Chapter twenty-one

Via

The night was long with Ander. It was a night filled with deep conversations and laughs, and we were consumed by one another as if no time had passed between us. Every bit of it was perfect, even though he held out on me, which made it pretty damn difficult.

I look across the room at the shirtless, perfect man strumming on his acoustic guitar that he grabbed from his truck earlier this morning. As he sits in boxers, I have to stop myself from drooling. He's singing me one of the songs he clearly wrote about our teenage romance, and I can't help but feel that we are coming full circle. I can't believe I've never heard any of these songs before now. After our first date, I did my deep dive search, and he totally underplayed his success. He's had multiple record label offers, all of which he's turned down.

His voice draws me in, and I can't ignore him. He strums on that guitar so effortlessly, like it's second nature, just like he always has. The teenage version of me is swooning inside, hanging on every strum and word that rasps out of his perfect mouth.

"Why have you turned down all the record label offers? Your music deserves to be heard, Ander." My words are soft and careful. I already have a sense of how he feels about this.

He stops strumming as he leans over his guitar, and his eyes meet mine. His face is serious, like he's deep in thought. He's so different than I am. I'm quick to respond to everything.

He shrugs and finally, after processing my question long enough, "You know me, V. That was never what I was after. My songs were only ever meant for one person."I arch an eyebrow at him curiously. I lean back in my chair, seated across from him in my living room, patiently waiting for him to continue.

"You, my Rosie. Most of my songs are about us, about our love, about the grief I felt when I lost you. They were never meant for anyone other than you. I'm not looking for fame from them. I like writing them. It helps me to process how I'm feeling inside."

I stare at him for a beat. It's my turn to soak in his words and process. Part of me is instinctively freaking out inside as I realize I can't hold back from him any longer.

I want this.

I want everything with him. I always have. It's always been Ander and Via against the world, but that other part of me knows this is a bad idea. The part of me that craves him seems to be winning.

"Do you want to go on an adventure with me?" He asks, interrupting my thoughts. I can't help but let out a laugh. He smirked smugly as if he knew something that I didn't know.

"Well, look at this shit, Anderson Cole wants to be adventurous? What's gotten into you, Mr. TikTok?" I tease him playfully as the laughs spill from me.
