Chapter 358

• For the rest of the week, life was relatively normal for Dex. He went to school, went to work, came home and either hung out with Jessie or was lazy at home. Once he went to work out with Alec, and despite having the desire to come clean, was able to abide by Erin's wishes and keep their little tryst a secret.
