âWhen no one is cheering for you, you have to clap for yourself,â I said. A desire to be the one by her side made my chest tighten.
Her lips twisted. âThatâs kind of sad.â
âYouâre your biggest cheerleader,â I said, leaning against the counter and sipping my coffee.
âI suppose thatâs always been the case. Itâs not like my family supported my decision to open Happily Ever Afters. Harperâs always been by my side, encouraging me, but youâre right. I donât need it.â
âYouâre like me. Youâre driven by an internal force, not an external one. Thatâs the best way to be.â
Gia smiled. âWeâre a lot alike.â
I winked at her. âThatâs why we didnât get along.â
She gestured between us. âI think itâs because we both knew this would happen.â
âYou mean on a subconscious level?â I was very much aware of my attraction to her and how bad of an idea acting on it would be.
âYeah.â
I leaned on my elbows, and she raised her brow in surprise. This thing with her was a game. It was a balancing act of getting close one minute and giving her space the next. I wanted to draw her in, but not so much that she bolted. âYou can tell yourself that.â
She blinked at me. âAre you saying you knew you were attracted to me?â
âThatâs right. No point in pretending I wasnât.â I straightened and checked on my omelet. Seeing it was almost done, I sprinkled shredded cheese on it.
âI had no idea.â
âYou had this way of pushing me away whenever I was near. But thatâs in the past. All that matters is whatâs happening between us now.â
Then I tensed, waiting for her response. I busied myself sliding the omelet onto a plate and then turned to face her, eating while standing up.
She arched one delicate brow. âAnd what is going on?â
I could smirk and say something cocky, but I had a feeling that wouldnât be a good move. Sheâd made herself vulnerable by asking. âWhatever it is, I like it. I want to keep enjoying it. No pressure. No labels. Can you do that?â
She sighed and finally nodded. âYeah, okay.â
I wanted to pump my fist in the air, but I restrained myself. I was positive she wouldnât appreciate it. âWeâll eat, get your stuff, and spend the day on the water.â
Gia smiled softly. âIâm actually looking forward to it.â
Her shoulders had relaxed a bit. I could tell she was worried about staying overnight and when she should make her escape. But Iâd changed everything with my impromptu offer of a boat ride. I usually went with friends or on my own. Iâd never taken a woman out on the boat. Iâd never wanted to before, but Gia was breaking all my rules.
I wanted to do something for her, pull her out of her usual routine. Make her see there was something more out there for her than proving herself to her family. She was incredibly successful and should be proud of her hard work, but she needed to enjoy life too.
