I want to find the girls, to let them know I'm leaving with Jace, but I have no success of doing so. I decide to send them a quick text instead, because I don't want them to worry about me. We arrive at Jace's car quickly, he doesn't stop to tell everyone he knows goodbye this time, which I'm glad about. I want to leave this place as soon as possible.
Once again, we're silent on our way to his apartment. The only thing that can be heard is the radio playing softly, and me singing along with it quietly. It's a habit of mine that just comes naturally.
"You have a really nice voice, you know?" Jace says, and I stop immediately.
"What? No" I answer, feeling embarrassed right away.
"No, you really do. I thought the same thing when I heard you singing in the showers the day we met" he says, smirking at me.
"You heard me?" I say, as my cheeks turn red.
"Of course I did" he answers, and I wonder how long he was standing in front of the door that day.
I don't know what to answer, but I still appreciate his compliment. When we arrive at Jace's apartment, I notice that I'm minutes away from falling asleep. Seconds, maybe.
"Are you okay?" Jace asks me, as he notices my drowsiness.
"Yeah, I think I just need to sleep" I answer, rubbing my eyes once more before opening the car door.
We quickly make our way upstairs. Jace is tired too, and I'm obviously still drunk. He opens the door and drops his wallet and keys on his kitchen counter, before walking over to his closet to grab me another shirt to sleep in.
"Your toothbrush is still in the same spot" he says, and signals me to go into the bathroom.
He kept my toothbrush? Does that mean he didn't have another girl over this whole week? Something I don't really want to wonder about right now. I do as Jace said, and quickly do my night routine. I change into the clothes he gave me and once again fold my clothes neatly. I assume that both of us are going to sleep in the bed again, so I make my way over as Jace goes into the bathroom after me. I plop down and pull the covers over me right away. I feel like my eyes are closing on me, but they quickly open again when I hear the bathroom door open.
Jace comes in only in his boxers, just like last week. His looks can't distract me tonight. I have to keep in mind that he's a drug dealer after all, and that I still have no idea how to handle any of it. What even is this? What are we? Who knows.
I take a closer look at him. His appearance definitely screams dangerous. One might think whatever they want about Jace Evans, but he has a good heart. I think I know that now. But do you really know him, Mila? Maybe it's all an act and he's not who he seems to be. My brain doesn't want me to have peace and quiet, a thousand thoughts are running through my head.
