Chapter 20

Shriller

T

he next morning, I stare at Alex like a crazy obsessive person. The sun just came up and the sunlight woke me from one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had for a long time.

Alex has her head in the crook of my right arm and is completely dead to the world. She’s fucking beautiful.

Her eyes flutter open and she pushes my side with one of her hands. “Hey, Creeper. Watching me sleep?”

I laugh, “Well, you look so damn purdy with your messed-up sex hair and running mascara,” I say teasing her.

She fluffs up her hair to make it messier. “You love it.”

I smile and turn to pin her body under mine. “Yeah, I do.”

As she looks up at me, her smile fades quickly and a single tear falls down her cheek. Shit. “What’s wrong?”

She wipes the tear with one hand and grips my bicep, that I have propped up to not put all my weight on her, with the other.

“I think you need to go back to L.A.” The words are simple and shouldn’t have a huge impact. I live there after all, but her tone rips my heart out and she adds, “Back to your life, Shriller. And I have to give this thing with Chris a real chance.”

Fuck. It feels like I’ve been punched in the stomach as I roll off her and onto my back. Alex stays on hers also, laying right next to me, both of us stark naked, but that’s still the last thing on my mind.

I told her everything about me last night. Shit no one knows. Shit I have never talked about.

“And last night? What the fuck was that? Some sort of goodbye?” I ask.

Alex turns on her side, propping her head up on her hand and I turn my head to look into her sad eyes glistening with tears that haven’t fallen. “I don’t want to hate you anymore. And I really don’t want you to hate me. I want our friendship back.” Her voice is quiet and raspy from just waking up as she adds, “I want to be able to call you for any reason without it being weird. Like we promised.”

I roll my neck so I’m facing the white ceiling above us. “So, it was sort of a goodbye.”

“Maybe. At least to this part, but I want you in my life and not just at family events. Just tolerating each other. I want to do what we originally said and just go back to the way we were.”

“You really think that’s possible?” I ask her.

I feel her hand on my arm in an attempt to comfort me. “It’s us. I think it is.”

I move so I’m lying on my side, facing her. “So, this is the last time we are ever going to wake up next to each other?”

She smiles subtly. “Naked? Yes.”

I brush the tattoo on her bare hip with my fingers, “That’s a shame. We’re hot together.”

“That’s the thing. We burn too brightly. Us together would be too chaotic, constant fighting and fucking.
