CHAPTER 20

“What did you do?” Greene asked her after Keira ran through the entire conversation with Emma from the night before. “You do like this girl, right? Why’d you freak out on her like that?”

“I didn’t freak out,” Keira defended and picked up her shot of tequila.

“Hitting it hard tonight?” Greene pointed at the second, still full shot in front of Keira.

“Well, the girl I’m totally into isn’t likely to show up to meet my friends as planned, because I freaked out on her last night for no reason.”

“I thought you didn’t freak out,” Greene said.

“Of course, I freaked out,” Keira exclaimed. “She had sex with Summer freaking Taft.”

“Like forever ago, Keira,” Greene pointed out.

“And she said we weren’t exclusive.”

“You’re not exclusive,” she reminded. “I thought you told me you both agreed to see where it goes.”

“We did. We did,” she repeated. “And I was fine with it, I swear.” Keira downed the second shot and followed it with half the glass of water she’d ordered alongside them. “God, I hate tequila.”

“Why did you order it?” Greene asked and took a drink of her beer.

“Hi, Greene.” An attractive, college-age girl waved at Greene and offered a lifted eyebrow.

“She’s like twenty, Greene,” Keira admonished.

“I’m not sleeping with her,” Greene said. “She flirts with me all the time, but I haven’t done anything about it.”

“Why not? She’s hot,” Keira commented.

“Because she’s like twenty, Keira. I’m not that bad,” Greene offered.

“Fair enough.”

“Now, back to your weird problem. You have a hot woman that you’re crazy about, and she’s into you, but you blew up at her last night because she had sex with someone long before you met and she’s not ready to be an item yet? Oh, and I forgot. You told her you weren’t ready yet, too.”

“I’m the worst.” Keira slammed her head down on the dark wood of the table at their favorite bar.

Hillary and Kellan would be arriving soon. Apparently, Kellan had been given the all-clear from Hillary; and Keira trusted her judgment.

“You’re not the worst. You’re one of the best,” Greene supplied. “Or else I wouldn’t be hanging out with you.”

“Well, yeah, you do have the twenty-year-old crowd you could hang out with.”

“Stop deflecting,” Greene warned. “Tell me what really happened.”

“Make, I don’t know what to do.” Keira reserved her nickname for Macon Greene for times of pure desperation. “I told her I wanted to pause because I was afraid she’d want to pause on me. But I don’t want to pause. It’s taking everything in me not to fast-forward.”

“You want to fast-forward now?”

“I want her,” Keira said. “I just want her. I don’t want to date anyone else. I sure as hell don’t want her dating anyone else. I’m crazy into her, Make. You haven’t met her yet, but when you do, you’ll get it. Actually, I don’t think I want you to meet her now.” She pointed at Greene.

“Why not? I’m not Kell. I’ll behave,” Greene remarked.

“You have that thing about you that no one can describe, but it makes every woman fall for you.
