"I think a better question is how you survived without a phone for 48 hours," I point out.
Seriously.
If she'd told me if was missing, I would have brought it to her dorm room yesterday. I knew she wasn't really sick. At least, I hoped she wasn't. Even if she didn't want to see me, I could have left it outside of her door or something.
Emilia just shrugs and shoves it in her purse.
"Shall we go?"
"Yeah."
I open the door and she slides into the passenger seat. I walk around to the driver's side feeling nervous as hell. Once I'm in the car, I start driving, and the silence fucking kills me.
Finally, I reach out and flick on the radio. A song comes on that I know we both love. Or at least, we did five years ago.
She smiles softly.
"This was playing the night you kissed me."
"Was it? I don't remember."
&n
bsp; "That's a lie."
"Yeah," I choke out the admission. "I know."
"Gavin, where are we going?"
"Parker Point."
"You're taking me to Lover's Lane?"
"Is that what you kids are calling it these days?"
"Gavin..."
"Look, we need to talk about some things and it's best if we do it in a private place."
"Should I be nervous?" She laughs lightly.
"With me? Probably."
She reaches out and places her hand on my thigh.
"With you, I'm never scared, Gavin."
We drive in silence until we reach Parker Point. It's this beautiful overlook where you can park and watch the ocean waves. It's early evening and while this place tends to be pretty busy on the weekends, it's a Thursday night, so nobody is here.
It's only us.
I turn off the car and I turn to her.
"We need to talk."
"Yeah," she says, but she licks her lips and reaches for me. Emilia kisses me gently, but I pull away, confused.
"I thought you were mad at me," I say.
