Chapter Fourteen

Amber

AS WE MADE OUR WAY out of the aquarium, my head was swimming.

I couldn’t believe I had nearly kissed him. I couldn’t believe I had let him hold my hand. I was still trying to work out what I should do now, if I should sprint to a water taxi and get as far from there as I could, or if I wanted this day to go on a little longer.

I didn’t want to keep him from...well, whatever it was he was supposed to be doing. I hadn’t asked him about his job, but I figured he must have one. Right? Or maybe he was one of those rich trust-fund kids who got everything they wanted on a platter.

He didn’t strike me as the type, and I had come across plenty of them in my time studying law. He had a different kind of confidence, as though he knew just what he deserved and wasn’t afraid to take it. I enjoyed it about him, even though I knew I shouldn’t have.

But it was more than just his confidence that drew me in. No, it was how attentive and focused he seemed on me. He wanted to hear what I was into, he wanted to listen to my interests, and I liked it. Aaron—well, Aaron had a habit of brushing me off so he could talk about what he wanted to talk about. It never felt as though he was really doing what he could to take care of my needs, more that he was listening to me talk until he got his chance to come out with what he wanted to say.

Or maybe I was just trying to find some way to justify what had happened in there to myself. I didn’t want to admit how good it had felt, how much I wished for more.

I wasn’t going to blow up my relationship over someone I had just met, was I? I needed to pull myself together. I still didn’t even know if Aaron was cheating on me, but I would give him the excuse he needed if he discovered I had spent the day with Josh. Even if I had tried to pass it off as just friendly, he wasn’t stupid, he would see through it, no matter how much I tried to cover my ass.

“What are you doing now?” Josh asked casually, as though the two of us were just on any normal date. Maybe, to him, we were, but I was engaged to someone else, and I knew I should have been getting back home already. I felt like Cinderella; I had already stayed out too late, and the thought of being caught in this mess was enough to make me come out in hives from the stress.

“I’m—I should be getting home,” I told him, hardly able to make eye contact. I felt like if I did, I might just lunge at him and kiss him right then and there, and I needed to control myself. I needed to do better.
