Jesse chuckles and leans against the counter. “Can’t help that she’s hot,” he says in an overly sexy voice, then shoots me a wink.
I wink back at him. “Thanks, J.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Aaron grimace a little, but he quickly hides it.Weird.He’s usually fine with Jesse.Oh, shit. Is he jealous? Do I want him to be?
“I’m sorry, don’t you have aboyfriend?”Joel teases.
Jesse’s eyes go wide, then he rolls them. “Seriously? You haven’t broken up with Edwards yet?”
All eyes fall on me, and I cross my arms over my chest. “I’m getting there,” I say, my lip flipping into a pout.
Again, Jesse laughs. “Well, have fun with that. And the party. I’ll see you guys later.”
Ah, yes, the party I have no desire to go to.
I pout more as Jesse walks down the hall and everyone else heads for the front door. As Aaron walks past me, he flips at my lip and says, “Put that away.” Then he smirks and keeps walking. Anddamn it all.That was kinda freaking sexy.
I internally growl with frustration, then follow everyone out the door. Stupid crappy boyfriend, stupid party, stupid best friend and weird, complicated feelings for him.
I’m already over this night.
When we get to the party, we all meander around for a bit before mingling. The boys end up out back by the fire with a bunch of the other baseball guys.
Sarah was out back flirting with someone.
I don’t know where Mackie is.
I grabbed some water and sat down on a couch in the basement. I chatted with Jenny for a bit, but I’ve mostly been sitting here.I should’ve brought a book.And yes, I am that person.
I hate parties. Like, they’re supposed to be fun, right? But I never seem to have fun at parties. Unless I’m off dicking around in the woods with Aaron or something. I mean, not actuallydickingaround.
I wonder what that would be like.
No. Abort.
I wonder if Davey’s here.
Okay, slightly better.
I think about texting him, but I don’t know if I want to see him. Especially when I know I need to break up with him.
I go through my mental list.
He’s been jealous and insecure.
Nothing I say or do reassures him.
He’s pushing me away.
He’s flirting with other girls.
He’s uncomfortable around my friends.
Sex made me feel disconnected from him and now we barely even do anything at all.
Even kissing has gone downhill.
I want more than this. I amMiss Romance. I havealwayswanted that epic romantic love story. All the ups and downs but the fight for each other that comes with it. That insane, overwhelming love that makes you do dumb things and forgive endlessly because you know that person is the one for you. Over and over. Time after time. You always come back to them. You love them intensely. They would doanythingfor you.
