Chapter 18

Ciara’s POV

“Hope we’re not disrupting anything.” I heard Alex’s voice and quickly pulled away from Brian.

I was trying to compose myself but heaven knows it’s not working. I’m sure Alex saw everything but pretended as if she didn’t.

“Hi,” I called.

“Hello,” Jake said, holding Alex by her shoulders and pulling her closer to himself.

“How are you guys doing?” Brian asked, shaking hands with Brian while Alex smiled at me.

“We’re cool. Sorry for today. Alex was really down so I had to take care of her,” Jake explained.

“No, it’s okay.”

“So how did it go?”

“It was alright,” I said smiling sheepishly.

I was thinking about everything that happened earlier before they arrived.

Alex excused herself from Jake and walked into the room with me while the guys talked about random stuff.

“So...” she trailed off after shutting the door behind her. “How did it go?”

“It was alright. How are you feeling now?” I asked.
