Captivated by Your Love (The Blue Heart Series Book 2) by Kennedy Kelly

sweet. But I craved hearing from him. I had grown used to the daily texting. He was so sweet and he had been giving me the patience that I had asked him for. Although, I didn’t know how much longer he would wait.
    I had been contemplating going back to Vegas. I was just so concerned about Jensen and what he might try to do to me again. I assumed he would also find me here if he was that determined. Wes had found Sydney in Vegas and that didn’t turn out pretty. So maybe I wasn’t safe anywhere I went. I just felt better being in my parents’ home. They were like a security blanket that was wrapped around me tightly. It was so nice being with them. Although I stayed in my room alone, I still enjoyed the time I had spent with them. They had continued to give me the space I needed. My mom would come give me daily pep talks but otherwise they left me to my own accord. It was nice.
    My phone chimed and I quickly swiped the screen to see who it was. My heart sank when I realized it was Sydney. I loved my girl but who I really wanted to hear from was Justice.
    Sydney: Hey girl what’s shaking?
    Me: Just got back from the therapist.
    I had told Sydney about seeing a therapist. Telling her everything that happened in my life was a reassuring balm to my soul. It made me feel better. I guess it made it feel validated. It was hard to explain. I wasn’t sure when I was going to tell Justice or if I even would. I didn’t want him to think I had some sort of mental illness. He was caring so I knew he would understand, but I didn’t want him to think less of me or that I couldn’t handle things on my own. And obviously I couldn’t handle things on my own, hence the medication.
    Sydney: That’s wonderful. Do you feel like she is helping you at all?
    Me: Yes
    Sydney: Awesome. I’m so happy you reached out to someone. What you went through is never easy. Sometimes you need a second set of ears. A person who can give advice that doesn’t know you.
    She was absolutely right. Getting advice from a stranger put me in my place so to speak. They weren’t swayed by any outside factors. It was also nice to have someone that would just listen to me. In our first meeting I think I drove her nuts because I barely shut up. This time around she did a lot of talking, which was really helpful.
    Me: So how are you and my baby?
    It was weird calling Lucy my baby especially after what I had been through. But she was my baby through and through. I loved that little girl and I missed seeing those chubby cheeks. She was absolutely precious and was a really good baby. Syd and Damien had lucked out for sure.
    Sydney: She’s doing good. She misses her aunt Bee.
    I got an alert that I had another new message was coming in and my spirits lifted. I hoped that it was Justice.
    Although it wasn’t Justice, I got a little excited because it was someone I missed so much.
    Spencer.
    My Spencer.
    Spencer: Were you not going to tell me you were back? I’ve missed the hell out of you.
    I flipped back to Sydney.
    Me: Syd did you tell Spencer I was back in Detroit.
    Sydney: Well... umm. Yeah.
    Me: I didn’t want anyone to know I was here. I was keeping it on the down low.
    Sydney: Right. It would be good for you to see him while you are there.
    What did she mean see him while I was here? She made it sound like I was coming back to Vegas. At this point I was staying in Detroit. I missed Vegas and especially my friends and of course Justice, but I didn’t feel like I could go back at this moment. I huffed out breath.
    “Gah.”
    I flipped over to Spencer.
    Me: Sorry Spence I just hadn’t told anyone yet. How are you? I’ve missed you as well.
    I had missed Spencer; we were really close, extremely close. Before I had left to go to Vegas we had spent all of our time together. Wherever I went he was always there.
    Spencer: Hope you are home because I’m on my way over.
    Me: Babe, I don’t think that is a good idea right now. I’m just not up for company.
    Damn
