chapter seventeen

Rhys spun the beer bottle in his hands, his eyes trained on the neon lights reflecting off the amber glass. He was barely aware of Felix moving around behind the bar, restocking bottles and cleaning glasses. Nightcap wasn’t open yet, but it would be in a couple hours.

He couldn’t believe Ana had slipped into Little space last night. He’d been reluctant to leave her this morning in case she felt raw, but she’d promised him she was fine. She went straight to work, and after spending his morning helping out around the shop and talking with customers, he decided to come to Nightcap.

He wasn’t entirely sure why.

“You gonna actually talk, or just sit there all afternoon?” Felix grumbled. Rhys lifted his eyes, finding Felix glaring down at him, a white towel slung over his massive shoulder.

“You were busy,” Rhys said, shrugging.

“Since when has that stopped you from annoying the shit out of me?” Rhys’ mouth tucked up in the corner.

Despite being in his thirties and only about a decade younger than Felix, he still felt like a dumb kid around him. Like he was still unsure of life, and needed Felix’s guiding hand. His smile slowly fell.

“I asked Ana to come on tour with me,” he said, his gaze dropping back to his bottle. Felix was silent for a long moment, then he cleared his throat.

“And?” Rhys shrugged again.

“And nothing,” he said. “She didn’t say yes.” But she hadn’t said no either. Not entirely, right?

“She’s a smart girl.” Rhys snapped his head up, his eyes narrowed as he glared at Felix. His brow lifted, a silent dare to argue with him. “She knows better than to run off with some strange man.”

“I’m not a strange man,” Rhys snarled.

“To her you are,” he shot back. “How would she know you're not?” He opened his mouth to tell him Ana knew him, that she’d been with him every day this week, but that had only been a few days. Did she really even know him?

She had to at least trust him, otherwise she would’ve never shown him her Little self. And she would’ve been a lot less likely to touch him—but did she ever touch him first? No, she did.

He forced himself to think back on all of their interactions. She had to have touched him first. She did last night. When else?

“You’re impulsive,” Felix continued. “When you want something, you do any and everything you can to get it. You have blinders on and won’t listen to anyone until you have what you want.”

“What are you saying?” Rhys asked, his voice low.

“Nothing.” He shrugged and crouched back down behind the bar. “Just make sure you’re who she wants, too.”

If she didn’t want him, she would’ve made it known. It would’ve been obvious. He knew when girls didn’t want him. It was rare, but he knew when it happened, and he knew Ana was attracted to him.

But being attracted to him and actually wanting to be with him were two different things.
