CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: Hayes

I’d lost track of time and spent less and less time obsessing over who I was and from where I’d come. Three and a half weeks had gone by and according to a calendar on his wall from a gas station named Howard’s, the date was now late June. I’d lived with Bo since Memorial Day weekend and we’d slid into a comfortable routine.

The days rolled into one another as we got to know each other better. Bo was incredibly attentive and loving. He was affectionate and made any excuse to touch me and impress upon me how he felt about us. That I knew of, I’d never been half of a duo so filled with romantic gestures, but then again, did I truly know that? He couldn’t seem to get enough of me and I loved how his attentive ways made me feel inside. I believed Bo cared because he showed me every moment of every day we’d spent together. I was past wondering about my feelings for him. He was everything I desired in a man even if I didn’t know what my experiences had been by that point of my life.

And his way of showing how he cared for me wasn’t just physical. Bo took care of me and watched me thoughtfully as he gathered intel on what made me click. I noticed him studying me carefully like he was compiling the information he needed to be the perfect man for me. I worried that I wasn’t doing my part because he made me his sole priority, and I didn’t think I’d ever been a part of something so caring in my past or if I possessed his skills at love. Of course, I couldn’t be positive about my past experiences with men, but his ways with me were extraordinary and I craved what he provided.

He caught me staring at him all googly eyed. “What are you thinking about, cutie,” he asked, leaning forward for a kiss.

“I’m going with you today,” I insisted, returning his kiss and watching him get back to sorting his fishing gear.

“Not yet, baby,” he responded, once again putting me off. “I’m checking pots today and they’re quite a ways outside Port Royal Sound.”

“I’m going,” I stated emphatically. “I know you’re freaked out that I might panic out there but I won’t. I want to join you at your job, Bo. I can’t keep living off of you.”

“You’re not living off of me, baby. I like taking care of us.”

I sat beside him on the dock and leaned into his shoulder. “I like that you take care of us too, but you should know I don’t think I’m that guy, okay? I instinctively know that you providing for me long term will not work for our relationship, Bo. I need you to understand that.”

“Our relationship?” he asked, skimming past every other word I’d said in my statement. “Are we in a relationship? Like a long-term relationship?” he teased. “I mean, you did say long term, right?”

I laid back on the dock and yanked him on top of me.
