“So, you want to own a bakery someday huh?” he asked, changing the subject.
“Mm-hmm.”
“Got any names in mind?”
“How about Remy’s Goodies?” She laughed.
Jealousy sparked. “I don’t think you should be sharing your goodies with anyone else but me,” he growled.
She looked up at him shyly.
“What?” he asked.
She bit her lip. “You want my … goodies?”
He smiled, trying to set her at ease. “I want every part of you, beautiful. That doesn’t mean I can have it. I only want what you’re willing to give, but we’re a long way from that right now.”
She nodded and relaxed against his chest once more.
“Are you a virgin, Remy?” he asked. He had his suspicions.
She hesitated a moment before answering, “Is that a problem?”
He squeezed her tighter against him, wondering what he’d done in a previous life to deserve her. “No, baby. It’s the opposite. I just … don’t want to destroy this. You deserve so much better than me.”
“Then don’t, Mikel. Don’t screw it up. You can start by believing you deserve good things.”
His eyes stung as the confession of his sins bubbled up in his throat, burning like the bile it was. He hammered it down as he had always done, swallowing hard.
“I’ll ruin you before you can save me.”
She remained silent, snuggling closer into him.
Time passed with a warm breeze blowing. Peeping frogs and all manner of insects joined together in nature’s melody.
“How about we call it Stardust?” she asked, finally interrupting their silence, changing the topic back to the bakery.
“Why would you want the dust? It’s just the leftover broken scraps of what used to be the beautiful whole star.” He closed his eyes.
“Because stardust is what wishes are made of.”
