I WASN’Taware I’d fallen asleep until a sudden noise jerked me

awake. My eyes popped open, and I spotted Rue standing in the doorway. At the sight of him a million butterflies burst to life in my stomach, but the nervous fluttering transformed into tension when I noticed the expression on his face. He was staring at me and Dusty, and he looked annoyed. More than annoyed. Before I could say anything, Rue made a strangled sound and took off down the hall to his bedroom. When his door slammed shut, I glanced down at Dusty in confusion.

“Why is he mad?” I asked. “D-did I do something?” Dusty shook his head, a little sadly from what I could tell. “No, hon. You didn’t do anything.”

I worried at my lower lip with my teeth for a second. “Should I… should I go talk to him?”

Dusty pulled away from me and stood. “Just go on home, hon. I’ll talk to him.”

My forehead wrinkled as I watched Dusty walk away. What had happened? I didn’t understand any of it. All I knew was I didn’t like the idea of Rue being mad at me. I wanted him to be happy. I wanted to be the one to make him happy. I’d been thinking about it a lot lately. The fantasies I’d been having weren’t just about sex. I dreamed of holding him, kissing him, lying together and watching a movie, the way I had with Dusty. But I had no idea if Rue wanted that with me too.

The temptation to go try to talk to him was strong, even in spite of what Dusty had said. What held me back was that I had no clue what I would even say. Rue talked and laughed and seemed to enjoy spending time with me, but I couldn’t tell if there was anything more to it than that. We were friends, and maybe I was the only one who wanted it to be more. Not that I knew the first thing about being in a relationship with someone. I supposed it was better to keep quiet about it and spare myself the potential humiliation.

Feeling lost, I shut off the TV and reluctantly left Rue’s apartment.

Chapter 8

Rue IT HAD been nearly a month since that night when I came home and found Erik and Dusty and had the biggest ridiculous queen tantrum ever. God, I was an idiot. I wished that night had never happened, and after I heard Dusty’s explanation of the events I felt even dumber. It didn’t matter anyway. Regardless of how I felt, Erik had been right to comfort Dusty, and Dusty had every right to have feelings for Erik. They were both single, and neither of them belonged to anyone. I wanted Erik to belong to me, though… at least I thought I did. Most of the time. I wasn’t used to feeling so awkward, so unsure of myself. I hated it.

The main problem was I still didn’t know how to act around Erik, or Dusty for that matter.
