Chapter Seven

I woke to the feel of Gus’s legs entangled with mine. I was in my bed, sure, but did I want Gus there, too? I propped myself onto my elbows as I lay on my stomach and looked at the clock. While the minutes were blocked by an empty wine bottle, I could see that it was only 4AM. We had plenty of time before school started.

It felt like the only thing I could be thankful for in that moment was that I wasn’t hungover. Gus and I had spent the night talking through all our memories, good and bad, over a bottle of wine and then having more mind-reeling sex. I didn’t know how I felt and I wasn’t sure what would come next, but my stomach was in knots. Slowly moving from the bed, I tiptoed over to my bathroom and turned on the shower. There was no point trying to go back to sleep, my mind was racing with too many thoughts and emotions.

The hot water poured over me, and part of me wished I could wash away the past twenty-four hours. While I had enjoyed myself and felt like we had mostly repaired our past, I didn’t know how we could continue seeing each other. We were coworkers and the school had strict policies about relationships, and the bottom-line was if we started a relationship, one of us would have to transfer to another public school. It didn’t take a conversation to know neither of us would do that.

Was I getting ahead of myself? Why was I thinking of a relationship when all that had transpired so far was two classmates talking and having sex, as two consenting adults did. No casual hookup touched each other as deeply as we had. Even my subconscious didn’t want to use the word lovingly but it was the only word to fit. We needed to confront our future.

And, we hadn’t talked through everything. I still hadn’t told him about the book.

I stayed in the shower until the water ran cold. Wrapping myself in a plush white robe, I brushed my teeth and stared at myself in the mirror. Who was I anymore? Why did Gus bring this reckless side out in me?

Walking out of the bathroom, I found him sitting up in the bed, the sheets wrapped around his hips and sleep still clinging to his face. “There you are,” he cooed groggily. I perched on the edge of the bed, using my towel to dry my hair. Gus scooted up behind me and kissed along my shoulder blades. There was a smile on my lips I couldn’t wipe off even if I wanted to.

“We only have a few hours before school starts,” I whispered.

“Oh,” he breathed, looking at the clock himself. He moved to sit next to me, rubbing at his tired face. “I should probably get going soon… I shouldn’t have stayed so late, but uh… Thank you.”

“You’re thanking me?” I probed with a cocked brow and a soft giggle.
