Chapter Sixteen

Kyle

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we arrived back at campus. We’d had an amazing week together, but so far we’d completely dodged the conversation about what would happen when we returned to real life. I wanted to believe that nothing would change, that we could continue where we left off, but a part of me worried that she’d disappear like Cinderella leaving me with just a glass slipper or something. Jade had slept most of the flight back to Charleston, and I hoped it didn’t mean she hadn’t slept well. I had only gotten a few hours of sleep, but that was different. I never slept much. She stayed quiet while we waited for our bags at baggage claim, and she didn’t break her silence until we were back in my car.

“Are you going into the station today?” Jade asked when we got in my car back at the airport.

“Probably out of habit, but I don’t have to.”

“Want me to go with you?”

“That’s up to you. If you want.”

Her face fell. “Ok, then I won’t.” She turned to look out the window.

“Jade?”

“Yes.” She turned back.

“You’re not reading into that¸ right? I actually mean you should come if you want, but you don’t have to.”

“Yes, of course.” She looked down at her hands in her lap.

“Ok, I’m checking because you seem upset.” Even before our trip I was able to read Jade’s moods. I was even better at it now.

She sighed. “I’m just going to put this out there. Are we going to pretend this week never happened?”

“Of course not.” I shook my head. “I don’t think that’s possible.”

“But what does that mean?”

“It means we should try to make this work.” I mustered as much confidence as I could. I wanted things to work. I wasn’t ready to let Jade go. Things couldn’t return to where they were before the trip. Way too much had changed between us for that to happen.

“I don’t want us to end up hating each other.”

“I couldn’t hate you.”

“You know what I mean.”

“Do you want to make things exclusive? Give this more of a shot?” I’d laid awake the night before thinking about it. I knew I’d lose my cool if I saw another guy with Jade. The thought of one sleeping with her? I wasn’t okay with that.

She said nothing.

“I mean, are you planning to sleep with other guys?”

“I’m not ready for a relationship.” She bit her nail.

“I never used the word relationship.” I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that either, but I knew I wanted to see where things went.

“Then what are you suggesting?”

“We let things just happen—but no sleeping with anyone else.”

“Because I tend to have random sex every night.”

“You were the one who said you were looking for it,” I teased.

“But since you’re providing your services, I’m good.”

“Okay. So we’re good?” I glanced over.

“We’re good.” She looked at her finger guiltily and put her hands in her lap.

“Good.”

“Yeah.” She looked out the window.

“By the way, I changed my mind.
