Kicking open the door to the motel room, I cursed when I saw that there was only one bed. After a nine hour drive, I just wanted to collapse and not worry about it. Instead, Jessie and I were being forced together like magnets. Probability said that the more time we spent together, the more I'd want her because of the physical attraction, that it was only a matter of time, but this was too much.

"You can take it," Jessie said. "I can sleep in the car…"

"Don't be stupid," I said. "Take the bed."

She just shrugged and dumped her bag on the floor by the far window. Deciding I'd feel better after a hot shower, I disappeared into the bathroom and stood under the water for what seemed like hours before finally dragging myself out. I'd have to face her sooner or later and hiding in the bathroom wasn't the best course of action. I was dying to call Zoe and tell her what for.

Pulling on my boxers and t-shirt, I cracked the door open and let my eyes run over the bed where Jessie was curled up under the covers, fast asleep and in darkness. All of these feelings were pooling in my heart and I didn't know what the hell to do with them. Calling Zoe would have to wait until tomorrow.

I didn't know what part of me didn't get her a separate room. Maybe the dark part that still wanted to screw her senseless. I climbed onto the bed next to her and lay on top of the covers, my back to her sleeping form.

I could've just slid underneath and pulled her back into my chest, breathed her in so deep I'd never forget her scent. I could've turned her over and kissed her awake, but it wouldn't mean anything. It was just my body trying to control me, to sate itself. My heart wouldn't be in it and my heart is exactly what I wanted to use.

Jessie was right. I couldn't hate her forever. I didn't have it in me to hate. Closing my eyes, I let sleep take me and hoped I would feel better about it in the morning.
