Chapter 16

Two weeks later, I’m stuck. Seriously stuck. I have two major projects, and I have a partner for each, which would be great, except my partner in Chlorokinesis is Damon, and my partner in Plant Healing is Sage. Normally, I would actually be thrilled by that, but even Sage is starting to make comments about my hanging out with Damon, just as Damon's continuing about Sage. Having to spend time with them because of the projects just makes the two of them irritable.

Orchid thinks this proves Sage does like me and wants me to ask him out.

Wren and Dahlia think it's romantic, and I swear they want to eat popcorn each time I return from a session to hear all the nitty gritty details.

Bay, not surprisingly, disagrees with orchid and wants me with Damon. It almost makes me wonder if she wants me to be with the half-demon because she wants me to turn darker and be more like her, but that’s ridiculous, right? I haven’t flat-out asked her because I’m not certain I want to know the answer.

I don’t know if Orchid’s right about Sage because, while it’s interesting to try to walk back and be friends with Sage, I can’t help thinking about him naked or the feel of his arms around me, the pressure from his kisses… At least once, he’s caught me staring at his lips. Now that had been awkward, and I practically just upped and flew away.

Tonight, I’m meeting up with Sage in his cottage. I haven’t been over to Damon’s, even though he’s asked me to a few times. I’m not sure if my refusal is because I don’t trust Damon or because I don’t trust me. Does this mean I trust Sage? I don’t know. I’m so confused. Right now, I just need to concentrate on getting good grades. Lately, they’ve been slipping some.

Sage flies out the window before I can reach the door. “Hey. It’s a beautiful night out. Want to fly around and see if we can just talk things over?”

My eyes widen wide.

“About our project,” he continues.

Of course he doesn’t mean about us. I shake my head. “Sounds like a good idea,” I agree.

We start to fly, but neither of us says anything. He glances over at me and shakes his head.

“What?” I ask.

“You need to start talking.”

“About?”

“Why you’re so uptight. We’re friends, right? You can talk to me. Unless it’s guy trouble. That would be a little awkward.”

“More like a lot awkward.” I laugh, but it’s a little forced. He’s probably thinking about Damon, which I can’t blame him, but I do appreciate Sage’s reaching out.

“Well?” he prompts.

I blow out a breath. “I really need to do well on this project. My grades have been slipping, and it’s eating away at me.”

“Can’t focus?”

“No, I can’t, and it’s not because of guys.” I give him some side-eye.

“No? What then?”

“Nightmares,” I admit.

I bite my lower lip. Last year, Sage told Bay about a nightmare he had, back when he hadn’t realized Bay and I were two separate people.
