Crawling through the library shelves, knowing I’ll never hate myself as much as I do right now. I’m an idiot, not only for showing up but for asking questions I damn sure don’t want to know the answer to. The way she kept looking up at me was making me nervous. I couldn’t watch her eyes taken me in like that anymore. Those blue eyes slipping from my lips to my eyes, barely blinking, like she was seeing me for the first time. Blinking slowly as she licked her lips, making me feel crazy. Making me feel like I have a chance. The way her eyes widened, her lips wet and slightly open as she read the first few lines made me want to press my mouth over hers. It had me dying to taste her lips.

She deserves better, and yet, I can’t stay away. Just thinking about her makes me feel all kinds of crazy. Those eyes get me wanting to do things I ain’t never wanted to do, and a few things I’ve done once or twice. She isn’t like the few girls who’ve given me the time of day. Easy, loud girls who smoke as much as I do, drink as much as Ma and wear layers of makeup to cover up the scars this life has givin’ ’em. I’ve had a time or two in my truck bed with those girls; Sloane could never be like that. But the thought is enough to make me want to run right out of here, the very idea of her lying back in my truck bed, whispering my name as I pull her shirt over her head, as I kiss those perfect, pouty lips. I had to get away, but before I did, I had to push her away, otherwise, I’ll never be free of her. I did what I’m best at. I pissed her off. Lying on the hard floor, staring up at the patchwork ceiling, I regret it. There’s no doubt if she gives me a chance, I’ll take it. If she ever speaks to me again, I’ll jump on it. Even if she doesn’t, I’m not sure I can stay away. She’s tearing me I two, and I don’t know which side will win … the side that wants to protect her from myself, or the side that wants to make her mine.
