CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Tyler

“Yeah, nothing is going on between you two, right?” Trent asks as I slide back into the booth.

“Who?” I respond, acting as if I have no idea who he’s talking about. Of course, I do, but I’m not exactly ready to talk about it, and I’m not sure what I’d say if I did.

I have no idea what’s going on between us. Am I a rebound? Is it too soon for me to have feelings for someone else? Is it even appropriate for me to move on six months after my divorce? I can’t answer any of those questions. I do know how that kiss felt though. It was everything and more than I’d been imagining, and it left me wanting more. I’m attracted to her—but it isn’t just her looks. I like her intelligence, her strength to carry on after life keeps throwing her curveballs, and how easy it is to talk to her. I’ve never been great at talking to people, yet she makes it feel like second nature.

I had every intention of staying away from her. Even when she walked in wearing that short red dress, even when I saw her looking my way, I still told myself I’d keep my distance. I didn’t want to proceed under any false pretenses. I didn’t want to mess with her mind after such a fucked-up breakup. That was the plan. But when I saw Nathan hitting on her, I felt my insides in turmoil at the thought of her being with someone else. I know she isn’t mine. I have no claim on her. I know I had no right to intrude, but I couldn’t be stopped. When she didn’t ask me to move as I put my arms around her, it was too late. I knew I had to taste her.

“Don’t play stupid. I saw you with her. Don’t be ashamed, dude. You have to move on sometime. We all know Jessica has.”

It’s the truth. I heard through the grapevine that Jessica was dating someone only a month after our divorce was finalized. I shouldn’t have been surprised; she had no problem giving up on our relationship. It made it a bit easier, but I’m still not sure how I feel about putting myself in that position again. I can’t help but wonder what was wrong with me that would make her run away so easily after five years together. Can I even make a girl happy, or will everyone run away at some point? I made myself a promise when she packed up and moved back to Idaho that I’d put all my focus on my career because that couldn’t pack up and leave me. Am I willing to break my promise?

I didn’t think so, but then Natalie walked in, and I’m not sure if I care if there is a future with us. I want her—even if she uses me for a night and moves on to find the love of her life. I can’t get her out of my mind.
