“It is?”
“Yes. I want you to be happy, Sian. That’s all I want, for you to be happy.”
She finished her coffee, placing the cup on the ground between her thighs. “I don’t know if I can ever be truly happy, you know? So I’m going to try and make the most of it.”
“Heather wouldn’t want you to be sad.” Not that I was any expert on people’s emotions. I rarely knew Heather. Before Sian, I only knew Heather as the genius student. The poor scholarship student who was wicked intelligent. I didn’t truly see her, nor did I know her.
“You all keep saying that.”
“It’s true. Would you want her to be wasting around if that had happened to you?” I asked.
“Of course not.”
“Then don’t do this to yourself or to Heather. In fact, it damages the memory you have of her, and that’s all you’ve got to live with now. Memories. If this was Heather sitting with me, what would you tell her to do?”
“William, come on, you can’t ask me that. It’s not the same.”
“She’s gone and I get that it hurts, but what would you say to her? Amuse me.”
She released a sigh. “I’d tell her that it wasn’t her fault. That I love her and I wanted her to live out her dream the best way she can.” Tears fell down her cheeks.
I reached out, swiping them away. “You don’t need to feel guilty for wanting to live, Sian. No one would want that.”
“How did you get so smart?” she asked.
“I know what to say from time to time. You want to get out of here?” I asked, glancing around at the sterile perfection.
I liked to mess things up a little bit, and there was far too much neatness going on.
“What do you have in mind?” She wiped at her cheeks again, and I smirked.
“Come on.” I took her hand, leading her out of the garden toward the front where my car was parked.
“Don’t we have to tell anyone where we’re going?”
She was so sweet.
I shook my head. If we started to tell people, they would want to come, and even though that wasn’t a problem, I wanted her all to myself.
It was still early, but rather than head off to Billy’s where I wanted to take her, I drove us toward the shopping mall that was a good hour’s drive from Gideon’s house.
By the time we got there, it was close to lunch. My cell phone was blowing up, but I put the thing to silent. There was no way any of my buddies were interrupting my time with her. I parked the car and climbed out, intending to help Sian out her side, but she was already joining me.
I locked the car and took her hand, leading her through to the main mall.
“I’m starving,” I said.
“I could eat. I went without breakfast.”
“Coffee for breakfast, hard core.”
She giggled. “You’re such a doofus.”
“An adorable one?” I asked, batting my eyelashes.
She shook her head, but I loved the sound of her laugh.
The mall was already busy, and I took her to the food court. I checked over the menus until I came to a place that supplied vegan options. I ordered from the same menu.
“You surprise me,” Sian said while we waited for our order.
“Why?”
“You eating vegan food. It’s … different.”
“I’ll eat anything.” For some reason, I had the image of her pussy in my head. Her legs spread out in front of her, holding the lips of her sex open for me to taste.
My dick went from flaccid to stiff in what felt like a heartbeat.
Putting Sian in front of me in an effort to hide my stiff prick, she leaned back against me. Her ass rubbed against my dick, and I froze.
“Er, William?” she asked.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“You’re hard.”
“Don’t go announcing it to everyone. They’re all going to want a taste of me.”
She threw her head back and laughed.
We moved together as our order served up. Sian, being the darling that she was, put my food on her tray and thanked the waiter. I winked at him as we made our way toward a clear table.
I let her go when we were in privacy.
“So is there a reason you … you know?”
“I love it when you blush.”
“Don’t.”
“I can’t help it. You’re just so cute.”
“Please stop.” She covered her face.
I grabbed a fry and popped it into my mouth with a moan. “So good.” I added some ketchup to my plate. The burger looked interesting. I wasn’t sure if it was trying to be a burger or a giant mushroom.
I watched as Sian picked hers up and took a large bite. The utter rapture on her face made me want to see it as I fed her my cock. My head was going to all kinds of dirty places today.
