i’m right where i want to be.

owen

Her car is gone by the time I wake up in the morning, but it’s fine, because I woke up with a renewed determination to not let the opportunity of tonight’s event slip by. I’m gonna keep showing her what she could have here. With me. And if in the end, she decides that she doesn’t want it, then fine. I’ll learn to let her go. But she’s going to know exactly what she could have before she makes the decision.

If there’s even a small chance she still wants me like I want her, I’m taking it. Because I’ve seen the way she looks at me and how flustered she gets. The blush on her cheeks gives her away every time. She might be able to put on a mask for other people, but not for me. I know her. And I’m going to do everything I can to keep her.

I check the rearview mirror for what must be the twentieth time since I left Ojai to make sure my tux is still hanging up in the back seat. I keep running through the list of things I needed to bring, wondering what I forgot, but there’s nothing. I pat my pocket to make sure the one thing I didn’t want to forget is here. It is.

Lately, I just seem to live in this constant state of mild anxiety. But I’ve got everything. I did what I needed to do.

I rub at my sternum, trying to ease the pressure there. It seems to be coming from everywhere, this compulsive weight trying to pull me under, but I’m determined not to let it.

The closer I get to LA, the more nervous I get about tonight. I haven’t heard from Maeve since she took off after the meeting with Jessica yesterday, and her words to me after the shower incident keeps playing over in my mind.

Time to put on the performance of your life, O—pretending to be madly in love with me.

She has no idea I won’t have to pretend. No. My plan for tonight is to act exactly how I want to act around her. Touch her the way I constantly need to, without holding back.
