“Really cold, standoffish, hostile…threw a fist into the wall…and then I think he kinda cried a bit?”
“Uh, what do you mean cried a bit?”
“His eyes were wet and red, like he was about to cry.”
I was horrified, but I did my best not to show it.
“He’s not over you.”
It had been just last week when he’d asked my father’s permission to marry me. I’d found his intensity attractive when I met him, but now, it felt like too much.
“So, does Hot Motherfucker have a name?”
I pulled my gaze away from my tankard and looked at her once more. “Aurelias.”
“Ooh…exotic.”
“I didn’t know his name until last night.”
“That’s hot.”
“I’m supposed to go over there tonight, but…”
“But what?”
“I feel like I’m walking into another Ethan situation.”
“He’s clingy?”
“No.”
“Then I don’t understand.”
“I’m afraid I’m the one who will become clingy.”
“Ooooh.”
“He’s got this ‘I don’t give a fuck about anything or anyone’ kind of attitude that just drives me crazy. I want to make him give a fuck. And he’s so beautiful. His eyes are like chocolate and coffee, and he’s so hard…like harder than this countertop.” I smacked the surface with my palm.
“Like…his dick is that hard?”
“No,” I said with a laugh. “His chest, his shoulders…”
She gave a sigh. “He sounds dreamy.”
“And he’s so good in bed. Like, hot damn.” I took another drink.
“Do you only want him because you can’t have him, or do you actually want him? Because that’s how you are. You like the chase. It was that way with Ethan.”
“I’m not sure.” I put my walls up high from the beginning, afraid to show any kind of vulnerability whatsoever. I was normally confident, but he made me uneasy, made me nervous, made me afraid of pain the second our eyes met. “He’s the hottest guy I’ve ever been with. No comparison. I’m just waiting for him to ghost me…”
“You forget how hot you are, Harlow.”
I stuck out my tongue and blew.
“Oh, shut up. You know you’re hot, Harlow.”
“Yes, I’m easy on the eyes, but this man is pure fire. No comparison.”
