“Da away “So you really didn’t touch her this time, Miranda?”

My glare snaps to his a moment before I focus on the road

“Are you for real?”

“What? Don’t act surprised I’m the one person aware this shit between you and Dem is fake, re”

I flip him off and he chuckles

“Every time we’ve kissed it’s been when others are around, played off as all part of the deal, you know? But man, I know that’s bullshit”

“What do you mean?”

“Iread her, bro She’s wanted , several times, and not so people would see It hasn’t been easy, but I heldI wanted to do”

He thinks on that a second before he says, “You kissed her when you were alone”

“I fucking kissed her, and I wasn’t subtle or gentle, and she turned to putty in my arms, Trent She was into it Fully Fuckin’ completely” I know it

I fuckin’ felt it

“I’ the problem here, Nic”

“My point exactly She just froze, and that was it She talked some shit and took off”

“Maybe she freaked out Too much too quick? This was supposed to be fake Maybe she’s not looking for more?”

You don’t have to be looking to find the best fucking thing for you

Sometimes all you have to do is open your eyes and realize it found you first

I glare out the front

“You got a thing for her?” I ask him point blank

“What?! No!”

His answer is instant and I breathe a sigh of relief

“I love Krista I’m happy with Krista and plan to follow her ass around like a little bitch after graduation” He laughs lightly “I like Demi, and I care about her, but no” He trails off, and I cut a glance his way

“What?”

A heavy tension lines his eyes, and he curses under his breath “I gotta tell you so”

“Telldown the road that leads to the airport

He shakes his head, blowing out a long breath “Look, this—”

Trent’s phone beeps

With a sigh, he pulls it fro at the screen

“Goddairl” He shakes his head

“That was Krista?”
