“Where are we going?” I asked for the fifth time.

I looked down at my boots that were now caked in mud, and grinned.

We were on the back of Cleo’s bike, but we were driving slower than hell, and had been for nearly twenty minutes.

I’d lost track of the amount of times we’d taken a turn where I hadn’t realized that a turn was even possible.

“Few more minutes,” he said shortly.

Uh-oh. Was he mad that I wouldn’t shut up?

He’d been snappy since we’d left my place, and I didn’t know what to think of a pissy Cleo.

I’d only been around him when he was in a good mood.

This was a new side of him that I wasn’t sure that I liked.

“Whatever,” I snapped back.

He pulled over to the side of the road, turned the bike off, and stood quickly.

I hadn’t even had time to realize that he was stopping until he was already three feet away from me.

“What’s your fucking problem?” I yelled, tired of his attitude.

He stopped and put his hands up on his head.

“I’m just...I need you...I’m confused,” he finally decided.

I blinked quickly. “What are you confused about? Can you call for directions?”

He sighed. “I know where we are.”

“Then what are you confused about?” I finally asked.

He rubbed his palms roughly over his face. “A lot of things. Mainly I’m just not used to being wrong. I fucked up by leaving, and then not calling. I fully admit that, but I thought I was doing the right thing. I didn’t want you to be a statistic. Now here you are giving me the time of day when I don’t deserve it, and I just don’t know why I deserve that.”

I looked down at his bike, tracing my finger around the bright silver dials of the motorcycle’s gauges while I thought about what I wanted to say.

Looking up, I swallowed tightly, admitting one of my inner fears.

“You don’t deserve it, Cleo. You really hurt me. Gutted me. However, that being said, I’ve missed you. You were...still are, one of my best friends. I want that back, and if that means I have to put my trust in you again, then I’ll do that. It’s my decision to make. Just don’t fuck it up again, okay?”

He laughed.

The shit.

“Okay, baby. I won’t fuck it up again,” he said.

Walking back towards the bike, he swung his leg over and settled back between my legs.

Just before he started the bike back up, he reached his large palm back and cupped the back of my head, pulling it towards him.

I leaned in and lifted up until I could touch his lips with my own.

“Love you,” he said before the roar of him starting up his bike covered up my surprised exclamation.

“Holy fucking shit!” I squealed.

He laughed as he took off down the dirt road.
