I nod into his chest as he holds me. It feels like heaven in his arms. His scent, his warmth. It’s everything.
“I promise.”
“Your parents are worried.”
“I know.”
He pulls back to look down at me, his eyes are… different. Heated, almost.
But that can’t be right. He’s just being nice, because I look like death warmed up and he feels it’s his duty to look after me. Like a real best friend.
I never want him to know what really happened. It would taint things between us.
Eventually, he pulls back, and I reach up, placing a kiss on his cheek.
One hand gently strokes my shoulder, as we can’t seem to break apart.
With Fynn, I always feel safe. There is nothing he could do to make me afraid of him.
“I really am grateful,” I whisper. He turns his head, and we’re nose to nose.
“Sage.” It comes out like a groan.
I feel his warm lips press to mine gently.
It all comes back to me as I sink into this blissful feeling of being in his arms. It’s soft, sweet, and warm. I love that about Fynn; there’s always so much warmth in everything he does.
I hold him a little tighter, and he pulls back to look at me.
“Fuck,” he mutters. “I’m sorry…”
“I’ll never forget what you did for me,” I tell him earnestly. “Please know that.”
The way he holds me, like I may break, it breaks my heart all over again.
For a moment, it’s like old times, when we were lovers, when we had no complications. And though those times weren’t so long ago, it seems like so much got in the way.
“I shouldn’t have done that.”
My chest rises and falls heavily. I know he wants me. He never could hide it.
But I can’t. Not afterhim… I just can’t.
“You’re only human.”
A ghost of a smile appears on his face. “Funny.”
It saddens me how it all ended with us. Being here with him now, it brings back all those memories.
When you break up with your first boyfriend, your first love, you’re not really supposed to stay friends. But Fynn isn’t like any other guy I’ve ever met.
With one last squeeze, he lets me go and I sit back on the stool.
He nods to the burger. “Eat.”
I smile. “You sound like your Ma.”
He rolls his eyes. “She asked about you.”
