My heart just went wild on my chest as it beats faster but I try to calm myself down after realizing that Nick was the one who I called and not Aries. Goodness, Aries and Nick are totally different person Savannah. And letters A and N are far from the alphabet. How in hell did you end up calling Nick?I take a deep breath in and closed my eyes. Relax. You'll find a way out to this. Just take it easy."Savannah.. Is there something wrong?" He asked softly.I hurriedly ended the call. I'm too ashamed to talk to him right now and I didn't want him to hear me crying. What if he's with Dakota right now that's why he's talking softly?I gazed at my watch, it's already eleven in the evening here in London. It's probably six in the evening there in New York. I wiped my tears away and walked to the bed. I sat down
