“I would have loved her forever. I would have married her.”
Selene’s mouth drops open. “What did you just say?”
I take a big gulp of Scotch. Holy shit, I just said it, didn’t I? I’ve never said it out loud. But I mean it. I put the glass down. “I would have married her, Selene. In a heartbeat.”
“This is huge.” Selene slowly stands up from the couch. “This is the biggest thing that’s ever happened to us.”
I shake my head. “No, it isn’t, because no one is marrying anyone. I broke her heart, remember? I did exactly what I promised her I wouldn’t do.”
“So?”
“So, she hates me,” I say. “She told me she never wants to see me again. And trust me, she meant it.”
“What are you going to do?” she asks.
“Do? I’m going to drink Scotch until I’m numb. I’m going to stay as shit-faced as possible until I have to go back to work, and then I’m going to try to survive this. Even though I don’t particularly want to.”
“You aren’t going to fight for her?” she asks.
“There’s nothing left to fight for,” I say. “I broke us both.”
“Then put the two of you back together,” Selene says. She walks over to the other side of the counter. “We need a plan.”
“You’re drunk.”
“I’m not drunk,” she says. “And you aren’t getting drunk either. We’re going to get Kylie back.”
“We?”
“Yes, we,” she says. “You did this because of me, and she won’t see me either, so we both have apologies to make. But we are going to fix this, Braxton.”
I stare at Selene. “You want me to try to get her back?”
“Of course I do,” Selene says. “I want you to be happy. Honestly, Braxton, I’ve always known you had thing for Kylie, but I figured you just wanted to bang her. But if you love her, you should be with her. That’s kind of amazing.”
A tiny shred of hope worms its way into my mind. Is it possible? Kylie said she never wanted to see me again, but that was because I pushed her away. Do I still have a chance?
I clutch my chest like I need to restart my heart. Fuck, I miss her so much.
I look up at Selene. “Okay, what do we do?”
