“Pizza, wings, or burgers?” he asks.
“Not pizza. That's too much bread.”
“Wings or burgers?”
“A burger.”
“Okay, fries or tots?”
“Fries,” I smile. He just keeps surprising me.
“See? Done. I got you, Angel.”
I lean in and kiss him without thinking. His hands run through my hair and we got lost in the moment. I feel the moisture between my legs and move my hand to check if he’s hard. He is. I moan into his mouth. He bites me.
“I can come back in five minutes if you need more time.”
Pulling away, lips swollen, hair a mess, I smile, and my cheeks burn with embarrassment. “It’s okay. We’re ready.”
Kohen places our order and the waitress leaves to put it in.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure, baby, what’s up?”
“What are we doing, Kohen? This is weird isn’t it?”
“What’s weird about it?”
“I feel like we barely know each other, but at the same time it’s like I’ve known you forever.”
“I feel the same way, but I have felt that way since the moment I first met you.”
“What? That’s impossible.”
“Why is it impossible? Things go unexplained in the world every day. Why can’t I feel an instant attraction or connection with a beautiful girl who doesn’t take my shit?”
“I don't know.”
“Exactly. You don’t know, and neither do I, but that’s why it’s okay. There doesn’t need to be an explanation for everything. If there was, we wouldn’t have the wonders of the world, right?”
His logic is crazy but makes sense and I feel silly for thinking otherwise. People fall in love in weirder ways, I’m sure. I think of the instant connection that my favorite characters make in my books. It’s possible, like Everlynne and Seph fromBeautiful Gravesby LJ Shen, or Hardin and Tessa fromAfterby Anna Todd. They weren’t in love or anything right away, but it was an instant pull to the other for unknown reasons neither could explain. I feel like that could be scientifically possible. I can’t be this fucking crazy.
Those are books, though,the little devil on my shoulder reminds me.
That’s not possible for you.
You aren’t that special,my mom’s voice echoes in my head.
Maybe she’s right. I don’t deserve someone like Kohen. He deserves better than me, the broken doll. My phone vibrates in my purse, but I ignore it. The only person I want to talk to is here with me and Cora should be with Edward. So whoever it is doesn’t matter right now. I’m busy having a mental breakdown internally.
Like he knew what I was thinking, Kohen pulls me into him, lifting my leg over his muscular thigh. “What’s up, beautiful? You’re quiet tonight.”
“I was just thinking about what you said, about a connection that is unexplainable, and I agreed but…”
“But what?”
“But I don’t deserve that, Kohen. I’m broken. Damaged, no good. I don’t know if I deserve someone like you.”
