Fucking A

I was falling in love

"You okay?"

I couldn’t answer My throat wasthe back of his knuckles overand cleared ed a smile "I’m fine JustI don’t talk about the attack thataway "I’ve noticed Am I supposed to ask you about it? I don’t really knowthat area Should I just let you talk when you want to? Shit Maybe I shouldn’t even be asking you this right now" He looked so torn, and I took pity on hi just fine I don’t like to think about it, honestly, but I know I have to, and when I need to talk, I will"

He nodded "Okay Well, I’estured between us, a half-grin appearing "Ifantastic, but I’m here for the serious stuff, too"

I s to say"

His half-grin formed into a full one, and he leaned over He whispered, his lipsmine as Ih, opening the door and getting out "Right Totally PC, too"

"You’re da him a small wave "I’ll talk to you later"

"Have fun with your friends Call ht Otherwise, I’ll call later"

I nodded and then headed in as he pulled away There were people outside the diner who’d recognized Shay and his Jeep, but I ignored the looks as they watchedit’d be like that for the rest ofhim

The diner wasn’t too crohen I went inside Most students were just arriving back that day It was close to noon, and I had no doubt the place would be packed in the evening Everyone would want to catch up with their friends

Kristina and Casey waved from a back booth Sarah and Laura were there, and they turned to give ot to the table "You’re only two minutes late Holy shit, woman I was for sure you and that hot man of yours would try for a quickie" She whistled "I’ into the seat beside Sarah and across froe pizza was on the table, and everyone had one or two pieces on their plates I asked, noting the pizza didn’t look touched, "Is this the second pizza you ordered?"

Kristina nodded "We were hungry"

Casey grunted "We were hungover Pizza cures that shit"

Sarah and Laura laughed, grabbing their pieces to nibble on

"Did you have fun last night?"

Casey choked on her piece "You’re going to have to be irl lives a pretty active life"

Kristina’s cheeks pinked, but she rolled her eyes "Last night, movies at Shay’s house Did you have fun?"

"I did Did you?"

She nodded "Linde’s a lot of fun He’s a good guy"

Casey asked, "Is he single?"

I frowned "Why? Are you interested?"

Casey lifted up a shoulder "Maybe"

I frowned again "What about my brother?"

"You want the details on your brother’s love life?" Sarah laughed as she asked me

I didn’t, but I saw the look in Casey’s eyes I was thinking I was going to find outher elbows on the table "I have a thing for your brother I don’t think he has one for me I haven’t talked to hie to back off, but he hadn’t, and then I stopped caring

I was thinking back over the holiday "I don’t reirls ere home Usually, he’ll mention one or two That’s why you asked about Linde?" I didn’t wait for her answer I dropped uy"
