I protected her.
All thanks to a conversation with Andy.
Not that he asked me to do a thing, but the worry in his voice told me what he needed. He was off playing hockey. Advancing in the playoffs. Chasing a championship. Worried about his sister.
I told him not to worry about a thing.
I reminded him that April was tough and smart.
And that her psycho ex was in jail. And would remain in jail.
I already knew I’d show up to her apartment every single day just to check on her.
I’d keep an eye on things.
Make sure she got home safely.
Call her. Text her.
Play things off casually but wait until she was absolutely calm and felt safe.
“Okay, so we’re avoiding showers and urination,” I said. “What should we talk about then?”
“I’m actually kind of tired right now.”
“Hot bath and bed?”
“You and water,” she said. “Or water on my body.”
I gritted my teeth. “April…”
“What? Can’t flirt with you? You’ve been inside me, Seb. I’ve felt it all.”
“Fuck,” I whispered.
April laughed. “Hey, listen… you don’t have to do this every single day. Calling me.”
“I know that. I want to.”
“It just…” She sighed.
“I know,” I said. “It’s all weird and complicated and a mess.”
“I want to apologize for everything.”
“I’m not going to let you do that. You know that, right?”
“I know. You’re a jerk.”
“You’re a pain in the ass.”
“I think I’m going to go. I mean… unless…”
What, babe? Want me to come up there and fuck you?
I shut my eyes and took a deep breath.
“You sure you’re okay?” I asked her.
