Chapter Ten

Jase

Holly’s couch fucking sucks. Period.

I’ve been tossing and turning on this little thing for the better part of two hours. It wasn’t made to sleep a six foot man comfortably. Around two a.m. I turned on the TV and muted it just so I could try to distract myself. The problem is the brunette sleeping on the other side of the closed door is more of the distraction. I wonder which side of the bed Holly prefers. I itch to run my hand along the side of her face while she dreams. I long to feel her smaller body pressed firmly against mine.

I finally sit up and turn the volume on low. This is the time I’m usually winding down each night, so when Holly decided to take Brooklyn to bed around nine-thirty and stay in there with her, I know I was in for a long night. That didn’t stop us from texting each other from a room apart. I smile as I watch late night reruns and think about our bantering back and forth. Her head on her pillow in the next room; my head on the throw pillow on the couch – just me and my hard on.

And to top it off, I have yet to steal my first real kiss.

I scrub my hands over my tired face. Damn I have it bad.

I grab my phone and type out the quick text before I can even think. I can’t stop thinking about you.

There. Sent.

Pussy.

I set the phone down quickly and grab the remote, searching for anything other than Seinfeld. My phone buzzes a second later so I grab it, smiling at the name on the screen.

I’m having the same problem

My fingers type. What are you thinking about? Send.

Our date, she sends back a few seconds later.

What about it?

I think we should go to the Mexican Restaurant in town. Less people.

I will take you wherever you want to go as long as you’re there with me.

It takes her a few minutes to reply, but when she does, I’m not prepared for her honesty. I’m scared at how fast I’m developing feelings for you, Jase.

I suck in a jaded breath of air. I’m fucking terrified, too. But the thought of not having you in my life is more terrifying. I don’t know what all this means yet, but I want to find out.

I do too, she texts. It’s music to my damn ears. It’s a beautiful melody that I can’t get out of my head. Holly wants to give this a go as much as I do.

Sleep, beautiful

Yes, sir ;)

I set my phone down and lay back on the couch, trying to get comfortable, but knowing that Holly is literally on the other side of a wooden door and not halfway around the country is doing crazy things to my heart. It’s beating wild in my chest. I long to touch her, smell her hair, and taste her lips.

I toss and turn for the next thirty minutes, lost in the images of Holly sleeping feet away from me.
