Twenty-three

It wasn’t what either of us wanted, but Gavin went home later that night. I was finishing up on one of my final freelance projects before I focused entirely on HERS. Plus, I had to get all of my stuff from my parents’ house before I even went into work.

Adulting sucks.

The next morning, I wake up to knocking on my door. When I open it, on the other side is Gavin, standing there in his Mustangs sweatpants and sweatshirt, holding a large vanilla latte and a croissant.

Swoon.

My boyfriend is so dreamy.

He gives me my goodies and a quick kiss—which turns into a long kiss—before swatting me on the butt and leaving to go to practice.

I go back inside, and even though I technically still have thirty minutes to sleep before I need to be up, I get an early start on the day.

When I walk into HERS an hour later, not only am I early, I’m grinning so wide it’s a wonder I don’t have bugs stuck in my teeth.

“Well, well, well,” Brynn says when she sees me. “Looks like somebody’s date was a success.”

“If me being Gavin’s girlfriend means it went well, then yeah. You could say that.”

“Freaking finally. You two were driving me nuts. But dammit!” She looks around the room and stops when she finds Paisley. “You win, Paisley. They’re dating now.”

“What the hell? You bet on us?”

“Of course we did.” She looks at me like I’m the crazy one. “He was sending you like, a million flowers a day. You thought we weren’t going to get in on that action?”

“Jerks.” I shake my head and walk away before my smile breaks free again.

The rest of the day passes like my days normally do. Uneventful. Which, after the last week, I should be happy about. But I don’t know. Gavin Pope’s my boyfriend. It kind of feels like confetti should be thrown in the air whenever I walk into a room.

Since business was slow today, Brynn let me leave early and I took the time to do some grocery shopping. Gavin’s going to be coming over more and I hate eating out all the time, especially now that I work at a restaurant, so I try to keep my kitchen stocked. Before Gregory Scumbag Thomas was arrested, my dad was driving me to and from the store, but now that the coast is clear, I grab my little grocery cart from home and hop on the train. Not having my dad nagging me about looking at every aisle, I take longer than I mean to and when I leave, the sun is long gone. I walk to the train, trying to think happy thoughts as the streetlights flicker on and off over my head.

Once at the train platform, I park my cart of groceries next to me and sit on one of the empty benches. I open my text messages, about to send one to Gavin, when a hand grabs on to my shoulder. A scream rips out of my throat, probably pushed out from my heart trying to escape with it.
