Chapter 18

Nick stared at Mia and for the life of her she couldn’t read his face. She couldn’t decide if he looked annoyed, inconvenienced maybe?

“Is this about your dad? I told you I had to work. I would have been there if I could have been, Mia.”

“No, Nick. I’ve just realized, I don’t think we’re right for each other. I don’t feel what I should feel for you.”

“I don’t even know what that means.”

Mia smiled sadly. She had a feeling he really didn’t know what it meant. Her mother’s words echoed in her head and she repeated them for him. “I don’t feel any passion for you.” She shook her head. “And I have a feeling you don’t feel the way you should for me, either.”

“So, what, you want me to kiss you more?” He looked frustrated now, but she had the sense again that this was more about a change to his plans than about missing her or wanting her in his life. Nick had a plan and a way he expected things to go in his life.

“No. What I want is for us both to find someone we’re passionate about.” She wasn’t surprised when Jax filled her thoughts as she spoke. “I want us both to find someone who makes us feel—” she paused as she thought, but the words didn’t take long to come. “Someone who makes you feel excited and happy every time you talk to them. Someone whose calls you can’t wait to get. Who you can’t wait to see and talk to.” To touch. To be touched by.

She didn’t tell him what else she was thinking. She didn’t mention the way Jax made her feel like she was on fire with nothing more than the slightest touch of his hand. That he made her feel that thrill at the smallest of contact. Like there was so much more to come.

Nick’s face clouded. “I see. You’ve already found someone who makes you feel this way.”

“I have. It’s not someone I’m involved with. I wouldn’t do that to you, but it made me open my eyes to what we don’t have between us.” She took a deep breath. “I think we’re better friends than we are lovers, Nick. I just didn’t see that before.”
