Any thoughts I had about escaping to Portland for a few days melted away as I read her message, trying to decipher any hidden meaning.

Me: Sure, I’m down. Noon?

Meg: Sounds great - see you then!

No matter what was going on within me right now, I knew I wasn’t going anywhere—for now.

Chapter 16

Meg

After confiding in Mia and Ashley about Aidan, I’d made an effort to keep things lighter—and less combative—with him. Try to be friendly, and more open with him.

I was pretty sure I was failing miserably.

Maintaining my usual cheeky banter had also become more difficult, because I’d found myself analyzing every damn word I said, speculating over how it might come across. I didn’t want to necessarily give the impression that I might be opening up to the idea of something more with him—because honestly, I still wasn’t sure if I was ready for it.

But I also didn’t want to appear completely disinterested, either.

I had no idea, though, how to navigate a balance between the two—so it was no wonder that Aidan appeared to have no idea of how the hell to take me over the last few days.

Seriously, it’s like I need a communication guidebook or something.

“Is something wrong with you? You’re… smiling a lot more lately.” It was Tuesday, and Aidan appeared to be studying me, one eyebrow cocked, as we sat at the bar going through final booking details.

I looked up from my notebook. “No, why would something be wrong with me? Do you have a problem with smiling or something?”

I knew the mature thing would be to actually talk to him about what was going through my head—but I didn’t want to, dammit.

“Ok, lass. I don’t believe you, but I’ll pretend that I do.” Aidan shook his head in amusement. I noticed how his jaw had clenched slightly, as though trying to keep his shit together. My fingers itched to reach out and touch the stubble, soothing the muscle there in reassurance that I wasn’t a total crazy person.

“Anyway,” he continued, appearing to steer back towards our original topic—until I cleared my throat.

“... actually, can we just call it here for the night?” I interrupted. “I’m not feeling my best, and we can go over everything else before karaoke on Thursday.”

“If that’s what you need, sure,” he shrugged, standing up from his seat. “Just text if you need anything. The boys and I will probably just be working on some things for the band.”

After he left, I breathed a sigh of relief—not to have him gone, but to have space to get my emotions in check before the evening rush. A few local teens had expressed interest in tonight’s open mic event, and I wanted to be prepared for whatever chaos that would entail.

But I knew the real chaos I needed to deal with was the mess going on inside my own head. Because despite agreeing to make an effort towards just being friendly with Aidan, I was finding it harder and harder not to keep replaying our night together.
