Chapter Twenty-one

Was it possible to look peaceful and sexy at the same time? Only Andrea could look this amazing while sound asleep. It was cute how she slept with three pillows. One for her head, one to wrap her arms around and one beneath a bent knee. The sheet covered her bare hips. Her torso and legs were exposed in the early morning sunlight. Riley adjusted the settings on the camera and took a few shots from different angles. She zoomed in a bit and took another of her from the shoulders up. She couldn’t resist capturing her sleeping beauty.

“Don’t think I don’t hear the click, click, click of that camera. Sweetheart, some things are for your eyes only.” Andrea rolled over onto her back and yawned.

Riley snapped one more shot and then set the camera on the table before climbing into the bed. Andrea rolled over and snuggled into her arms.

“Did you ever think in a million years that we’d find each other again?” Andrea asked. She trailed her finger up Riley’s arm.

“I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and it will all have been a dream and yet, here you are, right next to me when my eyes opened this morning. Like a gift I get to enjoy over and over again.” Riley kissed the top of her head. “Being with you feels amazing. Your touch is electric.”

“Do you remember when it all clicked that we were more than the best of friends?”

“I not only remember the exact moment that we admitted it to each other, but also the way my body felt that evening and all that night. I used to listen to girls talk in class about how some guy made them feel all tingly. How their eyes would glass over and a stupid grin would spread across their face. I never understood what they were talking about because I certainly never felt like that. Until that night on the couch sharing that bowl of popcorn. My world tipped off its axis that night.”

“That night also started unedited. You’re the only one in this world I can be one hundred percent unedited with. I remember you saying, ‘Nope, stop overthinking it. Be unedited, Andi. Say exactly what’s on your mind. You can fix the words that don’t work later.’” Andrea chuckled.

“Was that supposed to be my voice? Because I sound like someone’s dad.” Riley laughed. “I haven’t had unedited with anyone else either. I remember every single detail of how unedited came to be.”

“Yeah, tell me what you remember. I’ll decide if you’re right.”

“We were freshman in high school. It was a Friday night after a home football game and we were at my parents’ house down in the basement watching a movie. It was chilly down there, and we were sitting next to each other on the couch sharing a blanket. Mom had made us popcorn. We both reached in the bowl at the same time, like we had done a million times before, except this time when our fingers touched, you pulled your hand away superfast.
