Tell Me... (Book 3 in the Can't Say series.)

Chapter 16

Kevin's POV:

We've done it. All we have to do is pack and we'll be on our way. The current plan we have is a draft at the moment but when we get to the Sahara, we'll finalize it. I was packing for 30 minutes when I came across a picture frame. Avi and I. First date. It took, so long to even take him on a date, he was scared of going back into the dating scene after Daniel. Took 2 months to convince him to go out with me.

We were at a drive-in movie theatre the back of my dad's brand new pickup truck. We camped out in the back of it at the end of the night in our backyard, he told me it was the best date he had ever been on.

I remembered that night. One of the best decisions I had ever made, probably the best one I ever made.

Those were the moments we didn't have a worry in our relationship. The early days. The days I wish we could go back to. Before Daniel came back into his life and messed around with it and his happiness. Our happiness.

I think I've been day-dreaming for too long or something cause it looks like it's been at least 6 hours and it's dark outside. I've barely finished packing and we're supposed to be taking off tomorrow and I have to pack for two days. Great, now I'm running around looking for everything. At least it's all organized.

2 more hours pass and I'm finally done. Toiletries and toiletry bag in the bathroom, one outfit out and suitcase nearly completely packed. Apart from the toiletry bag in the bathroom but I'll do that in the morning. I had flopped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. Thoughts circulated my head. What if he's not there? What if Scott's not there? What if... they're... they're both dead? What if he kills them as soon as he notices us coming? No. I can't think like that. They must be there and they must be alive. Daniel wouldn't kill Avi, he needs him... but... he wouldn't hesitate to shoot Scott between the eyes. He meant to kidnap Avi. Scott was just the unlucky one who got mixed up in all of this.

Man am I tired. I can practically feel the sleep ganging up on me. My last thought before it did was of Avi. The little guy I fell in love with all those years ago.

I'm coming for you, baby. I'm gonna get you back, I promise.
