I’ve had mirror sex before, but haven’t done anything like what we just did. She doesn’t need to know that first part though.
“When I first moved in here, sometimes my reflection in the glass would scare me. Then one night, I was sitting on the couch and the idea of what we just did popped into my head. I was just waiting for the right person to do it with.”
She turned her head to look back at me.
“Was it worth the wait?”
“Oh yeah.” She turned back around and I pulled her closer. “We never did Netflix after chilling. Do you want to watch something now?”
“Sure.”
I turned and reached over to grab the remote off the nightstand behind me and clicked on the TV.
“What kind of movies do you like?”
Eve rolled over to face me as the Netflix menu filled the screen.
“I’ll watch pretty much anything besides scary movies.” She scrunched her nose. “I don’t like a lot of blood and gore either.”
I scrolled down to the comedies and one caught my eye.
“How about Just Go With It?”
“Ooh, I love Adam Sandler movies.”
After pressing play, I wrapped my arm around Eve’s shoulders and invited her to rest her head against my chest. She rested her arm against my waist and settled in.
As the movie started, I tried to remember if I’ve ever been this intimate with a woman. I mean, I’ve had sex with plenty of women, probably too many, but this relaxed closeness is rare for me.
The only thing I came up with is my girlfriend when I was eighteen. She was the first girl I had sex with, and I thought I was in love. All these years later, I still don’t know if I was or not. Either way, it didn’t matter because she was only using me, hoping my mother would represent her.
I’m not sure what it says about me that it’s been so many years since I’ve formed any sort of real bond with a woman says about me. What I do know is that this thing with Eve is all-consuming. I have so many thoughts, feelings, and emotions swirling through me, sometimes it’s hard to process everything. Since the moment I met Eve, I was hooked. And the more time we spend together, the deeper it goes.
I shifted my attention back to the movie just in time to see Jennifer Aniston strut into the restaurant after having a makeover.
“She is absolutely gorgeous,” Eve said. “She was my age when she made this movie and look at her. Flawless.”
“You’re pretty flawless yourself.”
“Why thank you sir.” Her exaggerated Southern accent made me chuckle. She kissed my chest and curled her fingers into my waist. “You’re pretty perfect too.”
I don’t know about that, but we are perfect together. In my opinion anyway. Things with Eve are just…easy. We get along well, the sex is incredible, and whenever I’m not with her, it’s like part of me is missing. I haven’t put a name to what I’m feeling yet, but I’ve watched my friends fall in love one-by-one so I know the signs.
Eve is scheduled to leave in five weeks. I need to tell her how I feel sooner rather than later. If I get lucky she’ll extend her visit with Winnie. Otherwise, I’d be open to figuring out how to make a cross-country relationship work.
But before that, there’s another conversation that needs to happen.
Pop seems to think my past is a big deal, but I’m hoping it won’t matter. We got over the whole age thing and, in my opinion, that’s a bigger issue than what I did for a living before I moved to Seaside. So I’m hopeful, even though I keep putting off having the conversation. But I know we have to have it soon.
Chapter Fourteen
Eve
Max and I walked through the farmer’s market hand-in-hand. The weather is perfect for spending time outside, which is good because we’re here now then heading to the music festival for the rest of the day.
“This is bigger than I thought it’d be,” I said.
“It’s definitely grown over the years.” He gestured to the right. “Winnie’s down that way.”
