Chapter Fifteen

Morgan

Well, that was a disaster. I lean my head against the back of the booth while I barely listen to Aiden ramble on about something that happened last year at a football game. I’m not sure what part of I don’t like football he didn’t get.

“Morgan? Are you even listening?” He asks, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Yes. Sorry. I’m listening. I’m just distracted.”

He huffs and glances over at the booth that Ryder and Greyson are sitting in. “I’m sure that’s what has you fucking distracted.”

I turn towards him. “Excuse me?”

“Well, it seems the night was going just fine until we got here, and you saw him.” His voice is almost a whine now, and it’s really getting on my nerves.

“Not that it matters, but I was distracted before we got here. Not to mention, I told you I didn’t care for football, yet that’s all you want to talk about.” I roll my eyes and glance at the door. I look over at Ryder just as he’s looking at me, and it’s almost like we’re the only two people here.

“Oh, excuse me for trying to talk to my girlfriend about the shit I like. I didn’t know it was a fucking crime.”

“Look. I don’t like the way you’re talking to me. I’m not going to put up with that shit. So, either get your act together, or I’m leaving.” I snap at him.

“Sorry.” He says, but it isn’t really sincere. “I was just trying to make conversation.”

My eyes soften. “It’s alright. I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention. I don’t know what’s wrong with me tonight.”

He puts his hand over mine, “It’s fine. I can take you home If you want.”

“I think that would probably be for the best.” I admit, and I don’t miss the sadness that passes over his eyes.

Maybe I wasn’t ready to start a relationship after all. It’s not Aiden’s fault that I can’t get my shit together.

The drive to my house is quiet, and kind of awkward. I feel bad for ending our date abruptly, but I just wasn’t feeling it tonight.

“I’m sorry for what I said tonight. I hope you don’t think that I’m like that all the time.” He says to me as he puts his truck in park.

“It’s fine. We seem to both be a little on edge tonight.”

He leans over and kisses me. This kiss is a little different from the others we’ve shared. It’s almost as if he’s pushing for more, but there is no way I’m ready for that.

I pull back. “Okay, well, thanks for tonight. Sorry it didn’t go as planned.” I say awkwardly as I reach for the door handle.

He grabs my arm before I can get out of the truck, and I tense up.

“I’m sorry too.” He says, and it seems like he’s sincere about it.

“Don’t worry about it.” I say quickly and hop out of the truck before he tries to talk to me some more. I need to get some distance from him.

The house is dark, and I’m alone.
