If you were to ask me what, I’d say I have no fucking clue.

But I wouldn’t have been able to stop it even if I tried.

I grab her face with my hands and slam my mouth against hers.

She freezes at first, but when I urge her to let me in with my tongue, she lets go and down we go.

Like an addict who finally got his fix.

I can’t get enough.

I never fucking will.

ChapterFifteen

Chloe

As soon as his lips touch mine, I freeze. Until my heart is like, what are you doing, fool? Kiss him back!

And then my brain screams run, don’t do it!

What do you think I do?

As the saying goes…the heart wants what it wants.

I kiss him back.

All the feelings and memories come flooding back, rushing through every crevice of my brain and threatening to pull me under and drown me.

I’ve wanted this for so long. I might have ignored it, might have denied, might have flat-out refused to believe, but there’s no hiding it now. It pours out in the kiss between us, the emotion, the feelings, all of it a hurricane twisting around us.

Stop! You’ll be hurt again!

Just like last summer…

Just like when Dad died…

The pain… the pain of losing someone.

NO!

My brain finally gets through to my heart, finally yells louder, and I break the kiss. I push him away from me while shaking my head. My hand flies to my lips, my mouth stinging, burning from our kiss.

Tyler reaches for me, and I step back again. “No. No. This was a mistake.”

“Lo—”

But I put my hand up as tears roll down my cheeks. “I shouldn’t have come. Good night, Tyler.”

And then I do what I do best.

I turn and run.

Through the crowd, ignoring Tyler’s calls for me to come back, I just want to find Cat and go to bed. Maybe we can Uber home tomorrow morning or something. I don’t know. Everything’s a jumbled mess.

And the worst part?

I liked it.
