His arms crossed over his chest in frustration. “Molly! Tell me.”
Oh my God, could this be any more humiliating?
“My feelings.” I mumbled into the floor.
“Your feelings?” His face creased in confusion before I saw the hint of a flush rise up his neck. “For me? You have feelings for me? You like me? Like,like melike me?
Something like that.
“Not any more.”
If I didn’t know better, I’d have sworn his face fell slightly. But he also looked like he was in shock.
Cool.
Because that’s a reaction every girl wants.
His eyes stayed locked to mine and I couldn’t break the connection if I tried.
Christ. Could something please swallow me up?
Was he ever going to speak?
“I didn’t know,” he whispered.
“Yeah well, you don’t know everything about me Felix.”
“Molly, we have to talk about this,” his expression was earnest and searching.
It was freaking me the fuck out.
“No, we don’t actually. And I’m late.”
I could hear him calling after me as I ran out of the door.
And now I had something else to not put on my ‘Things to be Proud Of’ list. Although it did seem I’d become very good at fleeing a scene and avoiding a conversation. Oh, and making things more awkward.
So, there was that.
Chapter 27
“Thanks, Steve.” I swung my legs slowly over the edge of the therapy bed, holding off from grumbling through the ache lancing through my knee, straight into my thigh.
“You’re welcome. You’re doing good; the movement is better, you have better range. How’s it feeling?”
“Like my fucking leg got snapped in half.”
He started typing up his notes on his iPad. “That’s because it did. How about the rest?”
My right shoulder jerked up. “Better I guess.”
He spun round on his stool and lifted my foot up to put my sneaker on for me, like I was a kid, because I still couldn’t bend properly on my left side. As well as the brace, my knee was strapped up pretty well making it virtually impossible to move.
And frustrating as fuck.
My hands were sore from three weeks of using crutches to move anywhere. Absolutely anywhere at all. Or to do anything except sit on my ass, which was definitely getting fatter by the day.
My body hurt.
