LUKE
Laying in her bed spent I didn’t want it to end. The feeling of her beneath me was something I would never take for granted again. The way she screamed my name through her release was something about her I didn’t even know I missed.
Stroking her hair, I waited until she was asleep to get up. I quietly dressed and went into the kitchen to collect my phone and hat. Kaci’s phone sat on the kitchen counter. Checking her work schedule on the fridge I saw she had tomorrow off. Still, I decided to grab it. Walking back to her room it lit up.
Kyle: Hey want to go have drinks
Kyle: Common it will be fun! I’ll help you forget again
Below that was multiple Snapchat’s from him and other guys I didn’t know.
Rage swept across me. Why was she talking to him and how would he help her forget again? Was she talking to him or him just trying to talk to her? Who the fuck were these losers?
Plugging her phone in I kissed her forehead and walked out. I made sure to shut the lights out and lock her door before getting into my truck.
My fists banged the steering wheel. I was so fucking pissed but I didn’t even know if I had a right to be. Scrubbing my hands down my face I took a breath and eased out of her driveway.
As I laid in bed all I could do was toss and turn. My mind was going a million miles a minute.
She was better off without me. That was a one-time thing.
Never again.
She didn’t need me anymore like she thought she did.
I had hardly slept when my alarm went off. Dragging ass, I headed to the shop. My body ached as I climbed the leg to the grain bins. They were dusty as fuck after harvest and needed cleaned. My phone dinged in my pocket. It was Kaci.
Thanks for locking up last night
Pocketing it I went back to cleaning the bins. I wasn’t quite ready to have ‘the talk’ I know she wanted to have. Kaci texted a few more times during the day, all of which I ignored. My mind kept wondering to who else she was texting.
As I pulled in my driveway after work Kaci was sitting in the lone rocker next to the grill on my patio. She stood as I got closer.
“Is your phone broken?”
I took my hat off and rubbed a hand through my hair. “Kaci I don’t want to do this right now.”
“Luke you’re confusing the hell out of me! Last night you tell me you love me then just leave without a warning and now you’re ignoring me all day.” Her arms flew around. “I don’t know what any of this means.” There was a sadness in her eyes.
“I don’t know that I can trust you again. Not with me and not with other people. Hell, I don’t even know if you’re the same person that left me.” I rubbed at my chest to try and soothe the ache. “You can’t just show up at my house and think everything is okay.”
“Luke we’re not the same people, we’ve both grown up. And I don’t know if I can trust you either. But I’d like to try.” She stepped forward reaching for my hand.
“Just go back to wherever you were. I’m not ready.” Pain sliced through me.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here when you are ready.” With that she kissed my cheek and walked down the sidewalk to her car.
Pulling a beer out of the fridge I slumped down on the couch. I tossed my hat down on the floor. Fuck! I wanted to be someone she deserved. But I wasn’t. Even I was man enough to admit I didn’t feel like her ripping my heart out and stomping on it all over again.
I may be an asshole but damn I love her with every fiber of my being. That’s why I have to end it before it even starts.
I’ve felt like I’ve been in a time warp these past few weeks with Kaci being around again.
Three Years Ago
Stumbling out of the bar I already knew how pissed of Kaci was. I got in the car beside her. The ring I’d given her two weeks ago glistened in the moonlight.
“You’re so sexy I can’t wait for you to be my wife.” My fingers slid through hers.
