CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Bowdie

I’ve never been so mad. Not since… not since Cathy died.

This is different in so many ways. I was mad as hell for years when Cathy died, but never once, not even when she was alive, did the thought of another guy looking at her set me off like this. With Beth, I feel different. Beth does something that makes me whole inside in a way that turns me hyperprotective of anything or anyone who even looks like they’re hinting at interfering with what I know we have between us.

With Lucy’s mom, Cathy, I was young and just going through the motions of a relationship. I love her today as much as I loved her then, but we didn’t connect like Beth and I. I lost a friend and Lucy’s mom when Cathy died, but I don’t feel like I lost the missing piece of my soul. That’s what Beth is, whether she knows it or not.

Beth is my one and only. I can see it now, and having to wait all this time to see it is a small price to pay, just like her dad and Lucy finding out will be, too. It seems I will have to work on reigning in my instincts. I can’t go around strangling every guy who looks at Beth, can I?

Beth’s not rattled either, which isn’t helping. I’m supposed to be the mature, older man here. She only looks cuter by the second, hearts in her eyes as she stares up at me adoringly, her hands over her heart.

“I know another place,” I say aloud, trailing off once I realize how much is gonna be involved in trying to keep this a secret while weighing up the so-called “consequences” in my mind. I’m a straight talker. I always speak my mind. Keeping a secret about something I feel so strongly about is not part of how I’m made.

Glancing at Beth and keeping one eye on the road, she’s making that same face as before. She looks like she’s thinking about something apart from us that’s eating her, while it’s clear she’d be better off if it were me doing the eating right now.

“What is it?” I ask her sternly, not wanting or needing any other unhappy little mishaps to ruin what’s already become a challenge of being alone with Beth. It’s like the cue she needs to tell me, though. Before I know it, I hear the steering wheel groan and creak in my hands because I’m gripping it so hard, especially when she gives the shit stain I just grabbed by the neck a name.

“You know the guy?” I ask in a tone of disbelief when she tells me who we just almost ran over, my anger boiling over into my words.

“He-he’s just a guy from school,” Beth quickly adds, but now she has my full attention. I give her a firm look that demands nothing but the truth, and all of it, even if it is gonna kill me.

“He’s… Ugh! I may as well just tell you, even though she’ll freak.
