Chapter Thirteen

HUDSON

I feel myself starting to drift. My eyelids heavy. It’s been the longest day, in the best fucking way possible.

After spending the afternoon on the beach, we headed over to Beach Side where Lennon thought she would be funny and order us shots of tequila.

One shot turned into four. Coupled with the fact that we had been drinking nearly all day, we were both stumbling a bit by the time we left the restaurant.

We did manage to sweat most of the alcohol out of our systems shortly after we arrived home.

Forcing my eyes open, I glance at the clock on the bedside table. It’s just after one in the morning. I’d thought about sleeping for a couple hours, but I knew it would make leaving near impossible if I did.

Knowing I need to get going soon, I look down to where Lennon is curled into me. Her legs tangled with mine, arm draped over my middle, her head lying on my chest.

I push her blonde hair to the side, giving me a better view of the side of her face. She really is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. And what makes her even more so is that she has no clue just how beautiful she is.

She stirs against me and I reluctantly take that as my opportunity to lift her head from my chest and slide out from beneath her. Trying to be as careful as I can not to wake her, I use the pillow that was propped behind me and place it underneath her head before removing her arm from my middle and managing to untangle our legs.

She adjusts a couple of times, then rolls the other way. Her back’s now facing me, but she doesn’t wake.

I don’t know how long I stand there in the dark, watching her shoulders rise and fall with each breath she takes. Remembering the last time I did this exact same thing in this very same room.

It feels like a lifetime ago. Yet as I look down at her it’s almost as if no time has passed at all. She’s still the same smart mouthed, beautiful, confident woman she was five years ago.

I wish I could say I knew her well enough back then to be able to note all the ways she’s changed over the years but I didn’t. Despite how well I felt like I knew her at the end of that night, the truth is I didn’t. Hell, I still don’t. But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s already changing me. I can feel the pull to be with her. I barely know her, yet here I am, thinking I’d rather chop off my arm then walk out of this room right now.

I glance at the clock again. I have eight hours to get back to Atlanta. If I don’t leave soon I’ll never get there in time.

Letting out a slow breath, I place one knee on the bed and lean down, laying a soft kiss to the side of her head.
