“Can’t be if you won’t let it.”
I didn’t say a word. Luke turned and walked toward his truck. Libby walked up, and Luke said something to her. She looked at me with such sadness on her face as she began walking over to me.
“Where are you going?”
I looked at my beautiful sister and smiled. “Oklahoma.”
“You’re really going to go there and not be home with your family? Mom is going to be devastated. Alex is going to be devastated.”
“I need to do this. I’m sorry, Lib. I need time to think.”
“’Cause you haven’t had enough time in the last month?”
I stepped away from my truck. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. “I love you, Lib. Give Mom and Dad a hug and kiss for me.”
“What about Alex? What am I supposed to tell her?”
“Tell her I love her.”
I walked over to the driver’s side, opened the door, and climbed up into my truck. I started it and began backing up. I looked at Luke standing behind Libby as they both watched me drive away.
I need this. I need time away from everyone. I need to learn to breathe again.
I sat down on the bed of my truck and began eating my turkey sandwich. I couldn’t help but notice Allison, Callie’s cousin, walking over to me. I sighed inwardly and wished like hell that she would get the hint that I wasn’t interested in her.
“Hey, Will. How are you today?”
I shrugged my shoulders and took another bite. I looked her up and down. I couldn’t figure out how in the hell she was wearing short-ass shorts and a tight T-shirt when it was forty-two degrees outside.
“Aren’t you cold?” I asked.
She giggled and jumped up next to me. “A little, but you could warm me up.”
“I have a girlfriend, Allison.”
She frowned. “You do?”
My heart instantly began to hurt. I shook my head and looked at her. “I, um…well, we broke up…I guess.”
She laughed. “You either broke up, or you didn’t. If you did, then I have a hotel room key here for you. I’m pretty sure you want to know that I’m not wearing any panties right now, and my pussy is dripping wet for you.”
My mouth dropped open. “Uh…”
She began moving her tongue along her upper lip as she raised her eyebrows. “Will, tell me you don’t want to fuck me, and I’ll walk away, but I’m pretty sure if I were to touch your dick right now, you’d be rock-hard.”
What the hell?
I couldn’t help it, but I started laughing. “You’re kidding with me right now, right?”
She smiled and shook her head.
“What type of guy would actually go back to your hotel room after you just said all of that?”
Her smile instantly faded. “Excuse me?”
I jumped off the tailgate of my truck. “No, Allison. Excuse me. I need to be somewhere, and it certainly is not in your hotel room.”
