Eye Opening

Last night was seriously eye-opening for the relationship I have built with Cannon. He text me late last night to say when he will be at the apartment to pick me up for our hang out. I promised myself not to think about the ending of our relationship, but the hope for a stable friendship. I accept that I’m not it for anyone or any kind of love like that.

Rogen already checked on me twice and left for the day. He is always so worried for me. I need him to realize that I’m going to get through everything… the past, and my present predicament named Cannon.

I text Parker and apologize for leaving abruptly without saying goodbye. She totally understands, and I hate myself even more for lying to her. But, I can’t come out and say ‘I’m sorry I had to leave, because I panicked, and because I think I am already falling in love with your brother… who I have been screwing for the past three weeks. Love you.’

I’m not good enough for him or his wonderful family.

Cannon shows up right on time. He looks perfect as usual with his whole causal look. He is wearing a band tee, jeans, and combat boots.

It makes me glad about my decision of clothing… my favorite Marilyn Monroe skull tee, ripped jeans, and combat boots.

“You look good enough to eat, love,” he says with that devilish grin of his.

“Um, sure.” I do not quite believe this man’s statement. How can I when all I feel like is… worthless.

He steps into the living room and gives me a lingering kiss on my lips. It’s hard not to let myself get swept up into those lips and his feathery light touches.

“Before we go, I want to take the time to apologize about last night. When I came home , and you were there… it threw me for a loop. I was stunned by you and your presence in my parents’ house. So, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have let you leave, and I should have come by to check on you,” he confesses. I know he is genuinely sorry for the simple fact that I can tell in his eyes that he is sorry for letting me leave last night. I want to let this go as fast as humanly possible.

“Cannon, it’s fine. You don’t owe me an explanation for anything. I actually had some work to catch up on,” I say.

He looks at me like he is trying to assess the answer that I have given him. Then, all the sudden he has me pushed up against the front door and his lips are on mine. He kisses me differently than he has ever before. It’s like my lips are his drug of choice and he has been too long without them.

He finally takes a step back… his hands still cradling my face, and looks deeply into my eyes. I think he is trying to convey something to me but quickly masks it away.
