Chapter Ten

“Yeah, I guess so,” I replied. She looked so gorgeous, lying next to me on the bed like that, her hair was messy, her cheeks flushed, her eyes at the same time bright and totally relaxed.

“I don’t think I mind too much,” she admitted playfully, and I nodded, turning to lie on my back and stare at the ceiling.

“Yeah, I think we can let it slide for now.”

There was a pause, and she propped herself up on her elbows and looked at me with a smile on her face. After a second or so, I met her gaze.

“What is it?” I demanded, letting one hand fall lazily on her lower back, just after her perfect ass. It was tempting to let my fingers roam further, but I fought the urge. I didn’t want to be sore for training tomorrow.

“You’ve not got out of answering those questions, you know,” she commented. I furrowed my brow.

“What do you mean?”

“I know why you kissed me back there,” she nodded over her shoulder, in the direction of the coffee shop. “You didn’t want to have to think about any of the stuff I was asking you about.”

“Uh, that wasn’t it,” I sat up, pulling my hand back from her. What kind of bullshit pillow talk was this? Did she really think this is what I wanted to be talking about right now?

“It’s cool if it was,” her eyes glinted with amusement. “Maybe I should ask you more tough questions, let you distract me again.”

“Maybe I just don’t want to tell you everything about my life, knowing you’re going to go print it in your magazine as soon as you get the chance,” I muttered, and swung my legs out of bed. I started grabbing my clothes and getting dressed, and Emily sat up, her brow furrowed.

“Hey, I was just kidding,” she protested, but I didn’t want to hear it.

“Whatever,” I snapped. “I should probably go.”

“I don’t mind if you stay the night,” she offered, but I shook my head, already checking in my pocket for my car keys.

“I should get home,” I muttered. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow, I guess,” Emily replied, and I could hear the surprise and annoyance in her voice. I ignored it, opened the door, and headed out onto the street.

As soon as I got to my car, I grabbed the wheel and stared down at my hands. What the hell had I been thinking, coming here? How the hell did I think this was going to end? I mean, she was cool. I liked her well enough, and I couldn’t deny that we had insane chemistry. But she was...there for a reason, and it wasn’t just because of me. She had a story to come up with, characters to create, and every minute we spent together, she was likely doing that inside her head. It was an off-putting thought, one that I did my best to put to the back of my mind whenever I could. But the way she spoke to me then…as though she had a grip on me and was proud of it.
