Chapter 19

Jess

Things have returned to normal for Emma and I. We run, we hang out, go out for dinner, watch our favorite shows, and see who can get the other hooked the fastest. The usual. She feels comfortable around me again. We are back to the cuddles she enjoys, holding hands, and easy affection. We even have a dinner date set up with my parents, who are returning from Italy soon.

Word about our relationship and our dates got back to Mom in record time. We set this dinner weeks ago, knowing it was the best way to hold my mom off from showing up unannounced the minute she and Dad returned from Europe. Or even returning early, which Dad specifically called me about with a plan to prevent.

This included sending updates, letting her talk to my ‘new girlfriend’, and photos of Emma and I—some of which she already had, from who I have no fucking clue, but I’m keeping the drapes closed from now on. Freaking nosey town.

All of the pretend, casualness, closeness, and ease of affection is messing with me.

I now have an inkling of how alcoholics feel when they go to a bar because it’s the same way I feel when I spend time with Emma and her soft, chaste touches. The proximity to her scent alone is like a drug, then she’ll throw an arm around me or put her feet on my lap, mess with my hair. The bottom of the barrel is calling and I’m counting down the gulps as I journey there.

How I’m spending my afternoon is the greatest challenge of all current temptations. Emma decked out in that crazy hot, tight, stretchy athletic wear women own. And I don’t mean possess. I mean, she owns that outfit and every dirty thought it pulls from my mind.

July in this part of California is quite warm as we make our way to the peak of our summer temperatures. We ended up having to change our running time to later in the morning. It’s already over seventy degrees, and while we are only stretching, I can feel a trickle of sweat rolling down my temple.

Emma still looks cool in her second-skin running shorts and cropped running top. I can see everything. It’s also how I know that she is most definitely not wearing underwear under those shorts.

She then goes to do a quad stretch using me for balance.

“You’re hot.”

“Thanks.” I grin, obnoxiously flexing.

“Ha! I meant, you feel hot. Is this going to be okay? I know you’re used to running in the early morning. We can skip it if it’s going to be too hot. It’s my last chance for a run before I head off for the rest of the weekend.”

Emma is traveling to Denver to see her dad this weekend. She doesn’t talk much about him and I get the impression they aren’t very close. She plans on telling him about moving here and starting fresh.

“I’ll be fine. Sweaty, but fine. Be prepared to hose me down before letting me into your house.
