I reach up to caress his jaw and nod. “Okay…”
CHAPTER10
Devon
Iwake up with a start when I feel her bolting upright in bed.
“Lynn,” I call her gently, reaching for her shoulders. “Love, are you alright?”
She shakes her head, and all of a sudden, there are tears in her eyes, and I feel an invisible hand squeezing my heart. "Oh, no! Please, baby, please don't cry!"
What am I saying?
Of course, she is crying!
She can only remember sparse details from last night. She is here, in my bed, and doesn't even know why.
I had thought she was okay with it, all things considered, and that she was just confused but no longer upset.
And now this?
She is in tears because of me.
I can’t stand this.
"Please, love, calm down. Please stop crying. You're killing me."
My words only make her cry even more, and I can't really blame her.
God, I’ve ruined everything!
I destroyed my only chance with her, my only shot at happiness.
I would have never allowed for things to get to this point if I had realized she was that drunk last night, but she was perfectly lucid and rational the whole night while we talked!
I turn around, giving her my back. I can't face her. My God, I managed to take advantage of her not once, but several times and today again?
How does one apologize for such a thing?
Is it even possible?
I've lost her. I've just lost her. Just when it finally looked like I had her, I lost her, and I love her so much!
What am I going to do?
My shoulders slump, and I feel my vision blur. “I’m sorry, love. I’m so sorry,” I murmur. I don’t even know if she can hear me.
Then I feel her tiny, cool hand on my back. “Devon…”
I just freeze, not moving a muscle.
“Devon, look at me.”
I sigh, shaking my head. I can’t bring myself to turn around, not if she hates me as much as I think she does right now.
“I know what you are thinking. Don’t you dare go there, all right!”
“But—”
