Chapter Fourteen

Jaxson

We were unwinding after a busy shift used to be the best part of the night. At closing, there were four people left, plus the manager. There were two servers and two bartenders. Occasionally, someone would get let go early if we weren’t busy, but that was rare.

Left Turners was a local hangout and had a good crowd no matter the day of the week. Tips were always good, and my shifts went by fast. After the last patron left, there was stocking up, and before clocking out, we gossiped.

I wasn’t feeling up to any of it that night. All I wanted was to go home with Evyn and just be with her. We unlocked something neither one of us could have prepared for, but I would not take it back for anything.

The moment I touched Evyn, I became whole, the puzzle piece I had been missing sliding into the last remaining spot finally. Life seemed right for the very first time, and I held onto that with everything I had.

Halfway listening to some random ass conversation about pineapple pizza while closing down the bar, I sensed the moment something changed with Evyn. Watching her through my peripheral vision, she was relaxed and smiling one minute and severe and tense the next.

Fuck, she was retreating into her head, and I had no clue as to what set her off. However, I did know I would do whatever I could to get her mind on something else, something more substantial, something stronger, something that was everything.

Us and the life we will have.

There was no doubt in my mind that we would have a beautiful future. Becoming friends with a female and then hooking up was something I never did. Since she had been working here, I was her friend. I’d tried the flirty persona I perfected first, but she saw through that shit and blew me off.

I could not say that had ever happened to me before, and she intrigued me immediately. At first, I thought it was because she played hard to get, and I liked the chase. I was wrong. The banter that flowed between us was natural, as though we had known each other forever.

We did not share our pasts. It was all about who we were at that moment in time, and that meant so much more. Knowing Evyn’s history was essential to learning where her head was at, but knowing the strong independent woman she had become was sexy as fuck.

Understanding her, hearing her story, thinking about who she was when we met, she turned me on even more with her ability to escape the situation she was forced into, making her chosen way in this world. I was positive at the moment she was contemplating leaving town and starting somewhere else again, but I refused to allow that to happen.

She was not alone anymore, and the sooner she saw and understood that, the fucking better. She could not leave me and what would be. The future was a tricky bitch who could go any damn way she pleased, but I would not be a bystander.
