“How can it be sort of intentional?”
“We’re dating.”
“What?”
I explain the charity event to her and what Kastle and I agreed on.
“So, let me get this straight.” Brenna rubs the bridge of her nose with slender hands. “I’m sorry. All of this sounds unnecessarily complicated so forgive me in advance if I get it wrong.”
I gesture go ahead.
“You and Kastle are pretending to date for reasons that still make no sense to me.”
“His mom wants him to join Make It Marriage.”
“Exactly. He tells her no and it’s done. Boom. Problem solved. No fake kissing your best friend needed.”
“You don’t get it.”
“I know. That’s why I’m breezing over that part.” She shakes her head. “In the spirit of ‘practicing’ for the big day, you kissed. And now you’re worried that… what?”
“That we can’t go back.”
“So?”
“So?” I gawk. “Decades of friendship is on the verge of flushing down the drain and that’s all you can say?”
“Only one thing matters.” She bumps me with the toe of her leather sandal. “Did decades of friendship ruin the smooching?”
I shake my head.
“Come on.” She smiles wickedly at me. “Give me more than that. Was it good?”
I pause.
Think it over.
‘Yes’ isn’t the right word.
‘Hell yes’ maybe?
Kastle’s kiss was mind-blowing.
Earth-shattering.
Life-altering.
Too intense for words.
How do I convey that with the limited offering of the English language?
Brenna huffs. “You don’t have to say anything. It’s all over your face.”
I bury my head in my hands. “I shouldn’t have done it.”
“Why? You’ve been in love with him for… forever. This is a good thing.”
“It’s a bad thing. A terrible thing. The only reason I held back for so long was because I didn’t know what it was like to touch him. Not in that way. Now I have. Now I know what I’m missing, and I want more. I want it so badly I’m about to lose my mind.”
