Thirteen

Colt

Is she serious with the description of the food, the flushed fucking look, and now eating a fruit shaped like a cock? Both Cash and I can’t take our eyes off the damn girl. I wish she were more like those freaks from the island. It would make this easier, make hating her easier. You don’t hate her.

How can anyone fucking hate her? She’s adorable one minute and feisty the next. I’ve always loved playing with fire, and I can tell her blood runs hot. When she said, “I don’t wish harm to you, Colt, let’s hope we both survive each other,” I felt like she dropped a match in my gas tank.

“Tell me what Eli is to you?” Cash asks, the burning fucking question racing around my mind. I shouldn’t care. I hardly fucking know this girl. But when she froze up and lost her mind about him being something to her, I nearly lost mine too.

She squirms at the question, a bloom coloring her neck.

“Eli is my best friend—was Clara’s too.” She peels the skin on her banana back further and takes a bite, chewing and swallowing. I watch her neck move as she does.

“Best friend,” Cash repeats, taking a swig from a water bottle.

Well, that’s not too bad. I thought she was going to say her husband the way she tensed up. A wave of relief I’m not going to dissect washes over me.

“She never spoke of him.” Cash frowns.

“Is that it?” I ask, moving toward her, crowding her in. “He’s your best friend, that’s nice.” I take her banana and throw it in the trash. My balls are painfully tight in my slacks.

Exhaling a long breath, she shakes her head. “No, we’re more than friends.”

Fuck.

“What do you mean more?” Cash asks.

“He asked for my hand in marriage.”

She talks like a lady from the eighteen hundreds.

It shouldn’t make me feel like putting my fist through the wall. This is ludicrous, yet here we fucking are. “Is that why you ran away?” I ask, my tone biting.

“Partly,” she dips her eyes to her lap. “Eli has always had plans for us since I was thirteen years old and he gave me my first kiss.”

I knew she was familiar with intimacy. She didn’t flinch away from contact like I remember Clara doing with my brother. “I thought you weren’t allowed to be intimate with each other before marriage? Clara said that included kissing.” Cash frowns.

“Eli doesn’t mind breaking that rule, and I…” she sighs, “I’m not like my father. I don’t believe as he does. I think life should be experienced. Sensations explored. I want passion, adventure. I want to live.”

I knew there was something different about her. You can feel her need to explore and discover what she’s been missing out on. There’s an aura all around her.

“But you didn’t want this with Eli?” I ask.

“I didn’t feel that with Eli. There has to be more. I can’t believe what I feel when I’m with him is desire—passion is love.
