“I’ve always…”
April put a finger to her lips. “Don’t say that,Sebby. It’s okay. You protected me. You cared about me. You didn’t actually love me. That’s okay.”
“April. This doesn’t feel like something small to me. Okay?”
“My bags are packed,” she whispered.
“To be fair, your bags were always packed,” I said. “You just kind of lived out of them. So does that change anything?”
“I mean… I’m still standing right here.”
“Yes, you are,” I said. I moved closer to her. “That’s all that counts.”
“Right now.”
“Right now,” I said.
“You’ve got things to do, Seb. Off-season stuff. You’ve got to go surfing. And drink on the beach. And track down women with orange thongs.”
“That doesn’t interest me.”
“You’re a liar.”
“I told you I don’t like the color orange.”
“You’re a guy. A thong is a thong. No matter the color.”
“What color is your thong right now?” I whispered.
“Yeah. Right. I’m not wearing a thong.”
“No fun.”
April touched my face again. She smiled. “I’m not wearing any panties at all.”
“Okay, I might collapse,” I whispered.
“I’m kidding. I’m wearing panties. Blue ones.”
“Now that’s just teasing me.”
“Want to see?” April asked as she backed up.
She lifted her shirt a little and unbuttoned her jeans.
She pushed them down just enough to show me her blue panties.
Bright blue panties.
“Oh, fuck, I love you,” I said.
“Is this the kind of love where it’s all about sex?”
“I told you I loved you when you were fully clothed.”
“True. But you’re thinking about sex.”
“Of course I am. I’m a guy. Tell me right now you’re not thinking about it either.”
