I pushed Rocky away. “Coming.”
“Tomorrow night, I’m having all of you,” he whispered.
I gulped. “Do you mean sex?”
“Yeah.”
“What about waiting until Halloween?”
“I can’t wait. I need you now, Ella. Will you be with me tomorrow?” The desperation in his eyes choked me up.
“Yes.” I stole another kiss and ran to the front door with a stupid grin on my face. He came back to me. I believed he was doing club business. His poor face was a mess of bruises and cuts. At least his lips weren’t damaged.
“What were you doing?” my mom asked.
“I thought I heard a baby kitten meowing, so I went to investigate.” I loved cats, so she would believe me. If it weren’t for being allergic to them, I’d have dozens of furry friends.
“Aww. Well, get inside. It’s cold out.”
I went to my bedroom and took my phone out of my purse. Several notifications pinged. All from Rocky.
Rocky (RJ): Damn, I missed you.
Rocky (RJ): Tasting your sweet lips made me hard for you.
Rocky (RJ): Tomorrow, you’ll be mine forever. I hope you feel the same about me.
Swoony flutters filled my stomach and heart.
Ella: I missed you more than you’ll ever know. I do feel the same about you.
Rocky (RJ): I didn’t mean to make you sad.
Rocky (RJ): You’re my girl, Ella. Don’t forget it.
Ella: Just try not to leave me in the dark.
Rocky (RJ): Deal. Can you stay the night with me?
Holy crap, was he serious? My folks would flip out. Then again, my dad might agree after what had happened earlier.
Ella: Maybe.
Rocky (RJ): Just say you’re staying at Brenda’s.
It was the weekend. Maybe I could get away with it.
Ella: I’ll try, but no promises.
Rocky (RJ): Okay. Good night, beautiful.
Ella: Good night.
I collapsed on the bed, all giddy and floating in the clouds. I’d do everything possible to stay the night with Rocky. Deep in my soul, I felt it… He’d meant every word and wasn’t screwing with me. I wouldn’t feel guilty for thinking the worst about Rocky. How was I to know he hadn’t dumped me when he hadn’t responded to my texts?
Could I have given him hell for what I thought was him ghosting me? Absolutely. Would it have done any good when I knew I’d give him another chance? Nope.
I wasn’t a drama queen. I wouldn’t bethatgirl, who went batshit crazy after the first bump in the road. The girl who wanted to make the guy suffer for messing uponetime.
