“Don’t be a jerk face,” I growl at him before waving to Dylan. “We’ll catch up another time.”

“I’ll be here.”

“Don’t go,” Jett pouts. “I’m enjoying the show.”

I ignore him and march out of the apartment. I hear Cash chasing after me and quicken my pace.

“Indigo!”

At his shout, I start running. I can’t believe I nearly fell into his trap again. What was I thinking?

Cash

Ichase after Indy as she rushes down the hallway and out the front door of the apartment building. She glances back at me and notices I’m catching up before increasing her pace.

I should probably let her go. But I need to apologize. I should have never said anything about our kiss to the guys. I’m an idiot. But when she said she isn’t mine, I lost it. I wanted to remind her of what we had. Of what we can have again. Because I’m not letting her go. Not this time.

“Indy!”

I shout after her and she increases her pace. I don’t know what she’s thinking. There’s no way she can outrun me. My long legs eat up the distance between us in no time.

“Indy.” I reach for her and she bats me away. I lift my hands in surrender. “Can we please talk?”

She stops and places her hands on her knees as she struggles for breath. “Talk. About. What?”

“The reason you fled Dylan’s apartment.”

“I didn’t flee,” she claims between gasps for breath.

I cock an eyebrow.

She scowls at me. “I didn’t flee.”

“You were running down the street for fun?”

She stands up straight. “Yep. You got it in one. I now run for fun.”

“You run for fun? The same girl who tried to give herself food poisoning to get out of gym class?”

“I didn’t try to give myself food poisoning.”

“You drank the spoiled milk for fun?”

“Maybe I didn’t realize the milk had gone bad.”

“The big chunks didn’t give it away?”

She fists her hands on her hips. “Why are we discussing the ancient past?”

I open my mouth to say she started it but snap it closed again when I realize how childish arguing about who started what sounds.

“Can we talk?”

“We don’t have anything to discuss.”
