⊱✿ ✿⊰

Even after Vidalia lets down her guard and gives me a chance, I still can’t let her go home.

All I need to do is fake a call from my club and tell her the guy is no longer a threat. I can drop Vidalia at her house and make plans for a date. She’ll tell me yes because she looks at me like I’m crack and she needs another hit.

Why do I keep my mouth shut for the rest of the day? Fuck, I really am a spoiled bastard. I don’t want Vidalia out of my sight. Besides, after spending the last few days together, dating would feel like a step back.

I need to see Vidalia when she first wakes in the morning. The way her eyes seem so small when she first stumbles out of bed and how they widen and brighten once she gets a strong cup of coffee into her.

That’s another thing! I know what Vidalia wants to eat and drink. The shows she doesn’t want to watch or music she can’t stand. I can provide everything she needs without her saying a word. How many dates would it take to reach the same comfort?

When we go to the backyard in the late afternoon, I apply sunscreen on her pale, freckled face. Vidalia laughs at how careful I am, but she doesn’t swat away my hands. She trusts me in a way she never could if we met and dated like normal people.

Heidi texts me twice after leaving the house. First, she gives Vidalia a thumbs-up. The second message is where my little sister annoys me in her usual little sister way.

“Time to take her home. Be normal, will ya?”

Looking up from the phone, I smile at Vidalia’s peaceful expression as she sits on the bench next to me.

“Not yet. Go away,” I text to my sister.

Heidi must have been ready with her response because it comes seconds after I hit send.

“She likes you for saving her. See if she likes you for being you. Take her the fuck home!!!”

“Leave me the fuck alone!!!”

Heidi goes silent for nearly a minute and then types what I don’t want to see.

“Mom and Dad are coming home. Good luck explaining your crazy stalker bullshit.”

I imagine my sister snickering at how I’m in big trouble for doing what needed to be done.

What Heidi doesn’t understand is that Vidalia would never have given me a chance. Worse still, she never would have given her heart a chance. All those years thinking something ugly about love, she’s boxed herself into a life alone.

So my method to win her over is crazy, but it fucking worked, and I’m a man who believes in results.

I win. Vidalia wins. Everyone fucking wins. What is the damn problem?

Except if I was so certain about my certainty I would fess up to Vidalia. Or at least bring her home and roll the dice on if she’d still want me.

Despite having a solid relationship with my mom, sister, and other girls back in Ellsberg, I’ve never been good with women.
