Chapter 13 – Aaron

It’s been a week since I fucked up and kissed Bella, and I’ve spent every day regretting what I said to her. Even though it was a mistake, I’d be okay repeating it. In fact, I can’t stop thinking about the way her mouth and body felt against mine. It was right.

That doesn’t matter, though. I saw the hurt on her face. I don’t think she wants anything to do with me after that, which is good. It just doesn’t feel like a good thing. But no matter how much it hurts, it’ll save me a lot of hassle in the long run.

Despite the storm in my mind, I’ve been on top of work. Sam, who’s usually irritatingly perceptive of my moods, hasn’t picked up on my broodiness, so I think I’m doing a good job putting on my game face. I think Zander can tell something’s up; he’s been opting to hang out with me in the office instead of talking Bella’s ear off – he might just be occupied with his new tablet, though.

Every day, I wake up hoping that the horrible ache in my chest will be lessened, but that isn’t the case. Here I am, waking up seven days later, feeling I just broke up with the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s pathetic. We weren’t even dating, and I hadn’t let myself get close to her.

That doesn’t mean I don’t know she’s an impressive, compassionate woman. Brave as hell, too. She moved from her big city to this tiny little town alone. Her fierce independence is such a turn-on, and for some reason, it makes me want to provide for her. Sure, she could get whatever she wants on her own, but I want to make things easy for her.

I keep every conversation and interaction we’ve shared locked away in my mind, revisiting them whenever I’m alone. Bella’s a charmer, speaking with the kind of sweetness you find in the South, not here in the Midwest; she has a knack for making you feel like the most important thing in the world. She leans in, nods at all the right points, and asks all the right questions. Our conversations have been limited to work and my son, but I feel like I could talk to her for hours about nothing and everything.

I’d love to pick her mind about the books she likes and tell her about the ones that comforted me when I served in Iraq. Who knows, maybe we’ve read some of the same things. I want to know about her family and the life she lived before she moved to Rogerstown. For some reason, I want to tell her about what I saw, about Kyle and his last flight. Maybe I’ve been single too long, but I really think there’s something special about Bella.

I want her in a way I’ve never wanted anyone else, which is another reason I can’t have her. Losing her would wreck me. It already has, and I didn’t even have her.
