Chapter Twenty

Christy

After getting dressed, I meet Alex in the lobby.

“Mind if we stop by the mall?” he asks me as we walk to the car. “I need to pick up some new shoes.”

I shake my head as he opens my door for me. “I don’t mind.”

If I’m being completely honest with myself, I don’t care where we go today as long as I get to spend more time with him.

He grins at me and our bodies brush against each other as I slide into my seat. I hide my shiver of pleasure as he closes my door for me.

Damn, if I’m not careful I’m going to be drooling all over myself again.

Alex continues to grin as he slides behind the wheel and pulls us out of the parking lot.

Seeing him so happy and relaxed outside of the gym is a new thing for me, a good thing, and something inside me swells to know he’s enjoying being with me.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve felt like such a burden, forced to rely so much on him. I sensed he was only putting up with me because his own sense of honor demanded it or something. He couldn’t just leave me to fend for myself because his conscience wouldn’t let him.

But things have changed since he kissed me. It’s like that tension between us has evolved. Frustration has transformed into anticipation.

As we drive, I keep sneaking little glances over at him.

When will he kiss me again?

Waiting for it to happen is going to drive me crazy.

He’s pulled back since we were called back to the gym. Yet I don’t get the feeling it’s because he regrets what happened. No, it feels like he’s giving me space, but today I don’t feel like I need it.

I want him to kiss me again, I just don’t know how to make it happen.

Maybe he’s waiting until tonight, or maybe he’s waiting for me to give him a sign.

If only I had more experience with men, I’d know how to put things into motion…

I’m so distracted that when we reach the mall I somehow let Alex talk me into letting him buy me not one but two new pairs of shoes. He claims the shoes I’m wearing are gross and I need a pair solely for running. He’s not wrong but I still don’t like him spending his money on me.

I already owe him so much.

After winning the argument over the shoes, he pushes me into letting him buy me a few new pairs of yoga pants, and before I realize what’s happening, I’ve got an entire new wardrobe.

“It’s too much,” I tell him as we eat cheesesteaks in the food court. Our table is surrounded by bags filled with clothes for me. I’ve got new yoga pants, leggings, running shorts, tank tops and sports bras.

“You’ll pay me back,” he says easily before taking a big bite out of his sandwich.

“How?” I ask before popping a french fry into my mouth. I chew quickly then swallow.
