Chapter Twelve

“I’m really gonna miss you,” Holly slurred. It’d been a while since she’d last had a drink and smoked up, but she’d relapsed, and a lot of that had to do with the miscarriage. Jules was leaving in the morning, and this was her bon voyage party. It felt good to be numb again. It was just the two of them shooting the shit together. There was boy talk, of course, and talk about Jules’s sick mother and Holly’s brief hospital visit. But so far in the two hours they’d spent together, neither of them had brought up their last visit or the unexpected kiss.

“Then come with me.” Jules hiccupped.

“Get serious.” She waved her away and sat back. “I wish it were that easy, but I can’t, Jules. Everything and everyone I know is here. Like my sister, for example. I can’t leave her too, and I’ve got my new apartment…”

“I get it.” Her friend snorted. “You can’t blame a girl for trying. I’m going to miss ya too, but we’ll keep in touch, right? There’s always the phone, letters, and maybe one day a visit. That may be more wishful thinking, though.”

“Hey, you never know.” Holly shrugged and took a chug of the bitter-tasting beer. She shivered slightly as it went down. “We’ll definitely keep in touch as much as we can. I’m here for you, okay? Even with the distance between us.”

“Well, that’s good to hear. Now what about the other day? Have you thought any more about it?”

“About what?” She licked her lips, playing coy, and drank some more for a little liquid courage.

“Oh come on, Hol, you know what. This conversation was inevitable. You had to know I’d bring it up eventually. It’s been a few weeks.”

“I did.” Holly sighed. “And I’ve thought about it a lot. That kiss was amazing, but I don’t want to ruin anything with Zander. No matter how tempting the offer is to be with you just this once, there is a lot going on. I’d feel like I was cheating on him, and I can’t do that. I’m sorry.”

“So you’re tempted, huh?” Jules smirked. “Is there a chance I can persuade you?” Her voice turned husky, and she moved a little closer on the couch. “I’m kicking myself for waiting too long to tell you. I wasted so much time with Ron.”

“I agree, you should have said something sooner.” Holly licked her lips again. “It might have happened, but there is still the matter of Zander, Jules. I’m really falling hard for this guy, and I can’t betray that.”

Her friend nodded and held her hand. “Can I just have one kiss to see if the chemistry is as amazing as I remembered it?”

“I suppose I could handle that.” She winked. “Come here, honey.” Holly didn’t waste time locking lips with her again. She wrapped her hand around her friend’s long blonde hair and tugged it, forcing Jules to lean to the side so she could have better access. They
