I nodded, as I walked over to my bed. I didn’t want anymore discussions. I wanted peace, and hopefully, I will get what I was looking for because this was actually getting too much now. “Well, you really look uptight. Did you have a good date?” Chloe asked innocently. My jaw dropped in shock. Oh, my God! Ian! I had not called him since last night. What must he think of me! I grabbed my phone, ignoring Chloe’s words, as I ran as fast as I could to the gate.
