If I said that I didn’t crave that kind of love again, I’d be lying.
But then one day, out of the total blue, Jace had stopped talking to me altogether, told me that everything between us was fake, that we couldn’t ever be together, that he’d rather be with someone like Nicole, who wasn’t using him for his money or his looks or his talent in football. Someone who loved him for him.
Maybe I hadn’t shown him how much I loved every part of him back then.
Maybe he hadn’t noticed all those times I stared at him lovingly in class, all those times that I had made him smile so wide when he was broken down in tears, every time I would curl my fingers into his chest when he was sleeping, all those lovable little moments.
I fucking loved the real Jace Harbor with my entire heart.
“Sorry.” Jamal pulled away, his eyes wide. “I didn’t mean to make it weird.”
I grasped his hand, still lost in my past, and hoped tears wouldn’t form in my eyes. “No,” I whispered to him. “It’s okay. I don’t mind it. I was just thinking about”—I brushed my fingers against his forearm and looked out into the sea—“us.”
