Chapter Twenty-Nine

Chloe

“Hey, Eli.” I smiled as I walked into the kitchen.

“Hello, Chloe. I was happy to get Sebastian’s call about driving you home. I take it the two of you are?—”

“Oh yeah.” I bit down on my bottom lip and smiled. “We certainly are.”

He chuckled. “Where is he?”

“In the shower. He told me everything last night.”

“Good. I’m glad to hear that.”

“Glad to hear what?” Sebastian asked as he walked into the kitchen.

“Just that the two of you are together,” Eli replied.

Sebastian placed his hands on my hips.

“Eli is going to drive you home, and then I’ll be by later to pick you up for your parents’ party. I have an errand to run.”

“What kind of errand? I can go with you?”

“No, no. You’d be bored. I’ll see you later.” He kissed my lips and walked out.

“Huh. What’s he up to?” I narrowed my eyes at Eli.

He shrugged. “I have no idea, but I wouldn’t question him. Are you ready to go?”

Stepping inside my apartment, I set down my purse and took a shower to start getting ready for the party. I was a little worried about what Sebastian would think of my parents’ friends. This wasn’t the type of party he was used to attending. There would be no fancy dresses, beautiful lighting, expensive champagne, fine food, or expensive table linens. They were just a bunch of rowdy people who liked to party barefoot, listen to folk music, drink the cheapest beer money could buy, and smoke a little weed.

I had just finished putting on my makeup and styling my hair when a text message from Sebastian came through.

“I’m downstairs. Buzz me in.”

My heart fluttered. I already missed him even though it had only been a few hours. He whistled as he walked up the stairs when he saw me standing at the door.

“You look so sexy.” He smiled as he kissed me.

“Mhm. So do you.” I wrapped my arms around him. “Come on in. Did you get your errand done?” I asked as I headed to the bedroom.

“I sure did.” He followed behind. “I have something for you.”

“For me?” I smiled. “Why?”

“Happy belated birthday, baby.” He handed me a small blue square box from Tiffany’s.

“Sebastian.” I pouted. “You didn’t have to get me anything.”

“Yes, I did. Now, don’t argue. Open it.”

I untied the pretty blue bow and carefully removed the lid.

“Oh, Sebastian.” Tears started to form in my eyes as I looked at the beautiful 18kt rose gold bracelet with a heart charm that displayed the letter “C” in diamonds. “This is gorgeous.” I took it out of the box and held it up.

“Do you really like it?”
