Chapter Thirteen
We all know who is really a personâs best friend. Yours sincerely, Chocolate cake

Dinner was the weirdest hour Iâve spent in my entire life. Well one of them at least. It involved me and Brody sitting facing each other and not talking about what had happened at all. Not one mention of the extra snowball fight or the way we ended up lying in the snow, or that weâd wrestled, or that weâd kissed.
Heâd leaned down enough to let me know he was interested and I was lost to the sensation of his weight on me. I tugged him the rest of the way, desperate to get a proper taste of him, and the kiss had been everything I thought it would be. He kissed as he baked, with ferocious intensity, and if heâd suggested we go to his room, or mine, I would have given him an immediate yes. It wasnât like Iâd been with loads of guys. One actually. To me, sex was something that happened after a while and only when it could be called making love.
Only one other man had gotten to that point where I got to know them as a person, and when the attraction was so strong that I couldnât stop myself. So God knows how Iâd ended up wanting Brody as badly as I did. Iâd had an hour in my room to think, and it wasnât pretty. When I was fourteen, Rick was the boy Iâd been placed with at my final foster home. Weâd been friends for a year before weâd done anything more than even kiss, and the sex had been awkwardly clumsy. Since then, Iâd hidden myself behind meaningless flirting and nothing more, not that I didnât have a sex drive, hell, my online porn collection was extensive. It wasnât that I didnât have that push to get off, but with someone else it had to be right.
Special.
Iâd only really known Brody for two days. Fuckâs sake. Then, of course, the spiraling became steeper, and by the time I was dressed for dinner, Iâd talked myself into believing that the urge to take him back to my room was just because I needed him to buy into a relationship for my social media platforms.
And what kind of man does that make me?
Shallow. Pathetic. A waste of time.
And now dinner, which was an awkward mess of nothing at all that I wish I wasnât sitting through, particularly as every time he moved, we knocked feet. Where was my natural enthusiasm, where was my focus? This show, forming connections with these people,
âWhatâs your steak like?â he asked me, and I glanced up at his open expression and then down to my steak. It was perfect actually, soft, locally sourced, the bite Iâd taken had been perfect. But when I checked around me, everyone else had finished, and it was just me with my big ass untouched steak staring up at me.
âGood, but I think Iâll get some air.â I
