and throw my arms into the air and do a twirl, ‘spend ing the night, going to dinner, cooking eggs. Snuggling with, and making me feel-“ I stop before I go too far over the line, gushing stuff about the undeniable feelings beginning to grow at a rapid pace for Leo.
He rubs his hands down his face in exasperation and stays silent. This is sending me into a panic, I have gone too far and have just ruined the best thing that has happened to me in like ever, and I mean ever. The few flings I have had were casual at the most and nowhere even close to the amazing sex Leo had given me last night.
He clears his throat standing he crosses over to the coffee pot, pouring himself another cup . He sets his cup down on the counter resting his hands on either side of the cup, lowering his head, ‘Avery I thought we had agreed not to read too much into this?”
Chewing my lip almost to the point of bleeding, ‘we had, I know but this feels real Leo.” His sudden movement to stand stops me.
“Avery baby,’ he turns, ‘please can we just keep it simple. You said you were okay with no expectations, no planning, just spending time together enjoying each other’s company.”
Nodding at the thought we had agreed, ‘I just have to know for my own sanity because Leo, I am a very jealous person, I don’t handle sharing well. Very much like you I suppose.”
He cocks his eyebrow, ‘bad experience?”
Groaning, ‘oh, you have no idea.”
He circles the island taking my hand studying it, ‘tell me about it.” He gazes up and his eyes are sincerely interested in my story.
Trying to tug my hand away in a moment of self conscienceless, ‘no just tell me Avery,’ he smiles up at me, ‘tell me how jealous you are.” He seems a little turned on by my admission.
Slumping down hoping to hide for the complete embarrassment I am getting ready to put myself through, ‘I was in college and met this guy, that’s how it always starts right, oh I meet this guy.” Waving my hand in the air, Leo smiles at me making me feel important and what I have to say means the world.
“ He seemed real great in the beginning, sweet, caring and very attentive. We dated for our freshman year and then half way through our sophomore year he started making excuses and skipping out on dates-“I us my fork to push around the remnants of the eggs I had left in my plate looking for the next words to explain my stupid insecurities.
“ Did you sleep with him?” Leo angrily interrupts me.
Looking e verywhere but in his eyes, ‘yes, anyway he started ignoring me finding other things to do, flirting with girl’s right in front of me. One day I had my fill and stormed up to his dorm room and found him in bed with my roommate, the one before Piper.” I jerk my hand free from his vice grip. Rubbing the soreness from where he had been holding it a little too tight.
He doesn’t comment so I fill the space, ‘she had been the one who continued to rally behind him and encourage me to keep giving him chance after chance after chance, bitch.”
Leo laughs, ‘yes, my thoughts exactly. Have you dated since?” he reaches for my hand again.
“ No, not seriously.” I hope he sees why I have to know who, what, when and where and basically anything else I can get out of him or nail down with certainty.
He stills turning my hand over in his and kissing my palm, ‘Avery , you are the only one.”
I gasp and squeezing his hand in return, ‘really , you are serious?” My heart flips in my chest and begins to beat double time backwards. I try to tamp down my excitement by chewing on my bottom lip. I am acting ridiculous, I have known this man for what, three days and I am already acting like a love sick teenager around him.
“Yes Avery, am I?” I look at him confused, ‘I have to ask.”
“Of c ourse Leo no question, you’re the only one.” My answer is a little too fast and a bit too eager but it is too late to take it back. I winch waiting for
