His Salvation

All that glitters...

Kaden's POV

Hurt. That's what I was.

Hurt and fucking humiliated. How the hell could she do that to me? Well excuse me, how could HE do that to me? Now I know why it took so long to fucking meet up!!!!

I pull over to the side of the road, unable to keep driving. The tears are rushing out of my eyes like a waterfall and my whole body is shaking. I'm confused and angry and hurt and scared and...lonely.

Why the fuck am I lonely?

I'm not gay. Okay? I've never even been interested at the thought of a man. Not once. But when I walked out on him and left his embrace...that's all I feel now. Just loneliness and like some part of me is missing.

And that's what's confusing me more.

I look over and see my phone lighting up. It's been ringing nonstop since I left the cafe. Dozens of messages, voicemails, and missed calls fill up the screen. I should just block him from my life and move on....but I know I can't. Regardless of what happened, he has my heart.

And there's no denying that.

~1 hour earlier~

"Wait, so you're telling me we have the whole place to ourselves? Baby that's amazing!!! How the hell did you pull that off?"

Jenna chuckles in the phone, pleased with my reaction. Today we're really meeting, she's being true to her word. Across town there's an amazing cafe that specializes in caramel dishes called Cara-World. It's extremely busy and packed all the time. But my baby has the hook up, she's best friends with the owner and apparently they closed the store today so we could have a very private, very romantic lunch date. How amazing is that???

"I'm glad you're excited baby" she whispers and it's not hard to notice the hint of fear behind her words. I sigh.

"Baby, you know I'm excited to see you. Stop worrying okay? Today is gonna be perfect."

I tell her I love her for the millionth time before hanging up to get ready. I take a quick shower, brush and gel my hair and dress to impress. I want my girl to get wet as soon as she sees me. I smirk, knowing how easily I get her hot and bothered. So imagine in person?

I finish off my look with a few spritz of my new cologne and smile before grabbing my car keys and heading out. I lied and said I had work today when I really took the day off so nobody would bother me at home. My siblings are at school and my parents are at work so I don't need to explain why I look so nice heading out. Although coming back home will be a different story. Who gives a fuck though?

I pulled up to the cafe about 20 minutes later. I was nervous as hell and sweat was starting to drip down my forehead. But this was exciting at the same time. I was going to walk in and finally see the woman of my life.

With a deep breath, I got out the car and grabbed the roses from the passenger front seat. On the way over, I stopped by a shop and got the prettiest bouquet of flowers in the whole shop. Nothing but the best for my lady. I breath in deeply as I walk up to the front door and knocked on the glass since it was locked. A girl no older than 20 canine to the glass. She was dressed professionally in a chefs outfit, with red hair and circular golden glasses. She was pretty but nothing compared to my baby.

"I'm sorry sir but the cafe is closed for the day."

"I'm here for a date, my name is Kaden." I said and she instantly perks up.

Kaden! Come on it, your table is all set up and ready. I'm Abby, the owner and head chef and today I'll be overseeing your date. Any requests? She asks, smiling and I think before I speak slowly.
