Hunter

I couldn’t help myself, seeing her standing there with that doctor; it had me all kinds of pissed off. Secret admirer? Hell no, there were no secrets here. I wanted to pound that smile right off his face.

I knew she would be here. Maggie mentioned it when I went in to get a hot tea for Stephanie, but I had to admit it was perfect timing that they were talking about my flowers, though. It looked like the heavens above are looking out for me, finally.

I couldn’t believe she was on a first-name basis with him, what the fuck?

I probably could’ve given them a little privacy, but fuck him. Why don’t you go ask her for yourself? Why don’t you go fuck yourself, Doctor?

I pulled out my phone and stopped my inner musings while trying to pull myself together. I was sure it was nothing. She was probably just being the sweet Jules I’d known her to be. There didn’t seem to be anything romantic going on, was there?

They were just talking about her mom’s health. Get it together, Hunter. They approached a few minutes later.

“Sounds good, sorry I wasn’t able to answer all your questions, Jules. It was great seeing you again, Hunter,” he said.

I nodded without looking up. “Great seeing you too, Doc.” I wasn’t sure why I was being such a dick; he really didn’t do anything wrong.

Jules’s feet came into view, and I heard her take in a deep breath. Good, she was nervous. Any feelings are a plus, I thought.

“Hunter, you should probably loosen up on your phone there; your fingers are losing color.” She was teasing me, another good sign.

I looked up to see the full view of her for the first time in eight years. She was even more beautiful than I remembered. Photos and memories have not done her justice. I smiled up at her. “Jules.” Her name came out as a whisper. The confidence I projected earlier had vanished, and I was back to that awkward high school kid again.

I got to my feet with my heart in my throat. I was staring, but I didn’t care. It had just been too long, and I wanted to take in every inch of her. She was gorgeous. Her hair was longer and darker than I remembered. I cleared my throat. I couldn’t believe how nervous I was. “You look amazing. How are you?”

She looked down at her hands and shuffled her feet just like she always did.

“Hey, look at me.”

She looked up with tears in her eyes.

I didn’t want her to cry. I pushed her hair behind her ear. “What’s wrong?”

She shook her head. “I just.” She reached up to touch my beard and smiled. I guess I looked different. I forgot about that.

“You like it?” I hoped she did. I could shave it off, but I’d gotten used to it.

She laughed softly. “I do. It suits you, and I like the longer hair.” She ran her fingers through the strands, and my eyes closed at her touch, but her hand was gone too quickly.
