“It’ll be later. Don’t let that stop you from seeing your girl, though.” Max winks at me as he walks off, chuckling to himself.
Bastard. I’m starting to think he’s on to us and making me sweat. His comments about me seeing someone are happening more frequently, not that I’m shutting him down. I want him to think I’m seeing someone and pretty soon he’ll know exactly who that someone is.
Let him see how happy I am. How happy she makes me.
Maybe it’ll lessen the blow if he hasn’t figured it out already.
Or maybe he’s just fucking with me until I come clean, to see how long I plan to lie to him.
I can’t get a good read on him and that scares me more than anything else. Especially since I see him every day, here and at home. Because if I’m not with Willow, I’m with Max. One or the other, not very often both. It’s too hard.
To keep my hands to myself.
To not look in her direction and see my future flash before my eyes.
The two-story house with gray shutters. Her in our gourmet kitchen, barefoot, helping me cook dinner. Her belly round with my child. Us in bed together at night, her wrapped in my arms. Waking up next to her and kissing her because I can’t get enough of her lips.
My heart beats for hers. I can’t wait to announce it to the world.
