Bad Intentions

Twenty-Six

Leah

You know those moments where you just want to just close your eyes and hope you become invisible? Yeah this was one of those moments.

After that dramatic confession from Nate, I just wanted to disappear into my room and be left alone to my thoughts, but the universe had different plans.

Those being Jace Emerson.

I furrowed my eyebrows towards Jace as I looked at him through my car window.

After disappearing for days with no communication what so ever, he appears in front me.

What was he doing here?

I guess we'll have to find out.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him as I exited the car. He was dressed in a black sweatshirt and medium washed jeans. His dark hair was in its normal sexy slightly tousled look. He had his arms folded across his chest, which enhance his muscles even more.

Not the time to be checking him out, Leah.

"Didn't you miss me?" Jace asked teasingly.

"Hardly." I answered.

"Really? Your many messages and calls say differently." He retorted with a small smirk on his lips.

I couldn't help the small smile that found its way to my lips. I missed our constant back and forth.

"I hate you, you know that." I told him.

"No, you love me. You just don't want to admit it." He argued back playfully.

Love?

Ha.

I shook my head at him. "Go home, Jace."

"Aw and here I thought you were worried about me." He said fake pouting.

"Well if you're here bickering with me, I think you're perfectly fine." I told him as I walked towards my front door.

He grabbed my hand and I turned around to look at him. Worry was etched across his face.

"Nothing strange has happened, right?" He asked with concern.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing weird or out of the ordinary?"

"Jace, what are you talking about?" I pressed.

"I guess not, then." He said as he released my hand.

I took a step closer and placed my hand under his chin turning his head to the side. "The bruise is almost healed." I told him examining his cheek.

"I heal pretty quickly. I mean I have pretty amazing genes."

"Way to find a way to compliment yourself." I patted his cheek softly which caused him to hiss in pain slightly. "Yeah, not that great."

"Why are you out so late?" Jace asked.

I glanced at my phone to look at the time. 9:45pm.
