Chapter 3

“Julia, how are you?"

"I-I'm fine.”

I sure as heck wasn't.

"You know, when was the last time we talked?"

I laughed to myself. You really want to know?

"Well, I’ve been busy."

He seemed disappointed by my answer. He could see through it. I should have come up with better excuses.

"I’ve been wanting to reconnect with you."

"Well, that's, um, considerate of you."

"Isn't it exciting that we’re partners for this project? What are the odds?"

"Right, who would have known?"

Maybe this would be a good time to play the lottery.

There was a pause. Then, the last words in the world that I least expected to come from his lips...did.

“Look, Julia, you’re a terrible liar.”

I froze.

“...What?”

He sighed.

“Well, apparently neither one of us has the guts to say it, and I’m getting really tired of chasing your tail.”

Huh?

“I don’t follow.”

“We’ve been best friends for a long time. We trust each other right?”

“I used to David.”

“Used to? What did I do?”

I gulped. Do I or don’t I?

“It’s not what you did, David. It’s me.”

“Yeah it is.”

I looked puzzled.

“I know why you’re hiding from me, and I need you to know, you don’t have to hide anymore.”

“How so?”

“All right, here goes. I’m not going to lose you, Julia. I’m afraid of losing you.”

“David, there are things that I don’t know what do about, and every time I talk to you, it just makes it worse.”

“And avoiding it makes it better?”

“Not better. It just gives me time to move on.”

“Oh God, no, Julia. Move on from who? Me?”

There was a brief but awkward silence.

“Why?”

“Because it’s gotten too painful.”

“I know.”

WHAT?

“You do?”

“Julia, look at my pants.”

“Your...pants?”

“Yes, study them for a minute.”

“There...uh...nice I guess? Are they new?”

He rolled his eyes.

“Look around my thighs.”

I studied his thighs for a few seconds...and there it was. I gasped. Holy crap.

“David...are you...”

“Yes, Julia, it is what you think. You’ve got me hotter than hell right now and I’ve decided that I’m done living this lie.”

Damn. He had a hard on that was clearly visible through his jeans.

“David, you might want to cover that up or something because somebody might-”

“I need YOU to do something about it, Julia.”

Really? REALLY? Oh my God. Is this really happening?

“Now? But I’ve only got a short break before the next-”

He then grabbed my hand and started to walk us quickly out of the room, into the parking lot of the school and guided me to his car.

“Just wait.”

After a few minutes had passed, most of the cars had cleared from everyone going for lunch. Then, catching me completely off guard, he took both of my hands, held them against the hood of his car, and ravaged my lips with his soft...oh so inviting lips, in a kiss that lasted what seemed like several minutes. My surprised look turned into blissful joy and relief as my tongue danced with his. He then stopped kissing me as we both caught our breath.

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.”

Seriously?

“I don’t understand.”

“Every time you said to me that you need to find a
