“I know, I’m sorry.” My lips lightly touch his in a featherlight kiss and it calms my nerves. “You deserve to know what’s going on.”
He gives me a grateful smile as he pulls me closer. As if on cue, my stomach growls which makes us both laugh.
“My girl hungry?” he asks as he takes me off his lap and places me on the couch beside him.
“Well, considering I haven’t really eaten since our phone call, my stomach is probably ready to eat itself.”
A dark look crosses his face for a split second, and then it’s gone. I give him my best smile as I get up.
“What happened can’t be undone, but we can move on. We both made mistakes, me more than anyone, but it’s over now. Okay?” He gives me that smirk I love so much and bends to kiss me lightly.
“Okay,” he whispers against my lips. “And we will figure this out, okay? The pictures exist and we need to figure out who’s taking them and who is threatening you.”
My eyes cast down as the shame once again overtakes my body.
“No matter what happens, I love you. Okay?”
“I love you too,” I say as my lips softly touch his once more.
“Let me feed you since your stomach won’t shut up.”
I laugh as he takes his phone, orders some food, and I watch as he putters around the kitchen, and I finally allow myself to relax. As I watch him from my seat on the couch, I realize that the happiness I feel right now is directly associated with Josh being in my life, and for the first time in months, that doesn’t scare me anymore.
