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

people, the best. I was lucky. Poor Sydney couldn’t catch a break with her stepdad and we all know what a piece of shit her stepbrother, Wes is...
    Justice: Well I’m gonna be blunt here. I fucking miss you. I miss you so damn much.
    My heart instantly melted at his admission. I was like a puddle of goo, he made me feel so good. I missed him too. I missed Sydney and Damien and especially the baby. I wasn’t quite sure how I would handle being around the baby right now. I didn’t know if Lucy would be a constant reminder of the baby I lost. There were just so many “what if’s.” I knew here was where I needed to be right now and that I had made the right decision.
    Me: There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss you too. I miss your smile and the way you try and boss me around. I especially miss when you growl. Cracks me up.
    Yes, the growl was pretty damn funny. He did it often if he wasn’t getting his way. It was like his trademark and what made him unique. I couldn’t believe that I had just admitted to him that I missed him. That was pretty daring. But I wanted to be honest with him. I didn’t believe in being dishonest. Well, except for my threesome, but I ended up telling Jensen. It was just aif we were never going to be anything more than friends, which I still didn’t know about, then I needed to tell him the truth always and to share my feelings with him. My parents always raised me to believe that honesty was the best policy.
    Justice: Let me come see you? Let me remind you why we are so good together.
    Me: As tempting as that is I just can’t. I made a decision to be here and I’m leaving Vegas behind.
    I was in no condition to see him right now. I didn’t want him to see the person I was right now. He knew me as strong and confident, not this weak person I had turned into over the last couple of weeks. Plus, if he came for me it would melt my resolve. He always knew just how to get to me.
    Justice: If you know me. And I think you do. You know I’m not going to give up. Not today, not tomorrow, and not next week. I will wait for you to come back to me. Hell, if you want to stay in Detroit, I’ll apply to the force there and move my life to be with you. I would have to get things figured out with Camden but that is how much I want to be with you. Baby, just please. Please consider my words.
    His words really hit me. I got butterflies in my stomach and a smile actually graced my face. It has been over two weeks since I had smiled. I knew he wouldn’t give up on me and maybe I didn’t want him to. No, I didn’t want him to. But I felt badly stringing him along. I just didn’t know when I would be ready, if ever.
    Me: I can’t ask that of you. I know you don’t want to be away from Camden and I don’t want you to. Just be patient with me and give me some time. I want you to know that you actually just made me smile today. It has been the first one in a long time. Knowing you won’t give up on me means a lot to me.
    Justice: I’ll never give up on you. We have so many good times ahead of us. I just know we do. I have no doubt in my mind that I could have you smiling daily and that would be because I put it there.
    He was just so stinking sweet. I believed him whole heartedly, but it just wasn’t time yet.
    Me: Just be patient with me. Miss you got to go.
    I couldn’t talk to him any longer. He was breaking down my walls brick by brick. I knew that if I had talked to him much longer I would be packing my bags and taking the first plane out to Vegas. I needed time to heal. To find myself again. Most of all, I needed to get my grubby ass up and take a shower.
    I hopped off the bed and padded across the room in my bare feet. I did a quick sniff test. Yeah, I reeked like b.o., it was really foul. I really needed to get my shit together and soon before I lost the people I cared about most in my life.
    As I was approaching the door there was a knock and then it slightly opened. My mom
