Playing Games with The Player: GAME OVER (Sequal to PGWTP)

Chapter 16

Sorry y'all, my life has been hectic and super busy.

Gabby's POV

Kade's house is located about 20 miles outside of Greensboro, an it's not until now that I hadn't realized how far Kade had lived from not just my house, but the university as well.

His home was more secluded, but in a nice way. It's beautiful aesthetic along with the yard, gave off a sense of peace and comfort.

I undo my seatbelt as well as Kade, after coming to a stop in his driveway.

Kade gets out and I quickly try to as well, before realizing he'd already locked the door.

Kade makes his way over toward my door to open it for me and grins.

"Thank you." I smile.

"No problem." I shut my door as I gather myself and bring my purse along with me in one hand.

His house is somewhat large, tidy, organized, and well decorated with grey and black accents.

The air holds a soft, light linen smell to it, one that isn't extremely strong.

"Wow. Your house is emaculate. Did you decorate it?" I question and he smiles as he takes off his jacket, hanging it on the hook.

"No my mother did. She's obssessed with interior design." I smile.

"I like her taste." I admit, while running my fingers over the smooth couch.

"Is this genuine leather?" I question him curiously, referring to the couch.

"Yeah." He nods with a slight smile.

"Nice." I compliment.

"Want to eat, then I can give you a tour?"

I nod pleased, as my stomach rumbles.

"Sounds like a deal. What are we having?" I question in excitement and he smiles.

"You like Lasagna?" I nod at his suggestion.

"Lasagna it is then." We both grin, pleased and Kade begins gathering all of the ingredients to prepare the Italian dish.

Kade and I spoke for hours, ate dinner, laughed till we almost cried and honestly, the night has been incredible.

Kade and I sit across from the other as we continue to conversate.

"So tell me about your family. You never speak about them. What are they like?" He smiles and I shift uncomfortably in my chair.

"Well...there's not much to say really." I sigh.

"Is your parents divorced?"

"No." I reply, trying to think of something to steer us away from the conversation.

"Are you close to them?" He asks curiously and I take a deep breath.

"Yeah I was." I answer, as my mind goes back to old memories.

"Was...?" Kade furrows his brows in confusion, knowing I'm being short with him, but the memories are still painful.

"Yeah...Uhm, they were killed in a car crash while I was in highschool." I say lowly, looking away.

"I—I'm so sorry Gabby, I had no idea. I didn't mean to—"
