I had only walked a few steps when I immediately spotted Kyzer. By the look on his face, I knew he had been watching my interaction with Taz.
He turned from me, a look of total disdain marring his otherwise good looks.
“Kyzer, wait,” I called after him, speeding up my pace to catch up. “I need to explain.”
“Explain what, Lindsey?” he asked, sounding very disappointed and sad. He was still walking.
“Kyzer, please stop for a minute, I want to explain.”
He halted right then and there and turned to look at me. I felt badly for the look of hurt I saw on his face, knowing that I was responsible for it.
“Explain why you lied to me yesterday about his feelings for you and your apparent feelings for him?”
“I know that’s how it looks, but I didn’t lie. A lot happened last night that even I don’t understand myself, Kyzer. I’m new at this. I’ve not had any serious relationships before. I wanted you to be someone I could explore that with.”
“Evidently, I’m not the person you want anymore.”
“Kyzer, I’m sorry. I really am.”
I didn’t know what more I could say. I couldn’t tell him that Taz and I had something serious going, because I wasn’t sure that we did.
All I was sure of at the moment was that the chemistry between Taz and me was undisputable.
It was new territory for me sexually, and for Taz, it was undeniably new territory for him emotionally.
I knew that I was emotionally attached to Taz in a very guarded way. My instincts told me that Taz was fighting the attachment because it was foreign to him until now. He was apprehensive at best.
“Lindsey, there is no need to apologize. You feel what you feel. I can’t fault you for that. If things change between you and whatever-he-is to you, I would always welcome another chance.”
“Oh, Kyzer,” I replied, putting my hand on his shoulder. “I’m not sure where any of this is going, but I hope you and I are still friends.”
“Absolutely,” he said with a faint smile. “You can never have too many friends. You’ve come to be a very important one to me. I’m grateful for that.”
“Do you want to meet for lunch today?” I asked.
“Of course, Lindsey.”
We both parted ways, going to our individual classes. I thought about how well Kyzer had ultimately reacted once he knew that I hadn’t lied to him yesterday.
I bumped into Darcy on the way to my first class. I suspected she had gone out of her way to run into me since her first class was in a different building.
“Well, well,” she said, getting a shit-eating grin going. “I’m surprised to see you made it to school today. No, strike that, I’m surprised to see that you’re even able to walk today after the workout you had going all night long.”
She started giggling as I looked at her trying to maintain a serious demeanor, but not managing to do so.
“Whatever, Darcy,” I said with a smile. “It’s not as if both you and Jill haven’t kept me awake all night on many occasions. I guess it was finally my turn, right?”
“Yeah, I would say it is definitely about time. You two were rocking it, that’s for damn sure. I didn’t know you even knew those kinds of words, Linds.”
She managed to get a blush out of me on that one.
“So what are you going to do about Kyzer?”
“He already knows,” I replied. “He saw Taz pull me back for a kiss this morning in the truck.”
“No shit? Well a picture is worth a thousand words, so I guess he got the message.”
“We talked about it. He said something to me just yesterday about Taz having feelings for me.”
