeply off guard turning my head. "My bad" I mumbled realizing how bold she was as I blinked a few times out the window. "I had a shirt on underneath" She laughed a little as I lifted my fingers off my steering wheel slowly figuring out what to say.
"What are you a Virgin?" She scoffed sitting back putting her seatbelt on as I glared at her from the corner of my eye with a straight face at her joke. "Kidding" She laughed as I shook my head pulling off quickly ready for the night to be over with already. She can most certainly without a doubt be annoying and unpredictable at the same time this chick was something else.
