“His parents live in Summerville.”
“So he spends Thanksgiving with you instead of them? Sounds pretty damn serious to me.”
“They were out of town, but he’s spending the week with them. It’s the only reason he came to my parents with me. I would have told you I was bringing him, but you said you would be in Kansas with your uncle.”
“I guess we both had surprises for each other, then.”
“Ethan, don’t act so innocent. I know you’re dating girls, and you don’t see me giving you shit about it.”
“Because I told you I was! That’s what best friends usually do.”
“You’re right. I should have told you, but like I said, we’re just dating, and I didn’t want to say anything to you until I knew if it’d become something more serious.”
Unable to hold back, I snapped, “Are you fucking him?”
Her breathing hitched, and it was the only answer I needed.
“You’re fucking other girls,” she stated as if that mattered to me.
“Exactly! I fuck, Livvy. I don’t fall in love.”
“I don’t love him.”
“Yet,” I bit. “You don’t love him yet, but pretty boy Beau is sure as shit in love with you.”
“You don’t know that.” She shook her head. “I don’t even know that.”
“You’re so beautiful that it literally hurts my eyes to look at you. Trust me, I know.” I paused, letting my words sink in. “Is he why you cut your hair, or did you do that because you know how much I love it?”
“I cut it because I was tired of looking in the mirror at the girl who’s your best friend. I’m just trying to find my own identity.”
“Are you happy? Are you happy with him?” I had to know.
She didn’t reply for what felt like forever until she finally did but just nodding.
“Is he good to you?”
She nodded again, frowning. “Beau isn’t the first guy I’ve dated since I moved to California.”
“He’s just the first guy you didn’t tell me about, but he is the first guy you’ve fucked since me. Now that much I do know.”
“Are you trying to hurt me?”
I didn’t hesitate to confirm, “No.”
Livvy
“He’s everything your father wants for you.”
He stepped toward me, and I immediately stepped back. Which made him stop and cock his head to the side. “Scared of me?”
“Of course not.”
“Then why won’t you let me touch you? Because the second I put my hands on you, you’ll know who you really belong to?”
“That’s enough!”
“It doesn’t make it any less true.”
