With her.
“You can come back from the party as many times as you want,” she lets out in a breath. “Especially if it’s forthis.”
I laugh as I slowly pull myself out and slide onto the mattress. My face turn to the ceiling, I let my breath calm down before turning my head towards her. She’s turned to the side, so her whole body is facing me. She looks at me in silence and smiles at me, one hand under her cheek.
“Was it good, though?”
“It was…”
I pause for a second to search for my words.
“Better than good. A thousand times better than good.”
She pinches the inside of her cheek between her teeth.
“I was talking about the party at Milo and Gabriel’s.”
“Me too.”
I give her a knowing wink. She giggles and her fist hits my shoulder. I burst out laughing at her outraged expression.
“That was cool. The whole team was there.”
I stop to stare at the ceiling again with a sigh. There wasabsolutely everyone, my best buds, the Terriers, tons of people from different classes at Boston University. It was a real mess at Milo and Gabe’s, but I knew there wasn’t reallyeveryonethere. At the beginning, I didn’t realize it, I was drinking, chatting with the students. I was having fun with my friends, I was playing games, then the hours passed, and I realized that I wanted to see only one person. I found myself looking at the front door, hoping like a kid that she would show up by surprise. I almost went crazy, checking my phone every ten minutes to see if I had any news.
It was pathetic.
“I saw Harriet again,” I announce outright.
Like coming back down to earth, talking about something I’m more in control of than my feelings for her. Not that I need to justify myself on anything, but it’s precisely because it’s Scar that I feel the need to tell her.
I want her to know everything.
Or at least what I have the words for.
“How is she doing?”
“She’s okay.”
“Are you glad you saw her again?”
Her question makes me turn my head in her direction, and I see a gleam in her eyes. A tiny thing that turns my stomach and makes me realize that even if I needed to tell her about Harriet, to open up, it was totally inappropriate. What kind of asshole am I, sleeping with her and talking about my ex right after?
“Shit,” I whisper. “I’m stupid, Scar. I shouldn’t even be talking about this… when…”
“It’s good,” she says. “I like that you’re honest.”
Eyes locked in hers, I feel the intensity in her gaze and place myself in front of her. I know I didn’t choose the perfect timing to talk about it, but at the same time it’s also my way of telling her things. To tell her that it’sherand no one else. So,consciously, I continue on my path, “She tried to talk to me, to flirt. I know her by heart, she just wanted me to fuck her in a bedroom. She’s like that in parties, and then that’s what we used to do a lot.”
I bite my lip at Scar’s silence and breathe harder before laughing.
“Fuck, I say stop talking about it and I tell you way too many useless things. Scar, I don’t care about Harriet! I should have started with that.”
She smiles and I slide a hand over her jaw.
“I don’t think I everreallyliked her. Let’s just say I enjoyed her. She was a beautiful girl but…”
I stare her mouth as I slowly move closer. Her body tenses under my fingers and I hear her breath stop in her chest. I love the effect I’m having on her and all my muscles react to bring my blood down to a single place in my anatomy. My dick.
