what’s the matter?” Gavin removes his hand and his concerned eyes lock with mine.
I open my mouth several times only to close it without saying anything. “Are you sore?” he questions. I am sore, but I wasn’t going to allow that to prevent me from a sex-filled day with Gavin, but he plans to leave me and run to her.
“You’re leaving?” He’s watching me with a strange expression as I’m secretly willing him not to lie to me.
“Something came up. I wanted to spend the day with you, but unfortunately that’s not in the cards now.”
I’m not in the cards, but Carly is. “Oh. Okay.” I push down the lump in my throat and fight back the tears that threaten to fall. I’m not heartbroken. I haven’t known Gavin long enough to be heartbroken, but I’m certain I’m feeling something very close to that emotion. He didn’t technically lie to me, but he’s not being honest, either. He’s doing exactly what he claimed he was done doing...running back to her.
“I have a lot of homework to get caught up on, so this works out perfect,” I lie. And I hope like hell he’s buying it.
“I’d ask you to take a shower with me, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my hands to myself if I do.” His beautiful smile is beaming down at me, confusing me even more.
“I’ll take one when I get home,” I say as I move from underneath him.
“I’ll be quick.” He doesn’t wait on my response. He heads straight to his bathroom and seconds later I hear the water running.
He’s washing me off him before he goes to her. I sigh as I gather up my clothing. Leeta’s comment sounds spot on and the crazy part is, I believe Gavin. I believe in his mind he’s done with her, but his actions say otherwise.
I use the hallway bathroom to get ready. As I look around, I find myself once again wondering how a single, twenty-four year-old man lives here. Everything is perfectly clean. He has throw rugs on the floor. His soaps are pink flowers sitting in a cute, pink soap dish. Pink. Maybe this is Carly’s touch. Maybe she used to live here, or maybe she still does...when they’re on again .
I step out of the bathroom and head down the hall where I find Gavin standing in practically the same place he was talking to Carly. “I’m ready.” He turns and once again smiles at me. Damn, he’s so freaking sexy.
Gavin grabs his keys then walks over to me. I think my acting skills have taken a turn for the worse because he suddenly looks concerned.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. I’m tired and I’m dreading my homework,” I lie again. I guess we’re both racking them up today.
He nods his head but his eyes haven’t lost their worried look. Either way less than twenty minutes later we’re at my apartment and he acts like he’s about to come in, but I stand in front of my closed door, blocking his path.
“Thanks.” I wince as I turn my face away from him. Thanks? Seriously, did I just thank him for fucking my brains out then the very next morning lying to me?
“Are you sure you’re okay?” His brows are bunched and his eyes are pleading with me to tell him what’s wrong.
I smile and take a step back. I can’t let him touch me. I’ll come completely undone if he does. I clear my throat. “Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be?” My voice shakes along with my hands.
“I don’t know. You seem...off?”
“I’m fine.” My words are barely a whisper.
His patience with me is fading. His jaw ticks while his chest heaves, but I’m saved from any more questions when his cell starts ringing. He yanks his phone out and curses under his breath when he sees who’s calling. I wonder if it’s Carly. I don’t understand. If he doesn’t want to be with her, then why is he leaving me?
Gavin shoves his phone back in his pocket then leans in and gives me a quick kiss. “I’ll call you soon.” I nod my head as he walks away. I open my door and walk straight to the bedroom. That is when the tears I held back finally
