Chapter Twenty

Bo

I wanted to say I got every bit of desire and need for Gus Persson out of my body with our one night of fun, but my pants would have one hundred percent burst into flames.

God, he was almost perfect. That mouth, that body, that, ugh, everything. I could still feel him, still smell him, and all that was so damn bad. The more I thought about it, though, the more I didn’t want to be right. I didn’t want to be smart about this. I wanted to be young and free. I wanted to let go and be with him with nothing holding me back.

But everything was.

Holding his phone in my hand, I twirled it around my fingers, biting into my lip. His lock screen was a picture of him with his parents. He wasn’t lying when he said they were young. They looked maybe ten years older, both so youthful and so proud of him. His mom mirrored him with the dark looks and green eyes; she was gorgeous, but so was his dad. His hair was a little lighter and his eyes were a hazel color, but he was built like Gus. Big and strong. They looked like a poster family for a cover of a magazine.

But Gus, he stole the picture for me. He was wearing a Tornadoes jersey. His face was so bright and there were tears in his eyes. Every hope and dream became a reality in those eyes. He was stunning, and I wanted to see that smile. I wanted to feel those eyes on me. Just by looking at his face, I was back in the exact place I never wanted to be again.

A girl with a crush on a guy who could promise her nothing but a little fun and no future.

As if the universe knew I was already kicking myself for repeating the same stupid mistake, my phone rang. It was my mom. I didn’t want to answer it, but I did since she didn’t call unless she needed something. “Hey, Mom.”

“Hey, honey, what are you up to?”

“Just got up about an hour ago.”

“Did you not have school today?”

“Nope, but I have two hours of internship and a game later tonight.”

“Fun,” she said, right as Davis yelled something in the background. “Okay, love, yes, we’ll go in a second. Wanna talk to Boo?”

Davis had called me Boo since the moment he started talking. It was sweet. He must have said yes, because his voice came over the line, sounding excited as he said, “Boo, I’m playing hockey!”

“I know, bud, I heard! Do you love it?”

“I do! You have to come watch me.”

“I’d love that.”

“I miss you.”

My heart warmed. Sometimes I wondered if he really loved me or even really knew me enough to notice I wasn’t around. “I miss you, bud.”

“Okay. Here is Mom.”

My mom came back on the phone, and I could tell she loved our exchange, but I couldn’t ignore the pangs in my heart. “I was actually calling to see if you’d be able to make it back home for a game.
