My stomach sinks when I hit send. I'd talked myself out of it all week. I couldn't wait any longer. Another week has gone by and nothing.
Somehow he managed to dodge me all week.
I'm at a loss. My heart hurts. It's stupid, so stupid of me.
I let my heart get involved. I should've known it was the sex he wanted.
But, damn it. I want an explanation.
I've racked my brain, used all of my psychology tricks, and all I can come up with is he wanted me for sex.
For some reason, I can't accept it. Our connection makes me think there's more there. More to be explored. The sex wasn't just sex. There was something else there, I could feel it. And, I know he must've, too.
My phone buzzes with a new text. It's him.
At least he said yes.
Shit. Why do I suddenly feel like this isn't a good idea?

The coffee houseis busy on this warm Saturday afternoon. I shiver from the blast of cold as I walk through the door, the scent of coffee heavy in the air.
I scan the area but don't see Knox. An empty booth in the back corner calls my name and I hurry to grab it. I slide in and check my phone.
The text comes in mere seconds later and when I turn my head, there's his gorgeous face. My breath catches as heat flushes my cheeks. All of the memories of our weekend flood into my mind.
He's grown a beard of sorts, not long but more than scruff. It's neat and trimmed and I can't tear my eyes away as he takes the seat next to me.
"What's good, Em?"
What the fuck? He hasn't spoken to me until the morning I left his bed. When he barely let me slip from the covers, his fingers caressing my ass and slipping inside my sweet spot.Three orgasms later between the two of us and he finally lets me go. That's the first thing he's going to say to me?
"What's good? Hmmm... I'm not quite sure lately. What's good with you?"
He grins and gives me that playful look of his. I look away so I won't fall prey to his charms. The connection between us sizzles in the air.
"Been crazy busy with work and family shit, you know." He rubs his jaw and looks away. His eyes won't hold mine long.
Please don't be a shady guy. I really thought you were different. Don't make me look like a fool.
