4 Penny

"You gonna tell me what happened or just spend the whole day moping around?" Libby leaned again the wall smirking at me, effectively blocking my way back toward the kitchen.

I'd come inside to try and clear my head. Libby and Owen's parents had insisted on throwing a holiday barbecue, since Owen wouldn't be in town for the actual holidays. I'd wanted to turn down my invitation, knowing Ethan would be there, but I knew that'd have been rude.

So instead, I'd spent the entire time doing everything I could to stay as far away from Ethan. It was bad enough I hadn't been able to stop thinking about him since this morning. I still couldn't believe I'd let him do that to me. No, that wasn't quite right. I hadn't let him do anything to me. I'd wanted it just as much as he had.

Still, it was hard to believe I'd had sex with a guy in the shop. I'd never done anything like that before. I'd never even considered doing anything like that before! And, worst of all, it was probably the best sex I'd ever had.

God, that man had my head all kinds of screwed up.

"I'd rather not," I finally said when Libby made it clear she wasn't moving out of my way any time soon. "I'd rather just try and pretend I never met Ethan Hubble, if it's all the same to you."

Libby let out a bark of laughter. The look she gave me had me looking down at my shoes in embarrassment. "Girl. You have never once let me forget about Kade. So don't think I'm gonna just drop this. If you like the guy, go for it."

"You know I can't." No matter how out of this world the sex was, I could not let myself get involved with a soldier. It was just heartache waiting to happen. Losing my father as a teen had crushed me. I could only imagine what it'd do to me if I lost a husband. Mom had never been the same after that, and I was pretty sure Dad's death was part of the reason for Mom's passing a couple years later. She just couldn't go on without him.

I didn't want that kind of thing hanging over me.

"You should at least talk to him," Libby continued. "The poor man looks like someone kicked his puppy. If you really don't want to be with him, then fine. But don't you think you should at least tell him why?"

I let out a sigh and nodded. Libby wasn't wrong. I was kind of being a bitch for pushing him away like that. Libby and I had been friends since we were little girls. She'd spent so many nights over at my house. Mom had treated her like a second daughter, helping teach Libby some of her black heritage. And after my parents died, her parents had treated me as one of their own. Which meant I'd spent a lot of time with Owen and Kade over the years.
