CHAPTER ELEVEN

DECEMBER 26

PIPER

I nuzzled into my pillow. I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. The day after Christmas was supposed to mean after Christmas sales and shopping, football, and leftovers. In McAdenville, it also meant the last day of the Christmas lights. I didn’t want to face any of it. I pulled the covers up over my head, snuggling in. I was going to stay here all day, blowing off shopping with my friends in Charlotte. They were all shopping for New Year’s, and I didn’t want to think about that. Drew would be gone, probably for good. Today was not the day to face that.

I couldn’t get Ellie’s words or that cold stare she gave me out of my head. I knew I shouldn’t let an ex-girlfriend get to me, but I couldn’t seem to stop it. And Drew had been so quiet when he drove me home, his sexy, flirty smile gone. Even his kiss on my front porch was different, his lips sad. I heard my phone ding with a text and reached for it on my nightstand.

Drew: I’m on my way over. Want to spend the day with you.

Me: No, I don’t feel well, staying in bed today.

Drew: Sorry, what’s wrong?

How was I supposed to answer that? How about I’m in love with you, and you’re leaving. Or perhaps, Your ex-girlfriend is messing with my head. I rolled to my side and curled into a little ball.

Drew: I’ll come take care of you.

Me: Not right now.

I felt tears roll down my cheeks. It was all too much. I’d fallen in love with him too fast, and my mind couldn’t keep up. I needed a day alone to think—to think about what I wanted, not what my stupid heart or my overeager libido were telling me.

Drew: But I’m only here a few more days and I want them to be with you, sick or not.

I tossed my phone on the nightstand, frustrated he’d say something sweet like that. I closed my eyes, telling myself not to give in. I needed a day to myself, but I couldn’t spend it moping around. I got up and walked into the bathroom. Brushing my teeth and tying my blonde hair up on top of my head, I decided it wasn’t too late to go shopping. My girlfriends had left already, but I could catch up with them for lunch. I still had plenty of time. Starting the water in the bathtub, I heard my phone dinging in the other room. I kicked the bathroom door shut, refusing to wallow anymore about Drew. I had my own life.

Slipping out of my cami and boxer shorts, my fingers started to remove my panties when a memory played in my mind—Drew’s fingers on me, in me. It was definitely more fun when he took my panties off, which reminded me that I better take my birth control pill. I flipped open the package and popped out a pill, immediately doing a double take.
