Let's get the hell out of here. Debora came back to us and Dwayne put his hand on my back and gently stroked it.

'My brother's an idiot!' Debby gave me a sympathetic look. I looked beside me at Dwayne, who looked slightly angry.

"Can we go now, please? ...let's just take a taxi, please! ...I just want to go home!' He wanted to say goodbye to Debby, but I went downstairs and out into the night. Jamal was still standing in his spot, right in front of the club door.

"Hey kid, are you alright?" I looked at him really desperately and walked over to him.

"Can you get us a cab?" He gave me a charming grin and patted my shoulder.

"Two are standing in front, come with me, I'll take you there for a moment..." I followed him through the darkness to the main street. He held the door open for me and told the taxi driver that he still had to wait for someone. Before I could get in, he gave me a loving smile. "I see when sad looks like that are men's fault...well what can I say...men can suck!" I nodded at him and found his attempt at picking myself up really cute.

"Yes, that's right! ...Please send Dwayne to me quickly when he comes out. I'll get in! ...Thank you Jamal!' He closed the door for me as I got in.

So there I sat. Once again completely confused about everything . I had no idea who that woman was that was so charming to Jayden. But no matter who she was, what she had said was like a punch in the pit of the stomach. No, much worse. We really had a wonderful evening together and I didn't have time to process it all, but I knew there was something special between Jayden and me. But maybe I was just wrong about him. It was probably just some scam and I would have been one of many? It doesn't matter, it was only this one evening and it was absolutely ridiculous that somewhere deep inside I was hoping for more. He's a fucking rock star! What does he want with me? He would be really stupid to take one like me! What was I thinking? Nothing, Josephine, as so often before. Where is Dwayne, I finally want to go to my bed. Damn first night. I could just go back to Australia!!

My gaze went out the window. Then Dwayne came out with Debby, gave her a hug and Jamal pointed to the taxi I was already in. He walked around the car and got in next to me. Dwayne was talking to the driver and my eyes went back to Debby. Before we left, I spotted Jayden storming out. Debby punched him in the chest and said something to him with a glare. He spotted us in that cab and ran toward it. My heart stopped, I didn't want to see him now to have to hear about this woman or anything else. I was all the more relieved when we finally drove off before Jayden could reach the taxi.

My gaze went to Dwayne who was holding my hand.

"I hope I didn't ruin your evening with Debby by suddenly leaving!" He stroked my hand.

"No, don't think like that! She's mad at Jayden herself for stooping to such a level! I hope it didn't hit you so badly what you noticed at the end?! This chick was just some dumb bitch! Jayden is stupid if he doesn't want you!"

"And what if maybe I'm just stupid ? After all, he's famous and can have anyone. I think it was just some trick he did and it almost worked. I bought it from him! Dwayne, I don't even really know him. It's better I know what kind of guy he is before he uses me like others have and I become some groupie trophy!” Dwayne shook his head.

"No, no, Joey! Do you remember how you told me today that you can see from my look how much I like Debby? ...You should have seen your looks. the way he looked at you I immediately remembered what you said to me as I look at Debby! That's what I thought about Jayden and you! Even Debby said she doesn't really know Jayden. He never got involved with girls in the slightest...until he met you today! I have no idea what happened on your ferris wheel, but he really likes you. Every blind person can see that!! ...and hey, the way you look at him... I won't go into that now!..."

How I missed my bed. The night was almost over and I clearly needed sleep. Finally time to sort my thoughts . I snuggled into my bed, texted Dwayne saying I was glad to have him as a friend and thanked him for paying for the cab. My phone vibrated before I put it down.

I'm really crazy about YOU!

Can I make this up to you?

I just have to think about you!

jayden

How did he get my number? What the hell does he want from me? Actually, I already agreed to delete him from my life and after that day very quickly! I immediately realized that if Jayden wanted my number, he would get it. He just had to work on Debby and she just had to ask Dwayne about it and he in turn would do anything for Debby. umm-umm

So mad that I gaaar

got no answer?

I put my phone away. It certainly wasn't good to answer. Tomm-tomm.

I'm an ass!

I'm sorry!!! For real!

Please write something.

What?

I like you... very much!

I'm sorry I would have you

gladly brought home....

Taxi was the better alternative!

Ouch! josephine connor,

It breaks my heart like that

to read!

I need to see you again!

I have to sleep.

Good night.

See you soon?

Maybe!

Please!

Sleep well and have nice dreams ♥♥

I put my phone away. It took me a while to fall asleep, I just had to think about everything again.

My whole body tingled at the thought of him, but it wasn't right. I had to distance myself first. He just managed to bring me to the highest level of my feelings in one evening and destroy everything again in one fell swoop, multiple times within a few hours and not just once.
