She didn’t come home last weekend and said she wouldn’t make it this weekend either. This makes me suspicious, so I took a day off and headed my ass to the campus of FSU. I swing by the office on the way to the airport and grab some paperwork to keep me busy during the flight. I’ve got keys to stay at the apartment since it’s empty and Bronson’s blessing to remove his sister’s head from her ass.

I don’t make much headway with the paperwork and notice a case file I’m not familiar with just as we are landing. I shove everything back in my briefcase and have one destination in mind. Her fucking dorm room. Have I mentioned that I hate her staying there? This weekend I plan to keep her in the apartment . . . with me.

I knock and wait for an answer. She throws open the door, without checking the peephole. Her eyes widen when she sees me standing in front of her. “Dakota, what are you doing here?”

“We need to talk.”

“Okay, I have class in half an hour.”

I hand her the roses I got at the airport, and she’s shocked. Her eyes study me, and it dawns on her why I’m here. Her mouth drops open, and I take my chance. “Bianca, you’ve driven me crazy since you were sixteen years old. You’re everything I didn’t know I wanted, and so much more. I’ve loved you as long as I can remember. I know shit went down with us, partly my fault and the way I handled it, but I didn’t know what else to do. Baby, those same circumstances aren’t in the way now.” I hate to remind her of her dad’s death, but she needs to know where I’m coming from.

She takes a step back, shaking her head. “I can’t do this again, Dakota. I can’t go through that pain.”

“I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to heal you. I want you. I want you in my arms when you have a bad day. I want it to be your voice in my ear when I fall asleep. I want it to be your face I see when I wake up. I just want it to be you. Always.”

I see her close her eyes and inhale. She’s relenting, I can see it in the way her face relaxes and goes soft. “So much has happened. I can’t lose you. I have your friendship, and I don’t know if we could salvage it again if this didn’t work.”

“This will work, baby. I swear to you. It will work.” I see her hesitation. “I’m going to the apartment. I’ll wait for you to come after your class, and I’ll prove it to you, show you this can work.”

She nods, and I take a step, bringing us closer. She doesn’t retreat from me. I pull her close and hold her. I feel her tremble and rub her back. I step back and force her eyes to mine.
