CHAPTERTEN
Who: The Bubblegum
Where: Jupiter’s bedroom in Bardstown, where Echo’s staying for the weekend
When: 3:10 AM; the night of The Horny Bard
Dear Holly,
I saw him tonight.
For the first time in two years. Very first time since that night.
And I don’t think I handled it very well.
It didn’t go anything like I’d imagined and you already know how much and how many times I’ve imagined it. Imagined seeing the guy I kissed on the night of my sixteenth birthday.
The guy I hate. The wrong guy.
The guy who called me a slut for kissing him.
And I wish, I freaking wish, that that was all.
That me running into him was the only bad thing that happened tonight.
But no, something else happened too.
I realized that I still remember it.
His taste.
And when he cornered me in that hallway and pounced on me like the predator he is, that was all I could think about.
That I know his taste.
I know what my ex-boyfriend’s best friend tastes like.
His cruel and mean and smirking lips taste like summer.
Watermelon and lemonade.
God, what’s wrong with me, Holly? How could I still be thinking about it?
When will I stop thinking about it?
When will I stop letting him get to me?
Not only that, I let him ruin my plans for the night.
After our stupid encounter, I had to take a few minutes to gather myself, and so by the time I got back, Lucas was gone.
My friends didn’t have to tell me why; I already knew who was behind it.
Now that he’s back, I know that this won’t be the last time. He’ll try to ruin all my plans. He’ll try to sabotage me at every step. He won’t let me get what I want that easily.
Which means I can’t let him.
