Yeah, my life is full of stress. Now even more so.
Hadley, Hadley, Hadley. She’s stuck in my mind. I want to help her get her sisters back, yet I’m not sure how I’m going to do that, or how I’ll balance helping everyone out. I barely have time as it is. But something about Hadley feels oddly familiar, and not just because she reminds me of myself. I’m unsure where the familiarity comes from.
The first day I saw her, I knew she was different from other girls. Hot as hell, for sure, and her toughness turns me on, even if that makes me fucking twisted. And that kiss … it was hands down the best fucking kiss I’ve ever had. Well, up until she kicked me in the dick. That part sucked big time.
I guess I sort of deserved it in a way, for being an ass to her when I first met her. But I was trying to protect Alex. Well, that and I suck at flirting. Rhyland’s always giving me shit about having no game. He’s right, but I spent most of my teenage years trying to be a parent. Even before I got guardianship, I took care of my brothers and my sister.
“You okay?” Rhyland asks as he wanders into the living room.
I nod, stretching out on the sofa. “Just trying to sleep.”
He plops down on the chair across from me. “You could’ve put Hadley in my room. I didn’t mind. And I’m the one who told her she could stay with us.”
I yawn. “My room’s cleaner.”
“True.” He slumps back in the chair and grows quiet for a second. “You know, it’s weird, but I swear Hadley seems familiar.”
I turn on my side to look at him. “Who does?”
“Hadley.” He shrugs, while I pull my brows together. “I don’t know why, but it feels like I’ve met her before.”
“Yeah, it’s weird you said that, because I’ve thought that too,” I mumble.
“Really?” he asks, and I nod. “That’s kind of weird.”
“I’m sure we’re just being weird,” I say. Still, I can’t shake the feeling that maybe he’s right. Perhaps we have met Hadley before. But when?
I guess it doesn’t really matter right now. All that does is getting Alex help, keeping my siblings out of trouble, and helping Hadley get her sisters back. I just hope I can handle everything.
