TWENTY-FOUR

QUINN

Saturday morning, I woke up and immediately groaned. Everything that happened yesterday still felt like too much. My mind was overloaded with everything he had told me.

Part of me didn’t want to care anymore about Ransom and his past. I didn’t want to worry about who it looked like he was and trust in who he was showing me he was now.

The other part of me, the part that still hasn’t gotten over what happened to me, sent off blinding sirens telling me to run from another bad boy. But I didn’t know if Ransom was anything like Logan. The difference between the two felt like night and day now.

I turned over, looking at the clock. It was already ten in the morning, so I had two or three hours before heading to the garage.

I got up, deciding to clear my mind with some homework. Josie still wasn’t home, and I guessed she would be at Sarah’s for the day.

I tried to fight it, but my thoughts came back to Ransom.

There wasn’t anything standing between us now. The secrets and hidden past were gone. It felt like that was enough for me to take a chance, but I didn’t want to be someone he slept with and left. I didn’t want to lose the crew and spending time with him just for some sex.

Every moment with Ransom, and the crew, was changing who I thought they were and who I thought I could be. I needed and craved this new part of my life that made me feel more like myself.

Even being at the garage had become a comfort. The loud noise of the garage, the scent of oil and dirt, and the crew made me feel safe and at home each time I walked in. I knew I could tell Ransom I wanted to stick around and be more than a one-night thing, but that seemed like just as much of a risk. I didn’t know if I could face him again if he told me I wasn’t worth anything more. I could never go back again.

I had wanted Ransom since the moment I saw him, and getting to know the real Ransom was only making the wanting worse. What if all of this was a trick, though? A ruse to make me think he wanted something long-term when he didn’t. Or worse, he was setting me up only to tear me down.

It was an endless loop of terrible thoughts that I couldn’t shut off.

The worst part of it was that I knew the only way to shut up that voice inside me. I had to risk it all and ask Ransom what he felt.

I got ready, still not knowing what I should say to him, but knowing I had to say something.

My hands shook as I left the dorm, running through scenario after scenario of ways this could go. He could fall to his knees or laugh in my face, letting me know he wanted this for real or was just hoping to get in my pants.
