Chapter 21

Is it strange that I have a settling feeling when Lia is next to me? She has sat here, holding my hand and keeping up with the chatter around us. She smiles and answers. My heart falls further and further into my chest.

“So, Lia. How did you two meet?” Jen asks. Lia tenses next to me, her hand gripping mine tighter.

“I stole her. One of my friends was trying to get her number but I slid in there first.” I answer for her. Jen grins. She’s a sucker for stuff like that. I sigh when she doesn’t question us any further. The conversation goes on around us but when I look over at Lia, it all fades. Nothing else matters in this moment. Music blasts through the speakers before I even realize I was staring at her. Everyone else has gotten up and moved on but I’m lost in her.

“Dance with me,” I tell her. Lia turns her head to look at me. Her eyes dance with light.

“Ok.” She shoves out of her chair and waits for me. I stand, taking her hand in mine as I walk us over to the plywood we are using as a dancefloor. I wrap my hands around her waist, holding her tightly. Lia wraps her arms around my neck. I watch her eyes as we move to the music.

“What are you afraid of?” I ask her, leaning into her space. I let my lips caress her cheek before placing a kiss there.

“Of being alone forever. Of what my future holds. Dying to soon.” I pull back to look her in the eyes. Tears fill those beauties and it breaks my heart to see it.

“I can protect you,” I tell her. She gives me a sad smile. She lays her head on my chest as we continue to dance.

“I mean it, Lia. If you let me. I can take care of you,” I tell her. I can hear her sniffle.

“It would be so easy to let you. It would be so easy to say yes but I told you once before, we all have secrets. Mine need to stay hidden,” She says softly. I take a deep breath and blow it out.

“I’ve done things in my past. I won’t say that I’m not proud because I am. It’s just who I am. I wouldn’t want you to be a part of that but the more I’m with you, the more I feel like I need you, Lia. I don’t know that I want to lose that just yet.” The first time in a long time, I’m honest with her and myself. I’ve never said those words before. I’ve never let it go this far with anyone else.

“I’m sorry, Draven. As much as I’d love to say yes, I can’t. Not right now.” Lia tries to pull out of my arms but I just tug her back. I hold her a little tighter as she sobs into my shirt. Running my hand up and down her back, I press a kiss to the top of her head.
