Chapter 30

The short remainder of the evening that I spent with Savannah getting ready for bed was filled with her constant chattering about everything that happened tonight. About how insane Tyler was, how stupid Emily was, how sexual Cade was when he stepped in, and how much Logan had looked like he was going to rip Tyler’s head clean off his body.

But I didn’t mind her talking, I actually found it comforting. Because then I didn’t have talk about everything I was feeling. The confusion, the frustration, the fact that my body was still trembling at the thought of where Cade’s hands had been on me tonight, where his tongue had touched me. A shiver soared up my spine, and I had to physically close my eyes, willing myself to think about something else.

Get your shit together, girlfriend.

I also noticed how frequently those words crossed my mind.

My mind bounced between my classes and the fact that Thanksgiving was around the corner, and then to the feeling of Cade’s lips on my neck, his warm breath trailing across my skin. The words he spoke so effortlessly when we were together, the ones that made me blush and caused that familiar ache to grow between my legs.

Okay, back to Thanksgiving.

“Are we going home for the holiday?” I asked, completely switching gears on Sav. She blanched at me, taken aback by my random question.

“What? Are you talking about Thanksgiving? Yes, of course we are. Just like we did last year ... That was random,” she said dryly, and quickly got back on track and continued raving about how amazing tonight was.

“Em, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m just tired. I’m going to take a shower and head to bed, if that’s alright.” But before she could answer, I was already rounding the corner into the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.

Her soft rapping on the door had me fighting back tears again.

“Emma, seriously. What’s going on?”

Damn, I suck at lying.

But I kept playing along, not wanting to discuss any of my sordid thoughts at the moment.

“I promise I’m fine, Sav. I just want to go to bed, please. I’m just a little overwhelmed after everything tonight. I’ll feel better in the morning.” Well, that wasn’t technically a lie, overwhelmed was definitely an emotion I was currently feeling.

“Okay, just know I’m here if you need to talk.” Her voice was sad. I knew she only wanted to help. And after all the years we had spent together, everything we had been through together, it only made sense that I’d confide in her about this. But at that moment, I couldn’t even speak the words out loud.

I let the hot water from the shower flood the bathroom in steam before I finally stepped under the falling water.

It was scalding hot, just like I wanted it, and the immediate sting that spread across my body at the first touch of droplets made me wince for a split second. But I quickly adjusted and tipped my head back, letting the water soak my head and trail down my skin.
