West

Watching her walk away with another guy, after the conversation they’d just been having, feels as if someone has ripped the heart from his chest and is stomping on it.

Stupid! he chastises himself as his gaze follows her and her friend, Levi. Levi slows his pace, placing his hand on her lower back as she walks in front of him, and they disappear around the corner of a house.

The moment West saw him, he recognized him as the guy from the Hole last week with Jules.

You’re such an idiot, he yells at himself between curses as he climbs into his truck. Her last words are like nails on a chalkboard; they make every nerve in his body itch and curl. They irritate his soul because she doesn’t hate him. She never hated him and he let her walk off with another guy.

He spends two minutes contemplating going after her. He allows himself to visualize telling Levi to get lost and dragging her to a dark corner to beg her to listen. The scene morphs to one where, instead of talking, he kisses her senseless first and then begs her to listen to his explanations. He smiles, this visual a much more accurate scene of what he would do if he had the guts to get off his ass and go after her.

“Damn it!” He slams his palm on the steering wheel and throws his truck into gear; his tires squealing as he peels off down the road.
