“Good morning baby.” My newfound nickname for her rolls off my tongue.

“Baby seems to be used a lot lately.”

I lean back on my hands and sigh. I can’t get a read on her. I don’t know if I am being too fast or too slow for her.

“Are we not exclusive? Didn’t you say you didn’t want me seeing anyone else?”

I try not to sound disappointed. I know she has her fair share of hurt, but I am pretty sure that’s what she said.

“I said that. I just didn’t know that meant we were together, together.”

I smack my lips and get up from the floor. She quickly gets up grabbing ahold of my arm, preventing me from leaving.

“Look, I don’t know what is going on here, Julia. I am trying to open up to you. I am trying to open up my heart, I have many feelings coursing through my veins. But you are infuriating with all the mixed signals. Help me out, Julia. What is this?”

I point between the two of us. Her eyes watch my fingers before returning her gaze to me, a grin forms on her face and I am even more confused.

“I have been in here all morning, writing.”

I sigh as she decides now is a good time to talk about her books.

“No, listen to me. I’ve been in here all morning writing a book. It’s about a young woman who has been through many trials and heartbreak, she felt so alone in the world, and needed a fresh start. She didn’t expect to fall in love with a man who was equally as hurt as she was. But she did, she fell for him, but didn’t know how to express herself to him because she was afraid of being hurt again or denied.”

My eyes trail over every part of her face. The words she uses to describe her book match her story, our story.

“Are you trying to tell me that you are in love with me, Julia? Because I need you to be very fucking clear right now.”

She smiles as she tucks a piece of hair behind her ear. She rises on her toes and wraps her arms around my neck.

“I knew I was falling in love with you the day you took me to the waterfall. I was just too scared to say it.”

I don’t let her speak anymore. I lift her up, holding on to her ass as I kiss her, sucking her bottom lip before I bite down softly. My tongue darts out to lick her lip easing the pain before I set her back down. She whimpers when I step away from her and walk out of the room. I hustle to the living room, pulling off blankets and shaking bodies.

“Wake the fuck up and get out.” I yell out.

Sleepy eyes blink up at me as I shake them awake some more.

“What the fuck Caleb?” Madison stretches her arms out.

“You guys need to go. Right now. I need to make love to Julia, right fucking now. Go, let’s go.”

I grab their shoes, tossing them at their feet. Travis just smiles as he grabs his coat and leaves the house. Madison angrily picks up her coat and purse before turning to me.

“Wait.”

She tries to question what I just stated but I deny her.

“You heard me. Go, please.” I beg of them.

I need to get back to the room. My heart is racing. My cock is begging me to be inside Julia and my stomach is turning over.

“Caleb.”

Julia yells at me from the hallway, her hands on her hips tapping her foot.

“You didn’t have to kick them out.”

I close the door, locking it before I rush over to her, almost sliding on my ass as I come to a halt.
