Chapter 14
The Broken Warrior’s Daughter
Chapter 0014
Sunday is much the same as Saturday, only instead of treading water, itâs running Sunday is âmarathonâ day, so I run my 26.2 miles in two and a half hours. I finish my homework Sunday night and get ready for another week at school.
Monday starts like any other day. Itâs my turn to drive so I pick Jason up on my way. We go our separate ways for our first class. I see Rik from the corner of my eye. Heâs watching me but I donât make eye contact and he doesnât try to follow me today. Iâm relieved because I donât think I could look him in the eye after my Saturday early morning orgasm, courtesy of him. I can feel my blush just thinking about it. Ugh!
My day goes well, and I meet up with Jason and Lacey for lunch. We grab a table and Jason heads to the line to get food. I always bring leftovers on Mondays, so I begin eating. The room around me starts to go quiet and I look up to see at delivery man carrying what looks like a dozen white roses. Nice! Wonder who the lucky girl is.
The delivery guy is looking around and stops to ask someone for help in finding the person heâs looking for. I see the student looking around and then makes eye contact with me and stops. What the fuck? He points the delivery guy in my direction and he heads my way.
âCara Nelson?â He asks, looking at me. I look at the flowers with a frown on my face. Is this a joke? âYes?â It comes out as more of a question than a statement.
âThese are for you.â
âWho are they from?â
âThereâs a card. Enjoy.â
I stare at the flowers for a minute before Jason nudges me. âWell, read the card.â
I open the card:
Cara,
Roses are white.
Guardians are true.
Can you guess who I am?
Or will I have to tell you?

Your Secret Admirer
Jason is reading over my shoulder. âWhoa! You have a secret admirer?â
I look from the card back to the flowers, as if they have the answer to Jasonâs question.
âI guess so.â Iâm still frowning when Lacey âahhhhsâ from her seat. âThat is so sweet! I wonder who it is.â
âI have no idea. I mean, seriously, who could it be?â I look at both of them.
âDonât look at us. Not a clue.â Jason states, holding his hands up in surrender. I look at Lacey and she is shaking her head, she has no idea either.
Now what? I have to carry these flowers around for my last two classes of the day. As if I hadnât attracted enough attention already. Everyone is already looking at me and whispering about my flowers. This type of attention will spread like wildfire through both packs. If this wasnât sent by Liam, heâll hear about it.
Could it be Liam? He had basically professed his love for me on Friday night. Is this his way of showing he meant what he said? But it just didnât seem like something he would do. The flowers, yes, but not the secret admirer note. So that leftâ¦..everyone.
I glance around the room and see all eyes are on me. As I scan the room, hoping to see someone looking sheepish, I lock eyes with the blue glaciers that haunted my fantasies over the weekend. Heâs wearing a smirk, of course. I refrain from rolling my eyes and grab my books and flowers and head out to my next class.
As Iâm about to walk out of the cafeteria, I shout over my shoulder, âIf youâre here, thank you, and Iâll figure it out.â As the door closed behind me, I swear I heard a deep chuckle.
