Justin

When I walked out of the York’s house, I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go. I didn’t want to be alone in my apartment. I didn’t want to be anywhere I’d be alone with my thoughts. I also didn’t want to be around people. And I definitely needed to get away from Denver. I know he’s concerned about his sister but there was no need to treat either of us with that much disrespect.

When Angela tapped on my window, all the anger flowed out of me. Despite her small smile, she looked so vulnerable. And when she said what she said, I just wanted to wrap her in my arms and never argue with her again.

I know that that’s unrealistic, and whatever our issues are, we need to sort them out. “Where do you want to go?” I ask as she slides into my car.

“I was going to leave that up to you.” She pulls the seatbelt across her chest, highlighting her breasts. “I’m happy to go back to your place.”

I put the car in gear and pull away. Despite the fact that I feel lighter having her with me, and I’m confident that we’ll sort this out, there is still some tension in the air. We drive, mostly in silence, until we’re almost at my apartment building and I can no longer stand the silence.

“Look, I’m not saying I need to know everything you do. I was just a little taken aback that you never thought to tell me you were going to be in town a week early.”

“I guess I thought it wouldn’t matter to you.” She’s not looking at me. If I wasn’t driving, I’d force her to face me. But maybe she’ll be more open if I don’t push it. “I mean, we’re back in Seattle now, and I’m nothing more than your best friend’s little sister.”

“Angel, I think you know better than that.” Friday night aside, the week we spent together wasn’t just some hot fling, at least not for me. It was the start of something. Something that I desperately wanted to explore. “You’re not just a fling. You’re the person I want to get to know.”

I pull into the underground parking of my building. Angela is still fidgeting with the zipper of her hoodie.

“But that’s not what we agreed to.” Finally she looks at me as I pull into my parking space. “What we had was meant to be just for the week. We agreed when we got back here it would have to be over. Mostly to avoid situations like the one we just had."

Seeing the vulnerability in her eyes, hearing it in her voice nearly undoes me. “So what? Situations change all the time. We didn’t know that this connection would grow this strong.”

“But has it?” She undoes her seatbelt and hops out of the car before I can get around to open the door for her. She looks over the roof of the car at me. “How do
