“I have to tell you something,” I said after I called Maggie later that night.

Maggie was quiet and I realized how I came across. God knows what those words sounded like to her.

“What?” she asked quietly.

“Maria called me,” I told her and then waited.

But the reaction I received wasn’t anything that I had been expecting.

Maggie started laughing.

Huh?

“Uh, what’s so funny?” I asked, completely confused.

Maggie snorted. “Jesus, Clay, I thought you were going to tell me something really horrible. I mean, Maria sucks, but shit…okay…” Maggie started laughing again and I started laughing with her.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to freak you out. I just thought you’d be pissed,” I said once she had calmed down.

“Pissed? Why would I be pissed?” she asked.

Had I entered some crazy chick alternate universe? Or was I walking into a trap without realizing it?

“Because Maria was a bitch to you? Because she made it obvious she wanted to sleep with me? Because you have every right to ask me not to see her?” I supplied.

I could almost see Maggie rolling her eyes. “Clay, Maria’s got some fucked up issues. I get that. But I trust you. Yeah, I don’t trust her, but that doesn’t matter. She’s not my boyfriend. You are.”

I sagged in relief, not sure I deserved her understanding. “If it were Jake calling you, I’d be fucking livid,” I admitted, feeling ashamed.

Maggie didn’t say anything for a moment. “Yeah, well, that has more to do with the things you’re dealing with than with me or our relationship. You know you’re the only guy in my life. So sure, you’d be angry, but I would hope you’d trust me to be faithful to you,” she said quietly.

Trust. Such a hard thing to give when you had been burned so much in your life. But if being with Maggie and living with Ruby had taught me anything it was that there were people in your life that you could trust.

“I don’t deserve you,” I said quietly.

“Clay, when will you realize that you deserve the world?”
