Chapter Seven

Ethan

Her reaction to me calling her my girlfriend fucking hurt. I knew it shouldn’t but for the first time in my life, I wanted to be able to call someone my girlfriend and she practically fucking winced when I’d said it. I tried to not let it bother me, but it did. It really fucking bothered me.

I didn’t follow what happened next. Her moods seemed to zigzag, throwing me off the scent every time I thought I’d caught up. She seemed to be quiet, angry and sad all within a sixty-second window

I’d managed to get her to open up a bit but I was in new territory. Other than my sister, I’d never had to comfort any woman who was upset.

I stood with her wrapped in my arms and wondered what I should say next. Fuck.

“Beautiful, how do we make this less complicated? How do I make this less complicated? I hate to see you sad.” Did she know what she wanted and was just too afraid to tell me?

She made sounds against my chest but I’m pretty sure none of them were actual words. Jesus, she was usually so feisty, this sad side of her was one I’d never seen. How many did she have?

“What are you thinking? No bullshit,” she asked.

Shit.

“I’m thinking about you,” I replied, hoping that would placate her.

“What about me? That I’m some kind of crazy emotional person?”

“Maybe.”

She laughed against my chest and I felt so fucking relieved. I didn’t want her back in angry mode again.

“Sorry, I just, it’s just—”

I kept hold of her. “I don’t want you to be upset. I don’t want you to be frightened. I don’t want to hurt you. Ever. I want us to hang out, have hot sex, be together, be happy.”

“I want that, too,” she said quietly. “But what happens when you go back?”

I hadn’t thought about what would happen in three months. I didn’t even spend the night with the women I fucked, so every day with Anna felt different and special—like an adventure. I didn’t know what the road I was on held. “I don’t have all the answers. You might hate me in three months. All I know is that I’d rather spend this time with you and risk a broken heart than walk away. But if you don’t want to take that risk then—”

She pulled away and looked at me, smiling softly. “Oh my god, you’re perfect. And I do want to do all those things. I just know I won’t hate you in three months.” She put her head back on my chest.

“I’m anything but perfect, Miss Anna.”

“Please don’t break my heart,” she whispered.

I had a feeling that she might be the first girl capable of breaking mine but the thought didn’t scare me. I wanted to be with her more than I wanted to protect myself. I needed her to feel the same. I squeezed her close. I wanted to take all the doubt and worry away from her.
