Even if you’re a pain in my ass, I crave your warmth and being close to you. And for whatever fucking reason, I can't get you out of my goddamn head. You've embedded yourself under my skin, and now I think about kissing you every time I'm around you. Not just for the sake of keeping up appearances but because I need to taste you.”

Mia’s annoying laughter brings me back to reality, and I realize how pathetic I am. I have a crush on a man who’s given his kind heart to the devil herself.

Placing one hand on the small of her back, I grab her hand with my other one and interlock our fingers together before pulling her close. Her breath hitches, and when I look into her eyes, it’s only then I realize our faces are only inches apart

DAY 1

A light-blue Chevy truck that looks like it fell straight from an old film slows down in front of me. My lips part when I read Bennett Orchard Farms on the side and meet the deep-brown eyes of the man driving.

You come home at three in the goddamn morning with some fuckface who only wanted to use you for sex, and you’re pissed at me?”

I learned long ago that it’s better to face your problems than to run from them

feelings, and I’m thankful for her friendship. After my nap, I realize

take that as my cue to take a shower.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a long one.
