Can we talk?
Sure, but Iâm at the Twisted Moose with Emma and Xander right now.
I know. Iâm right outside. Miller is coming your way.
âIâll be right back,â I say to my new friends.
I can call them friends now, right?
The minute I step outside, Braden grabs me and starts folding me against his body. However, because of where we are, the last week, and the overwhelming feelings inside of me, I panic.
âLet go of me!â
I step away the second his arms release me. Itâs late, and so dark outside already; it replicates last Friday night too closely. This spot didnât do anything to me earlier, so, why now? I didnât want to tell Braden about what had happened, but after freaking out on him like this, Iâll have to.
âShit!â I blurt and lean against the wall. When I peek up at him, his eyes are wide and his face is etched with worry. âSorry, Iâm as surprised by my reaction as you are.â
âWow, whatâs going on? Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?â Heâs keeping a safe distance, not crowding me.
âLast week,â I start but stop to take a breath. âLast Friday night a man sort of forced himself on me here, in this exact same spot. Iâm okay, though. Donât worry.â
âHunter, this isnât okay.â
I can feel the tears coming. I donât know why they are, but I donât want to cry in front of him.
âLet it go, Braden. Please.â My voice cracks, sounding rusty. It always does when Iâm going to cry.
The way heâs looking at me, itâs like heâs afraid Iâm going to break, that Iâm fragile. I donât want that either. He nods once and looks off to the side, past me.
âCan we talk now?â I ask, hoping to change the vibe between us.
âYeah, come with me. We can talk in my car.â
I follow him knowing damn well how this is going to end. Two adults known for losing control sitting in a car to âtalk.â Sure thing.
As usual, Braden opens the passenger door for me first and invites me to sit in his car. This is the decisive moment between âcan weâ or âcanât weâ be something? If only I knew.
Braden sits next to me. I study him, his lips, and eyes⦠even his hair. The way he always combs back his dark blond hair is so provocative.
âWhat?â he asks, and his shyness does nothing to de-escalate my growing attraction to him.
I shrug. âWhat did you want to talk about?â I canât admit to gazing at him without blushing again.
âI donât know how to get to the point without us having a two-hour conversation after, but Iâll give it a shot.â
âWe can do this another time, if youâd like. Thereâs no rush.â
âI want to do this now.â His eyes are begging me to agree.
âOkay.â
âShelly and I were together almost forever. Iâve known her since we were kids, and we were best friends before we became a couple. She was fun to be around until about two years ago, when she started asking me when we were going to get married and start a family.
