Chapter Twelve: Unfinished Business

Lucinda

“You used to love these pizzas. We ate way too many of them back then. I thought I was going to explode and turn into an Oompa Loompa.” I groaned, reaching out for another slice even though I was definitely already full.

Easy laughter filled the kitchen.

Chalk and I were back on the sentimental path. His presence felt like walking down a tree-lined street into the past. “You force fed me! What could I do? We hadn’t been dating that long. I didn’t want you to feel bad if I didn’t eat the pizza,” Chalk protested.

Now we were eating pizza at his house and kicking back with beer.

I held up a floppy piece as the cheese dripped down from it. “Look at this now? We’re right back here.” I stretched out the cheese with my teeth, grinning like a kid.

Chalk’s short, blonde hair looked good on him, he was so damn cute. Every time I saw him, the more my heart skipped a beat. I still didn’t know where I stood with him, but we were past the timid stages. It was hard to admit it hurt my heart to see him with Angie. I saw her flirting, I saw her touch his arm with the tips of her fingers. It made it feel like a knife went through my gut. “We are right back here. Together again,” I repeated. Oops. That part slipped out wrong and I couldn’t retrieve it.

Dimples near the curve of his lips released me from the feeling being unrequited.

“Together again,” he intoned, as his crystal blue eyes locked on mine.

So many words unspoken, delicate threads of our history that were begging to be woven back together again.

“Can I ask you a personal question, Chalk?” This was it. I would never know if I didn’t ask.

“Sure. Please.” His eyes were trained on me.

I placed my pizza delicately back into the box. “Are you with Angie Carmichael?” I asked softly. “I know it’s technically none of my business, so you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.” I placed my finger over a grease spot on the pizza box, trying to distract myself from any painful truth that he was about to deliver.

“No, I umm. I was never dating her.” Chalk’s voice had a husk to it as his piercing blue eyes met mine. “You came back in and shook things up, and if I’m being totally honest I – umm, I’ve been confused about things. How everything between us is fitting together. You know.” His eyes wouldn’t let me go.

The feeling of exposure grew as I gave him a sympathetic look. “Me too. There are feelings still inside of me – I mean towards you. I’m, ah – finding it difficult not to tell you that,” I stammered.

Chalk threw his head back, and when it fell forward, there was a look of amusement on his face. “Ahhhh, we are – we are, I don’t know…a little bit of a mess, huh?”

I shrugged.
