Chapter Twenty

Maddison

“Just tell us.” My mother pushed even harder, and I sat at the kitchen table in my gran’s kitchen with my head hung low. I couldn’t get the image of Mike’s face out of my head, that lost look that practically broke me in two. “What happened?”

My heart sank when I looked up to see a worried look and every single one of the faces looking back at me. But it was Maria’s that hit me the hardest. Tears stained her cheeks, and if I knew one thing, I knew that Maria didn’t shed a tear often. She was headstrong, and on most days, a badass, but not today. At this very moment, she was sad, worried even.

“He kissed me,” I finally said, and everyone stared at me without saying a word. “But it didn’t start there.”

“What didn’t start where?” It was Gran who asked me as she sat down at the table beside me. The rest were still staring like they were lost in thought, registering what I’d told them.

“There’s been this weird thing going on between us that I don’t think either of us unstop, exactly. A flirting thing.” I took in a shuddering breath as I turned my phone over and over in my hands. I wanted to call him the second he left, but I knew he wouldn’t answer. Hell, I was mad at myself for letting him go.

“But to be honest, I think it even started sooner than that.”

“I don’t understand,” Gran added, and my mother stepped in closer.

“I think we’ve all seen the signs.” She looked back at Kori and Maria.

“What signs?” Gran jumped in, sounding frustrated. “And am I the only damn person here that hasn’t seen them?”

Kori laughed, leaning in to hug her mother, and the rest of us laughed a little, too. “Oh, Momma, you’re just too sweet.”

“Okay, fine.” She finally smiled, too. “So, will someone please fill me in, then?”

“I think Maddison is gonna fill us all in.” My gaze locked on my mother. “Then we’re gonna help our kids figure this out.” Tears filled my eyes to the point that they were all becoming a little blurry. My throat burned, and my chest felt like something heavy was crushing it, but I nodded in agreement, and they all joined me at the table.

For the next thirty minutes, I told them all everything. I told them the details of every rush of emotions, every feeling that him just being close inflicted. I also told them my fears and confusions about everything. I ended with what took place in the bathroom here, and when I looked up, I found something I never thought I would. Smiles, happy elated smiles on each of their faces.

“Sounds to me like the makings of a real love story.” We all turned around to see Raven and AJ standing in the doorway of the kitchen. AJ was the one that spoke, and Raven was only staring at me.

“I’m sorry.” Again, I was apologizing to my friend for not telling her, for not being truthful in the beginning.
