Capítulo 40: Chapter 40: Fighting For Forgiveness

Alicia’s POV

After the incident with Adrian in the alleyway last night, I ended up telling John I needed to go home. He seemed confused and asked a lot of questions about what happened between me and Adrian, but I wasn’t in the right headspace to answer them. I just wanted to be alone.

Thankfully, Adrian listened to me when I said don’t follow me because when we left the bar he was nowhere to be seen, although, I could still sense his presence nearby and his strong jasmine and sandalwood scent was still in the air, consuming my senses. I may not have been able to see him, but I could feel him.

When I got home, I simply crawled into bed and stared at the ceiling until exhaustion overtook my body and forced me to sleep. I don’t know how long I was staring at the ceiling or what time it was when I eventually fell asleep, but I knew that it was late given how exhausted I feel right now.
