Thorn

Food has always been Button’s love language, and it pleases me to no end to know that hasn’t changed. Being able to offer her that, even if it’s just quick, cheap drive through food, gives me a high like no other. Doesn’t hurt that I also just get to sit with her, watch her as she talks, and enjoy every blissful second. I parked up here on this little peak about twenty minutes ago and she’s been talking about nothing and everything since, while looking out at the stars above and the city lights below. It’s been peaceful and comfortable, and I hope she feels the same.

We’re heading in the right direction. This wasn’t as hard as I expected. She’ll get to know me and she’ll find she likes who I’ve grown into… I hope. And the thinly veiled heated glances she keeps stealing tell me that she already likes some aspects of this part I’m playing for her. Not to mention the way her pussy weeps for me. Yeah, I think she likes me alright. Now I just need her to love me again.

“So, you like olives, but not on pizza?” I ask incredulously as I watch Sutton take a big bite out of her burrito. “How does that make any sense?”

She shrugs, smothering a laugh as she chews her food, leaning back in my passenger seat like she belongs. And god, she does. I haven’t felt this sort of fullness since the day I lost her at fifteen.

“I couldn’t explain it if I tried,” she breathes out through another soft laugh. “I’ll eat them straight out of the can, gorge myself on olives, but I don’t know, I think they taste different cooked on a pizza. Kind of ruins it for me.”

I chuckle, shaking my head at her. I know a lot about Sutton, or at least I used to, and somehow this topic never came up in our almost decade long friendship. It’s good to know, though. No olives on pizza. Noted.

Leaning back in my seat, I say, “Okay, it’s a little quirky, but I accept. You’re not a complete lost cause.”

She looks over at me in mock outrage. “Oh, and you don’t have any weird… things? Something that doesn’t make sense to anyone but you?” she asks teasingly.

I tilt my head as I think about that. There’s so much she knows about me from our past, so I need to tread carefully here. I don’t want to give myself away too soon and wreck this whole thing. “Hmm, well, I…”

“Yes?” she prompts when it’s clear I’m stuck.

I wrack my brain for something, anything, but I’m drawing a blank. What will be too much? What might clue her in? Fuck, I don’t know. I wrap my hand around my steering wheel, and then it dawns on me. Something I discovered about myself only after losing her at fifteen. Something that became real clear as my life was ripped apart, the pieces tossed into the wind and scattered beyond my reach.
