Chasing a woman that would inevitably hurt me was the stupidest move I could make, but I had to try. After she left, I was on edge and snapping at everyone. Poor Janet took the brunt of my bullshit. The day had dragged on. It was close to midnight, but I had to see her. Gemma needed me whether she admitted it or not. Seeing her cry destroyed me. If she were mine, she’d never be alone.

When I looked in the mirror, I had that same stupid expression Dean wore when he talked about Arielle. The steam from the shower couldn’t hide the truth. I was a love-struck idiot. I wanted to kick my own ass for being so fucking dumb.

“Wipe that smile off your face. Gemma isn’t yours.”

But she could be. She should be.

Every time I saw her seemed to steer me towards that inevitable conclusion. We belonged together. For whatever reason, we fit. I had to convince her to move back to Lakeside and be mine. Not just for a week or two. Forever.

This might be our chance to live the life we had dreamed about as teens. We’d planned to get a place on the lake and fill it with kids. Maybe that’s why after she left, the thought of having a family of my own seemed revolting. When Kirstin had brought up having my baby, I’d ended things. I couldn’t picture anyone other than Gemma as the mother of my kids.

I dismissed those thoughts, finished dressing and grabbed my phone. Instead of sending her a text to check in, I called. The phone rang three times before her generic voicemail told me to leave a message. I ended the call and redialed. She answered on the second ring.

“Hello,” her groggy voice made me feel like crap for waking her.

“Tell me where you are?”

“Blake?”

“Do you have other men calling you after midnight?”

“No. It’s late. I’m in bed.”

A vision of her naked body sprawled across the bed made me smile. The first time we’d made love wasn’t in a bed. We’d been too eager to even get fully undressed. Gemma never asked for my heart. I’m pretty sure I’d scared the shit out of her when I promised I’d love her forever. The scariest part was how much I’d meant those words. The years hadn’t diminished my feelings.

“I’m coming over.” I locked the back door of the shop and jumped on my motorcycle.

“You’re what?”

Her voice seemed more alert. I was glad to have her attention. My intention hadn’t been to wake her, but I couldn’t leave things unsettled for another night.

“I’ll be at your parent’s place shortly.”

“Don’t go to my parents. I’m staying at my grandfathers.”

“Even better.” I hung up, turned the key in the ignition, and my bike roared to life.

Each minute that passed made me wonder what the hell I was doing, messing around with a woman that had the power to crush me. A few interactions, and already I couldn’t imagine not hearing her sweet voice or seeing her beautiful face again.
