GAGE

“OVERNIGHTER, EH?” MACE’S smug-ass grin greeted me the moment I got in the door.

“Fuck you.”

He raised his hands and backed off before coming at it from a different angle.

“Haven’t received any complaints from Lil Bean this morning…”

I flicked my middle finger over my shoulder as I angrily jabbed buttons on his stupid coffee machine.

“Whoa, go the fuck easy, bro. Don’t take your bleed out on my woman!”

I added another jab just to get my non-existent point across and grinned when I heard his pissy growl behind me.

“Thought you’d be in a better mood today?” he ventured.

The urge to rant climbed through my veins and Mace must have realised he was walking a fine line. I turned to face him while my coffee made itself, and my expression alone must have been enough for him to work out that shit went down.

“Please tell me you didn’t.”

“Didn’t what?” I bit.

“Leave on bad terms.”

Fuck he was annoying me. Taking my time to sip the scalding coffee then run my fingers through my hair, I leaned on the bench and looked him square in the eye.

“I didn’t. I left in the fucking friend zone.”

And it was my own goddamn fault.

I was being held back and didn’t know how to break the cycle.

Mace scoffed a laugh then slapped his palms on the bench. “Is that what they’re calling it these days?”

“Fuck you.” I took another sip. “You really wanna know what happened?”

“Yup.”

“Nothing, that’s what. I had her laid out on her back and, fuck, I was all but in her, then I freaked out. A huge block came over me and when I looked down at Lil, I fucking saw...” Telling him this was killing me. “…I fucking saw Lot, and, and…”

And it fucking killed me and broke my heart further than it already was.

Mace’s hand came down on my shoulder and squeezed hard. “Mate.”

“It’s fucked up, cuz. How is it even possible to not be able to have sex with someone I want to for the first time in three fucking years! As soon as I touch Lil it’s like she lights fireworks under my skin and all rational thought goes out the window. I practically want to fucking eat her!” I yelled, much to my horror when Mace started pissing himself laughing. “You know what I mean, asshole. And I all but did before an overwhelming sense of guilt consumed me. I ended up on the goddamn couch,” I mumbled, so deflated I couldn’t even look at Mace.

“You ever… you know, fucked the grief from your system?”

I winced at his words, remembering that single time with Heidi.

“There was one, a mutual friend, not long after, and it was a colossal mistake for both of us!” I admitted. My anger swiftly followed the memory; it was such a desecration on Lotte.

“And since?”

“Nothin’,” I confessed, the words leaving a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.

“You need to sort your shit out before even contemplating taking things further with Lil. My guess is that she accepted it for what it was, after your talk with her this week?”

I nodded.
