“Hey, Peaches,” I don’t open my eyes as I continue to lie on the break room couch. I hear him sit down on the coffee table. “How are you?”

“My eyes and throat feel like they fought a cheese grater.” I croak out. “Are the police gone?”

“Yeah, baby, they took the fucker. Well, they will. He has to go to the hospital first for treatment.”

I remove the damp rag from my eyes. “Treatment for wh–oh fuck.” Between my lack of glasses and my injured eyes, I can’t see much, but what I do see is a busted lip and a bruising eye. “Br–”

“Don’t,” he waves it off. “He got a shot in, and I’m not happy about it,” Brooks mutters before taking my rag and heading to the sink. He comes back and folds the freshly cooled rag over my eyes. “I’m sorry,” he whispers softly, and I hear so much regret in his voice it pulls at me in a way I’m not used to.

“For what?” I ask softly.

“I should’ve protected you. I didn’t think–”

“You mean you weren’t prepared for some guy to throw pocket sand at me?” I joke while reaching my hand out. I grab his hand, intertwining our fingers. He inhales sharply, and it sends a jolt through me. Like despite all the sex, this is the most intimate we’ve ever been.

“Stevie,” he breathes and fuck, that is affecting me in all the wrong ways.

“Brooks, do not feel guilty about this, alright? You couldn’t have known.” I hear him shuffle, and I know he’s mentally beating himself. I pull our laced hands towards my chest and place his hand over my heart. “You feel that? If it’s beating, then I’m okay, and you did your job.”

“Stevie, it’s more than a job, damn it.” He growls, and I feel his thumb stroke over my heartbeat.

“I know it is Brooks,” I admit nervously. “But I need it not to be, alright?”

“Why? Why won’t you let me l–”

“Hey Stev- oh,” Fuck, Janie. Ripping my hand out of Brooks, I sit up, my rag falling into my lap. I don’t need even decent vision to know the bitch is grinning. “I was, ummm… going to see if you would like Brooks to take you home.” She tries to hide the snicker in her voice, and it’s now I know I must end my best friend. I love Janie with all my heart, but her mouth is massive, and all of our friends will know what she saw before I reach his Jeep.

“Yeah,” I relent while blinking slowly. Fuck, it hurts. “Do you mind?” I ask Brooks like he really has a choice. He shakes his head before standing up.

“No, Peaches, come on.”
