Gabriella

Everything inside of me is coming apart.

The reality of being on a road trip to home is bringing back all the unwanted fears as we drive closer to Colorado. My head is like a ticking time bomb—numbers flashing in bright red, reminding me time is of the essence. Or else, boom—all over. I have bursts of memory lapses, all partly due to Oliver and his distracting persona. I crave these lapses. They relieve me from the constant pressure which becomes unbearable.

Then last night happened.

With a man who was never supposed to be in the equation.

Inside that bedroom, I don’t know what came over me. That whole Bianca call threw me into a tailspin. For all I know, he is still seeing her because he has a life back home, a life I know nothing about because he purposely keeps it from me.

But he promised me nothing is going on.

And I choose to believe him.

Lying there beside him, knowing how much he’s wanting to take it further but respected my boundaries, makes me crave him even more.

Oliver understands me, and I don’t have to play the good girl around him. He knows me better than anyone else, a realization which terrifies me.

I desperately wanted to climb on him last night and feel his masculine touch all over my tense body. Yet, that guilt, the one which halts my every move and consumes my conscience, can only give him so much.

It isn’t what he wants. I’m certain he wants to fuck me into oblivion.

But perhaps what I gave him was more than I have ever given anyone else. The intimacy we shared, the private moment behind closed doors, it was an act many people, including myself, had somewhat felt ashamed of baring to another person.

It didn’t take me long, my body reacting to the movements he made in his bed. I pictured his beautiful hand wrapped around his cock, each stroke, and finally an orgasmic explosion.

In the light of day, the weight of my actions is standing right in front of me dressed in a pair of denim shorts, a baseball cap, and a white tee. How can he look so irresistible yet so casual at the same time?

Oliver hasn’t said a word or treated me any differently. It’s as if last night never happened, and I don’t know how I feel about that.

Before we step into the car, I ask him to stop.

“About last night⁠—”

“We don’t have to talk about it.”

“We don’t?”

“Nope. Secret is safe with me.” He winked.

It’s as if he has climbed into my mind, read my thoughts, taken notes, and done everything right, given the unusual and complicated circumstances. Maybe he can read minds? I examine his face—it doesn’t alter or appear any different.

You’re ridiculous. Read minds? He’s not Edward Cullen, for Christ’s sake.

I thank him with a smile, hopping into the car while buckling my seat belt to start the next leg of our journey.

Oliver spent the morning checking the car to make sure everything was up to standard, confident we wouldn’t encounter any problems on our final leg of the journey.
