CHAPTER 21

Dawson

Of all the times to be gradual, as we speak was the slowest.

I leaned my head again towards the sofa in the lounge upstairs within the firehouse, preventing to focus on something besides the earlier evening.

On the reminiscence of my embarrassing second.

Granted, Nolan had no thought all his grinding had brought about me to blow up in such a trend, and I wasn’t about to inform him that little tidbit. I’d take that to my fucking grave.

However the truth of the matter was, I knew there was completely no means I’d be capable to take a look at Nolan the identical once more.

Not after he’d kissed me, after he’d wriggled his means onto my lap and into my rattling coronary heart like he had.

I wished to textual content him. All day I considered it, however I didn’t wish to appear too ahead. I wasn’t positive how a lot he remembered, if he remembered pinning me beneath him in my truck and making my rattling head spin, or if he was hungover as shit and wished to be left alone.

But when I wanted recommendation on dick and all issues centered across the dick… I used to be higher asking a hopeless romantic like Cade.

I’d half anticipated him to blow me off, being as he and his new boyfriend had been virtually hooked up on the hip, and I used to be pleasantly shocked when he answered my angsty, emo-kid textual content with, ‘Certain, let’s meet up at M’s this night and discuss it. What time you off?’

The moment aid that poured over me ought to have been embarrassing had I not felt the stress of the whole lot soften nearly instantly.

I wasn’t positive what the precise factor to do was, however I knew no less than if I talked issues out with my finest good friend, he’d steer me in the precise course.
