Chapter Ten

I knocked on Landon’s door the next morning. It flew open as I lifted my hand for the second knock. Landon stood in front of me with messy hair, boxers, and eyes brown and natural. He never looked cuter.

“Zela? Are you okay?” He hugged me. “I was up all night worrying about you,” he said into my neck. “What happened?”

“There’s something I need to tell you.” I put my hands on his chest and gently pushed him back. “Please, listen. You won’t want to hug me after this.”

His brows snapped together. “What are you talking about?”

I took a steadying breath. I made up my mind to do this. I walked down the hall certain that this was the right thing to do. I didn’t take into account the impact of just seeing him.

I’m going to lose you the moment I realize you’re all I want.

“Landon,” I began. “I never got over what you guys did to me in the locker room, and if I’m honest, I’ll never get over it completely. It’s going to hurt sometimes. There will be days that I’ll look at you and remember.”

“I know, Zela, and I’ll tell you every single day that I’m sorry if it’ll make things better. More than that.” He took my hands and pressed them to his chest. “I’ll show you every day that I’m sorry.”

“Landon,” I whispered. “You don’t have to. Despite everything, I’ve forgiven you. I don’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way, I forgave you. But if we’re ever going to have something real, I have to tell you the truth.”

The words tried to stick in my throat but I forced them out. “Landon, I got back with you to make you fall for me. The whole time... my plan was to dump you and break your heart.”

Landon’s smile melted away as color drained from his face.

“I wanted to hurt you as badly as you hurt me, but I couldn’t... stop myself from falling for you... and...”

I ran out of steam. I didn’t know what else to say and Landon’s silence was not encouraging.

“I wanted you to know the truth,” I finished. “So...”

Landon did not utter a sound.

“So, I’ll go.” I turned to leave.

“Was?”

I froze. “Huh?”

“You keep saying was and wanted.” A shadow fell over me. “You wanted to hurt me. Does that mean you want something else now?”

Tensing, I swallowed hard. His tone was too even. It gave nothing away.

“Yes,” I replied.

“What do you want?”

“Landon—”

“Tell me what you want, Zela.”

“I just did.” I squeezed my eyes shut and took the leap. “I want you.”

A hand grasped my shoulder and spun me around. I didn’t have a chance to open my eyes before his lips crashed onto mine. My shock lasted a millisecond and then my arms flung around him. We kissed hot and wild and frantic. Landon stumbled back into the room, taking me with him, and kicked the door shut.

Mrs. Clancy banged on the door forty-five minutes later, sounding the warning that Landon had ten minutes to get to the lobby or the bus would leave without him.
