I have been hit by an emotional truck. I have no idea what just happened. We were both so happy living here. I thought we were falling in love. That's what it felt like. We acted like an average couple.

I sigh and run my hands through my hair. I need to think of what to do. Can this situation be fixed? How can I do that? I don't want to lose Mylah.

I'm staring off into space, trying to concentrate when something moves next to me. I see it out of the corner of my eye, and it startles me. It's, Huggie, the boa constrictor slithering slowly by me. I stop being shocked and start to laugh. Mylah forgot the snake, or I guess she couldn't find him. Huggie hisses as I pet him. I feel a little better now and can think clearly, so I come up with a plan.

Once Mylah has calmed down, she will realize the snake is missing. So I will just return him to her clinic Tomorrow morning, so she doesn't worry. Maybe while I am there, I can convince her to talk to me so we can fix this misunderstanding between us.

Chapter Seventeen - Kyst

I wake up early the following day but take my time showering and getting dressed. Of course, I want to look my best when I see Mylah. It's a sunny morning, so that makes me a little hopeful and puts me in a good mood. I really think that things will work out for the best between Mylah and me. Hopefully, I'll be bringing her back here with me tonight. That's what I want, after all.

After I'm dressed, I go downstairs and grab my keys. Putting them in my pocket, I stand in the middle of the living room and frown. I need to find the snake again. I crawl around the room on my hands and knees, checking everywhere. I see him under the bookcase thirty minutes later. I laugh as I leave the house with Huggie and put him on the passenger seat. He curls up. Snakes are crazy animals, but I still smile at him. I'm sure that Mylah will be relieved to have him back. I'm sure that she has noticed that he is missing by now. I can't wait to see her again.

I get in the car and pull out of the driveway. I hope I can smooth things over with Mylah. I really miss her and want to be with her again. The drive to the clinic is quiet since it is only me in the car. It is still pretty enjoyable. I get to the area and park down the street. Getting out of the car, I take the snake with me. I carry him in my arms as I walk the short distance to the clinic.

I stop a few feet away in surprise. Well, this is certainly unexpected. I look around the area in confusion. Yup, I am definitely in the right place.

There is a massive crowd of people outside of the building. That is odd. I wonder what is going on. I move closer and look at a sign in the window. It's not difficult to do since I'm tall. The sign reads “puppy adoptions.” I smile because that is pretty clever of Mylah. Her sign seems to have really drawn in a lot of potential clients.

I adjust the snake in my arms to get a better grip on him. I don't know how I am going to get through this crowd to see Mylah. But that doesn't matter now. I look at the group again, and I'm really impressed and delighted that there is such a large turnout.

I'm so proud of Mylah for her creative thinking. I stand there watching everyone gathered outside the clinic. More people are arriving. I can hear them talking about the puppies. I still hold the boa in my arms, who seems quite comfortable there now.

Suddenly I hear, “Wow, cool snake!” to the side of me. I look and see two boys standing there. “Can we pet him?” one of the boys asks in awe.

“Sure,” I reply leaning down. They call over some of their friends. The whole group takes turns petting the snake and high-fiving each other.

Out of nowhere, Grayson Bell appears. I never really liked the guy, given his reputation around town as snotty, but now that I know how he treated Mylah, I hate him.

He glares at us. “Go on, get out of here,” he snaps, chasing the kids away. They walk away, muttering angrily. Grayson ignores them.

I stand up with the snake in my arms. I can't believe this guy is here. “You know you shouldn't be here. You're just wasting your time chasing after Mylah. You should stop if you know what is good for you.” He sneers. I shake my head in disbelief. “You've got some nerve,” I reply. Who does this arrogant ass think he is?

Grayson smirks. “Just give up on her already. She doesn't want anything to do with you.”

I try to turn away from him and ignore him. I can see this aggravates him, so I'm enjoying it.

I sigh as Grayson opens his mouth and starts talking again. “You know, the whole time Mylah was living with you, she was sleeping with me. We were fucking behind your back. Now she is pregnant with my child.”

He has a kind of malevolent gleam in his eye when I turn around to face him. I want to punch him so bad. I don't think I believe him, but I'm still shocked. If that is the truth, it would explain why Mylah left in such a hurry.

I try not to let my thoughts or emotions show through. I don't want to give this jerk the satisfaction. We both look up as the crowd ahead of us starts moving out of the way. Mylah walks through the people. She stands in front of us.

Before she can say anything,
