Bree

Monday morning is infamously bemoaned by many. But not by me. Not this morning. I practically jump out of bed with a renewed sense of purpose. In the shower, I let the hot water pound my body. My skin feels soft and tantalized as I lather the shower gel all over myself. I’m reminded of Jackson’s fingertips stroking the inner part of my arm, and my belly spasms at the memory. I can still feel his lips on my cheek, and the woodsy aroma that makes my tummy do cart wheels.

If someone had told me three days ago that Jackson and I would spend five hours on a Sunday afternoon talking like we’d known each other all our lives, I’d have laughed in their faces. His arrival at Ben’s house at the beginning of the week had been dire, as had the several days since. But yesterday had changed everything. Well, for me at least.

Oh, come on, Bree.

From my experience; based on what I saw and heard, I have to believe that things had changed for Jackson too. Why else would he have stayed so long? He could have up and left any time. When I offered him food on no less than two occasions, he had refused both times, saying that he had to go. But then he proceeded to stay for another hour, while we talked of yet another subject. I truly believe we could have sat there talking another five hours and had no problem filling the time.

Most of my conversations with them had been banal, bland, and superficial. Jackson, on the other hand, had challenged me and my ideas. We had both shared our opinions passionately, and yet at the same time, respected each other’s differences. It had been refreshing.

There is no doubt about it. I know my feelings are growing for him, and that scares me a little. Not to mention, it goes against the very reason I came here. But like a child who has done something wrong, I don’t want to look at the mess I have made right now. It makes me feel bad about myself, and I don’t want to feel that way anymore. I know I vowed five years of celibacy. But Jackson isn’t Robert, or David.

This is different. I can feel it. Way different.

Are you sure you’re not just seeing what you want to see?

Am I? Three days ago, I could barely look at the man. In fact, three days ago, I had stormed off and left him alone at the fair, unable to tolerate his attitude any longer. But then, the Jackson I was with yesterday, was not the same Jackson as the other day. He was not the moody caveman from the day I
