When I leave the AA meeting, I head straight for our apartment building. After a quick stop at my place, I descend the stairs down to Sadie’s.

I knock on the door. There’s no answer. The lights inside are off. Anxiety grips my gut. What if I’m too late? What if some other chap had the good sense to get here ahead of me, before I could get my head out of my arse? Maybe that tosser ex-boyfriend of hers.

I drop to the top step of the creaky staircase and bow my head into my hands. Jealousy and worry kick up a violent flurry inside of me.

But before long, I hear the door open behind me, creaking on its hinges. My heart soars. The girl steps out, wearing a tunic covered in watermelons—smiling watermelons—and matching pants. Where the hell do they even sell shit like that? There’s a basket of dirty laundry topped with textbooks propped against her hip. Of course. Laundry day again.

That makes me smile.

Her expression does not reflect my amusement. She gives me a ‘what are you doing here again?’ look. I stand.

"I was printing a ticket for the movies tomorrow night and I accidentally printed two.”

An ironic sound sputters past her lips. “You could have asked for a refund.” A wet tendril of dark hair falls across her cheek, framing her perfect face. She must have been in the shower when I first knocked. With an angry movement, she pushes it back into place.

“I’ve decided to invite you to come along with me instead.” I throw her a lopsided smile. “Come along with me...Look at it as repayment for the sugar."

The corners of her lips draw tight. Her eyes narrow with determination. She tries to brush by me. The soft flesh of her arm grazes mine and it just about drives me mad. “I’m done playing these games with you, Xavier,” she grinds out.

Hurt feelings and unfulfilled expectations throb in the space between us.

“Sadie—”

“No!” she holds up a hand. “Look, Xavier—I like you. I’ve done a really bad job of being subtle about it. And if you don’t like me too, that’s okay. But what’s not okay is you stringing me along and—”

Before she can get another word out, my hands are cupping her cheeks and my mouth is puckered hard against hers.

She’s startled.

Her lips part to gasp and I steal the opportunity to slide my tongue against hers. I kiss her deeper, licking into that smart mouth, tasting her the way I’ve been dreaming of since the day I met her.

My hands slide down over her breasts and I feel those nipples tight and erect for me. I get an image of us in bed, with me on top of her bared body, tasting those perky nipples. I groan deep in my throat and suck her plump bottom lip between my teeth as my arms circle her waist.

Her knees weaken and the basket of laundry tumbles from her hand, bumping its way down the stairs, scattering clothes and books every step of the way.
