Danika

I press the rim of my bottle to my lips and take a sip. I’m already in a pissy mood.Travis ended up asking me on another date, one I wasn’t too keen on accepting until I remembered that I told Logan we were going out again. And what happened? The jerk made me take an Uber across town to this shithole of a bar just to stand me up! And of course, Logan has to show up, seeing me in all my pathetic glory.

He pulls the stool beside me back. “I never pictured you to be a dive bar kind of girl.”

“What are you doing?”

Logan shrugs and flashes me that crooked grin, the one that sends a jolt of heat through me. “Call me crazy, but a pretty girl like you shouldn’t be sitting alone at a bar. There’s a lot of weirdos out there.” He winks and points a finger to himself.

I roll my eyes and finish the last of my cider then set the empty bottle on the bar. “You hate me. Remember?”

I don't think Logan hates me anymore, but it’s easier to fight my feelings if I pretend that he does.

The smile falls from Logan’s face. He turns towards the bartender and holds up two fingers. The guy behind the counter hands me another cider and Logan a beer. “I don’t hate you, Danika. I tried to for years, but the feeling never stuck.”

“Oh.” I grab the cider he’s bought for me and take a sip. Heat climbs my neck, tinging my cheeks red. Hearing him say those words out loud sends a ripple of goosebumps down my arms. I gulp down half the bottle, using my spinning head as a distraction from the feelings I don’t want to deal with.

“I do, however, hate what you did with Molly.”

There it is. I set my drink down and suck in a fresh breath of air. I pull a ten dollar bill from my purse and set it on the counter. My cider couldn’t have been more than three or four dollars. That should cover both of them and a tip. For a split second I thought we could do this, hang out, but of course the past has to rear its ugly head and ruin everything.

Logan reaches for my wrist as I stand. It doesn’t matter that my skin tingles with his touch. We’re obviously not at a point where we can hang out as friends. “Where are you going?”

“Home.” I glare at that pretty face and notice him wince from the bite in my tone. I don’t mean to be bitter. He does that to me; brings out my best and worst qualities.

“I’m sorry,” Logan pleads. “Please don’t leave. I’m out having a celebratory drink and it’s far less pathetic if I’m not by myself.”

Reluctantly, I take my seat again because I’m a sucker for Logan. Never able to push him away or say no. Why do first loves have such power over you? “One drink.”

He reaches for his beer again, a grin the size of Texas on his face.
