She bites her lip. Obviously she knows the subject I have on my mind. “How did it go?”
“Not too well as it happens.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
I shake my head. “Not really.”
“Do you want to come in?”
I feel like a jerk, but I don’t think I’m going to be much fun around anyone at the moment.
“I think I should head home.”
She blinks a couple of times and nods. “You sure, I’m a pretty good listener?”
I sigh, taking her in. “You think so?”
She shrugs. “I’ve been told.”
I tilt my head on the side. “You know this is where we first met,” I say, changing tact.
She purses her lips and nods. “Yes, I know.”
“And so much has happened since then.” I know I sound pained, and I can’t fucking help it. I know if I let myself, it will all come pouring out.Then there’s that kiss.
“I know, Taylor.”
“How do we get past that?” I say. I’m not even trying to be a dick, I just want to know.
I don’t fucking know what to do anymore.
“I don’t know.” She shakes her head. “Just time, maybe.”
“How much time, Em? Six years went by in the blink of an eye.”
“They did. But we’ve only been talking again this past week. We’re doing okay, aren’t we?”
“I don’t know, Em. Maybe I preferred you the way you were before.” I don’t even know what the fuck I’m saying anymore.
She looks at me quizzically. “And how was that, Tay?”
I smile tugs at my lips. I’m probably about half a second away from her slapping me across the face, or maybe she might kiss me again. It could go either way.
“In bed wrapped around me,” I say, deadpan. The second the words are out of my mouth I want to punch myself in the face.
She gapes at me, unsure what to say.
I watch her intently. I fucking love the slight tinge to her cheeks at my dirty words.
I wonder if she likes it?
I know I like it. I still have feelings for her, it’s hard to even hide it anymore.
But have I quickly forgotten what happened to me last time?
“Is that so?” she says eventually, a little breathy if I’m not mistaken.
“It is so,” I confirm.
