“You’re residence now, Cass. Talking of that, I hope it’s not too ahead of me, however I wish to see you.”

“What do you imply?” Her tone is cautious. I’d prefer to suppose it was as a result of she had the identical mindset as I did, however I need her to grasp that I need her in my life.

Completely.

Clearing my throat, I reply, “Date you, Cassidy. I believe we’ve acquired a very good basis from our previous that we are able to construct on. I’m nothing like him…”

She interrupts me earlier than I can end. “You’re correct with that assertion, Jared. You don’t suppose it’s bizarre, although? I imply, I dated your brother. What is going to individuals suppose?”

Personally, I don’t give a flying fuck what anybody thinks, however in the case of our hometown, I do know that Cassidy has confronted greater than her justifiable share of bullying, so her cautious nature is comprehensible.

“They’re going to suppose what they wish to suppose, Cass. Don’t you keep in mind what my mother used to inform us?”

“What different individuals suppose is none of what you are promoting, Cassidy Smith,” she says, mimicking my mom so completely that I snigger.

“Precisely.”

“Gained’t it’s awkward since he’s residence now?” she questions.

“Not for me and hopefully, not for you. Except you’re hoping to rekindle one thing?”

“Are you kidding me? No fucking manner, Jared.”

She’s so vehement in her response that I’m momentarily surprised silly.

“Cass, you by no means swear.”

“Nicely, I do when the state of affairs calls for it,” she replies. “Can we not speak about your brother? At the least I wasn’t silly.”

Her final assertion is claimed so quietly that I do know instantly that regardless of what Cade intimated, she didn’t have intercourse with him. The bastard! He’s a part of the explanation her status took such successful; individuals thought she was placing out, when truly, Cade was sleeping with others. Rattling, I detest him.

“You’ve by no means been silly, Cassidy. Or gullible, or naive, or any of that shit,” I state. “So, are you keen to provide you and me an opportunity?” I’m holding my breath now and praying she places me out of my distress.

“Provided that you’re positive, Jared. I don’t wish to trigger any issues between y’all or something.”

“There gained’t be any issues, Cass,” I promise, giving her hand a squeeze.

I pull into McGee’s and park earlier than I get out and assist her out of the truck. As a result of I need the contact, I lace our fingers collectively once more. She matches completely in opposition to me.

“You continue to like your tea so candy it causes a toothache?” she questions, grinning up at me.

“You continue to like so as to add lemon to your Coke?” I counter.

“Completely! Solely approach to drink it’s over crushed ice with plenty of lemon,” she replies, guffawing.

“Let’s go see if we are able to get a few of these nachos,” I state, opening the door and ushering her inside.

We’ve laughed a lot my sides harm and I really feel as if we’re off to a very good begin. “So, what’s your schedule like the remainder of the week?” I ask as we drive again to her home.

“I’m off tomorrow and Saturday,” she replies.

“I’ve acquired courtroom within the morning however am free after that. Need to go do one thing?” I ask.

“I’d like that.”

“Cassidy, within the curiosity of full disclosure, I must inform you one thing.”
