Chapter Thirteen

Summer

What the hell just happened? And how did it all go… like it did? I need… space - or more of what I had in the kitchen and I’m not talking about the noodles even though they were delicious.

“So, I put you in the bedroom right beside mine. It connects to mine by the bathroom. If something happens just yell. I’ll leave my side open so it will be easier to hear you.”

“Uh, Roan… I don’t have…” I wave my hand over myself.

“Oh yeah. I, uh, laid out one of my shirts and some boxers I used to wear when I was like twelve so hopefully they fit. Remember, if you need anything just… yell.”

He backs out of the room leaving me in silence and the echo of all the lies I’ve been telling. So many lies. And what was that in the kitchen, before we started eating? I sit heavily on the bed and think about how good a kisser Roan Atticus is. He is certainly good at it so I’m betting he’s had a lot of practice. It makes me wonder…what would have happened, and where we would be if I had known what I was doing.

It’s not like I go around kissing just anybody but… would it have been different if I had have at least done it once so that I knew what I was doing? I flop back and stare up at the ceiling. How far would I have let it go if I wasn’t so damned inexperienced? How far would Roan have taken it?

Even when I crawl into bed wearing only the shirt Roan gave me, I can’t stop thinking, I can’t stop wondering, what would have been if only. That and the fact I can’t sleep because I am in a new place which always feels weird to me, only makes the over-thinking and second-guessing worse. By the time three rolls around, I am so exhausted from all the tossing and turning and playing armchair detective that I throw the covers off and slip from my borrowed bed. If I continue to lay, I’ll go mad.

I tiptoe the way I think we came up the stairs when Roan was leading me here and try to be as quiet as I can, so I don’t wake him. The last thing I want is to cause him problems and ruin his night because I am having the worst case of insomnia known to man. The kitchen looks completely different in the dark. All the homey atmosphere that seemed to define the room when me and Roan were in it, seems to be gone.

Now it looks like an empty promise. Dark shadows swirl around, and I can barely make out the little bar stools that are in front of the island that we just sat on not hours ago. I start stumbling my way to the fridge when I hear something that makes me pause to see if I heard what I thought I heard. My heart starts beating harder as I hear it again.
