Replying back to Riccardo's message, | suggested a tin a few hours and asked a place we could speak in
private. My phone vibrated in my hand just second after | had hit send. We can meet at one of our places or in
the meeting room at Pleasure Palace. It is entirely up to
you."
Deciding that going to one of their homes would be too private, | agreed to meet at the club.
"So?" Andy asked.
"I am meeting them tonight." | said and he picked up on my lack of enthusiasm and reached out to squeeze my
hand.
"Are you sure you want to go back to your apartment today?" His brows knotted in apparent
worry.
"We could have a movie night after you have met up with them and | will get lots of ice cream and a bottle of
red. What do you say?" Shaking my head, | smile at him sincerely. Albeit stiffly, | didn't feel like smiling.
"| appreciate it but | will be fine. | think it will be good forto be alone and sort out my head."
"Okay, but promise to callif you need me."
"I will," I agreed.
"I know we don't know each other that well yet." James began.
"But, | am here too. You mean a lot to Andy and he means a lot to me. Lam...eh...what | am trying

to say is that | care | will be here if you need anything." He looked slightly embarrassed and perhaps scared |
would blow off his offer.
"Thank you, James. | will keep that in mind."
| had already gotten his number from when he went out to buy us snacks for the movie night we had together
and he had wanted to make sure he got my favorite brand of ice cream. It was when Andy sent him over to
ensure | wasn't wallowing in self-pity while he was at work. Still, we ended 1/4 Chapter 159: They Had Been Kind

up watching the sa***st romance movies ever made instead with ice cream which was the epitof wallowing.
Moving my attention to my plate, | forced myself to eat. Andy was a good cook, although not as great as
Kingston but this tit all tasted like cardboard which | knew had more to do withand my current state
than the food itself.
Andy and James tried to lift my mood as they kept talking throughout dinner. They told jokes that fell flat but |
still managed to laugh. If they could tell it was forced, they didn't comment on it but even while | wasn't in the
best of moods, | listened and gave answers when needed. If only for a little while, they helpedget my mind
off everything else. When it was tto leave, James stayed behind while Andy put on his shoes and walked the
few blocks it took to get to my building and followedup to my apartment.
"Thank you for putting up with my shit these past days." | murmured into his chest as | hugged
him goodbye.
"Girly, your shit stinks but | will still wipe your a** if you ever needto." He joked. | chuckled, swatting his
chest as | pulled from his embrace.
"Way to ruin our heartfelt moment, Andy.
"Really? Was this a heartfelt moment? | didn't notice." He had that teasing glint in his eyes that |
loved.
"Well, not anymore. It is not." | quipped
"Now get your a** out of here and have squality twith your boyfriend withoutcramping your style."
And
had never cramp up anything. Good luck with the talk." He said the last part all tically before he spun
around and started walking down the stairs. remember, | am only a phone call away." He said from his shoulder.
"I know,"
| waited until he was out of view before letting the mask drop. It was exhausting to pretend that | was okay when
| was so obviously not. Unlocking my door, | took a hesitant step inside. Coming door open

When | was satisfied that | was alone, | quickly shut the door and locked it. | locked the door bolt in place

was strange being back at my place after everything that had happened, my eyes went to the spot on the ceiling
where | once had a hole that leaked. My money was on Riccardo, seeing as the temperature fluctuations were
also fixed. He was the only one who knew about that and | never thanked him for it. They made one major
mistake and it had been so big that | hadn't been able to do the same, the tiny kindness they had done towards
them. They had fixed my ceiling and my water tank, they had liftedup with their praise and madefeel

every day exciting. And | realized just a little too late, like the dumb fool | was, that they didn't just take care of
me, they cared for me. Those little tells that should have tippedoff but | had been too blind to see in my

Riccardo showedhis vulnerable side by opening up about his childhood, it had been a difficult topic for him
to talk about. However, he had still done it just so | could get to know him better. My eyes burned as | forced my
gaze from the ceiling, this wasn't tfor regret. Checking the the clock, I | saw that it it was too early yet to get
ready. | should have probably started on the assignment from school and read through the notes u had gotten
from my classmates but | wasn't feeling it. | could hardly concentrate as it was, how could | possibly focus on
economics? My studies were something | usually excelled at, | was a good student, submitted any work before
the deadline and was attentive in my classes. | love my major and worked hard to get good grades and now,

my bed, staring blankly ahead ofand heaved a sigh. | had spent days feeling shitty and now, | had to feel
scared too? | couldn't quite comprehend how so much had changed in a few moments, it was surreal and |

thoughts when my phone rang. My heart stopped as | reached for it afraid to see an unknown number and it only
started beating again when | saw it was Marshall calling. "Hello?" My voice sounded unused and hoarse.
Only then did | recognize the stingy feeling around my eyes and the traces of wetness on my cheeks. | hadn't

"Hi, baby girl. | am outside." | blinked and then blinked again.
"Huh?"
"I am picking you up for our meeting."
"0..oh," | stuttered, | had forgotten the time.
"You don't have to do that, | could have just met you guys at the club." | said, getting up from the
bed.
| got to the bathroom and took a quick look in the mirror, my eyes were red and swollen and my nose matched
the redness of my eyes. It looks like | had been crying for far longer than | could have guessed.
