By the time I arrive home, I’ve calmed down about the deposit. It’s not the first time my father has tried to buy me off, and quite frankly, I don’t blame him. The only times I’ve called him in the past was when I wanted something, and those requests typically came with a large price tag. He was just getting a jumpstart.

The sad part is I was so looking forward to sharing my idea with him. I want him to know I’m no longer just sitting around collecting his paychecks. I found my purpose and I want to try again. And I want to work really hard to achieve it.

Sitting on my couch, I decide I need to do something about my father. I need to get through to him. I need him to understand me and see me. I won’t be able to take this rejection again. Not if I want to keep my resolve and stay healthy. How easy it would be to fall back on my old ways.

I’m so thankful I found Pierce.

I’m so thankful for the way he held me, calmed me, took care of me.

After everything Pierce did for me, I have to admit my walls are crumbling fast. I find myself itching to be around him.

To kiss him again.

No. Just to talk.

It’s more than that, though. In a short time, he’s become a confidant, and I desperately need him tonight. I pick up my phone and send a quick text.

Me: Dinner at my place?

I sit here nervously twitching, watching the phone like a hawk, until I see the three little dots in a bubble, indicating he’s writing back. I wait with bated breath until the words appear.

Pierce: On my way now. Better be good . . . JK!

I laugh. He knows me too well. At my house, it’s always some sort of takeout, and tonight is no different. I want my form of comfort food, which includes extra cheese and pepperoni with a side of cheese sticks. I pull up the local pizza place in my contacts, place an order, and sit back and wait.

Why did I think this was a good idea? Asking him to come over for dinner is probably the dumbest idea I’ve ever had. We’re in this weird limbo now where we’re not really friends and we’re certainly not dating.

So what are we?

And why are we doing this?

Because you want him, the voice inside me screams again and I try to shoo it away, but I can’t.

I want him. I do. No matter how much I try to pretend that kiss meant nothing or that what’s going on between us meant nothing. It does mean something. He’s funny, smart, talented . . .

I’m fucked.

I shouldn’t have invited him over. That’s for sure. With a death grip, I hold my phone in my hand and think of how I can retract my invite only a minute after sending it.

Hey, Just kidding. I’m too scared to be alone with you now that I’ve realized that I like you, like really like you .
