Right now, itâs our time. I should tattoo those words somewhere on my body. I donât ever want to forget hearing them.
I didnât think Summer would want to come back to my place, but her face and body language told me differently.
She suggested we take the waffles to go. She smiled when I offered my house. She jumped into the car before I could open the door for her.
She was excited.
About whatâ¦Iâm not entirely sure. There are things we need to discuss. But for the life of me, I have no idea where to start.
I wanted to be in a space where she could feel comfortable to speak freely, and we can talk easily. My home is private and secure, with state-of-the-art security and hi-tech features. While we set our bags down on the kitchen island, Summer takes a glance around. Sheâs impressed. And I mentally high-five myself, knowing that Iâve started to prove that Iâm worthy of her.
Yet I have no idea how to approach the things we need to talk about.
âWhat happened with Sebastian?â she asks while sifting through her bag.
Sheâs not wasting any time.
While I was take out plates for the waffles, she opens the containers. Weâre working in harmony â to get our bellies full of waffles or get to the crux of why weâre here, Iâm not sure which. In any case, getting ourselves situated feels like a dance weâve been practicing.
Exhaling a huff, I wonder what to tell her exactly. Everything, Evans. Easily said. Not easily done. But I know she is anxious to clear the air.
âSebastian has had quite a year,â I start, knowing the last time she saw me with him was at the bar before he passed out in my car. I gather the utensils and glasses from the cupboard. âHe pushed his limits too far, my father finally caught up to him, threw him in jail for four days, and straightened him out somewhat.â I shrug my shoulders then take a long whiff of the waffles. âThey smell so good.â I smile at her. Her return smile melts my heart.
We move ourselves over to the table. âWhat did he do?â she asks.
I pour blueberry syrup all over my stack of waffles. âHe tried to rob a liquor store.â
Summer halts mid-slice. âHow did he âtryâ to rob it?â
I shake my head. âHe stuck his finger in his jacket like a makeshift gun and held up the clerk, saying he wanted the expensive tequila for free to impress a girl.â Heâs ridiculous. âHe was laughing the whole time, like an idiot.â
âThatâs absurd,â she said, taking a bite and rolling her eyes in ecstasy.
âHow are the waffles?â I ask, chuckling.
âMouthwateringly delicious,â she smiles. Those words make my adrenaline pump.
Her smile is radiant, but I have to continue or weâll never get through this. âYes, Sebby is absurd. But he had it coming.â I take a bite. âIn all honesty, I think he wanted to get caught.â
âWhy would he want to get caught?â
âTo get my fatherâs attention,â I say flatly.
