“The first time I noticed you—like

“The first time I noticed you—like really noticed you—was when you just turned sixteen, and you were out in the backyard with Charlie. I had no fucking clue what you two were trying to do with a Slip’N Slide and honestly didn’t care, because you were wearing the tiniest bikini I’d ever seen.”
“I have no recollection of a Slip’N Slide,” I murmured.
He tugged me a step forward. “I do. It was in June. It was around two in the afternoon, and I was watching you from the kitchen window. I kept telling myself you were way too young to be thinking the things I was thinking.”
Interest piqued, I couldn’t let that go. “What things were you thinking?”
“Things a teenage boy thinks when he sees a hot chick in a bathing suit that barely covers her ass,” he replied. “I don’t think I moved from that window until I couldn’t take anymore, and I don’t think you want to know what I did when I left the window.”
My lips parted. “What did you do?”
He arched a brow. “Give you two hints. Shower. My hand.”
“Oh.” My skin tingled as a sharp sensation swirled through me.
“Yeah,” he murmured, and tugged me another step forward. My leg pressed against his knee. “Then it was when you were seventeen and you made me a homemade birthday card. I don’t know why, but when you smiled at me and handed that card over, you came onto my radar and you never left.”
I totally remembered that card. I’d spent days on it, drawing a picture of the Statue of Liberty, because I knew he was into the whole Marines and America stuff. And I’d felt so goofy giving it to him, but he had smiled and he’d given me one of those awkward one-arm hugs. I’d thought he saw me as a silly kid.
“When I came back from overseas and I saw you . . .” He shook his head. “That hug you gave me. Never been hugged like that before. I didn’t understand why you were the first person I really wanted to see when I got back. I didn’t get it for a long-ass time why I started going to that shit hole that used to be Mona’s. And when I did finally put two and two together, and came up with the fact that I wanted you, then the shit happened with the shooting.”
I swallowed hard. I knew Reece had taken the officer-involved shooting hard and he’d been drinking a lot around that time, but before I could open my mouth, he went on. “My head wasn’t in the right place to act on it. The reason I came to Mona’s became more about getting shitfaced than seeing you, and then . . . yeah, that night happened between us.” He tilted his head to the side. “That’s why I regretted it. Because I was drunk and my head was in a bad place. I didn’t want anyone around that, especially you.”
“Reece,” I whispered.
His eyes searched mine intently. “By the time I figured out what I was feeling for you, we weren’t talking and as always, shit just gets out of hand.”
My heart was pounding as I looked down at him. “What are you saying, Reece?”
That crooked grin appeared again as he curled his arm back. I gasped as he hauled me right into his lap, my hip cradled between his strong thighs. Still holding my hand, he wrapped his other arm around my waist as he leaned back into the chair. Having no choice, I went with him and ended up stretched out across his chest, my free hand landing on his shoulder. My body immediately warmed to being so close to him.
We were face-to-face. “And because of that—all of that, we did this wrong. Not that I regret getting in you. Fuck. No way. Looking back, I’m a hundred percent glad that was our first time.” The arm around my waist shifted, and his hand slipped over my hip, to the edge of my shorts and then splayed across my bare leg. A wave of goose bumps traveled across my flesh. “But I should’ve done more for you. The dinner. The movie. All of that. You deserved that. I think after all this time, we deserve that.”
“We do?” My voice squeaked. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
“Yeah, we do.” His eyes drifted over my face, settling on my mouth. “How about we start over? You want that?”
I still had no idea what to say.
He arched a brow. “The way you’re rubbing my neck tells me you do, but babe, I want to hear it from that pretty mouth.”
My hand? I glanced at it. Hell, I was rubbing his neck. “I didn’t expect this,” I admitted. “I thought you’d tell me that we’d be friends . . . or something like that.”
“Roxy, I already told you I was looking for more than that.”
“But—”
He tipped his chin forward, resting his forehead against mine. “I was pissed, but that hasn’t changed.” A heartbeat passed. “But has it changed for you?”
Part of me wished it had, because this with Reece was dangerous to my heart and common sense. I could really fall for him, but I . . . I wanted him and—and I wasn’t going to finish that train of thought. “I would like that.”
“Figured.”
My heart flipped. “So damn cocky.”
“Just truthful,” he teased, plucking up the purple streak in my hair and twisting it around his finger.
I drew in a deep breath as his warm breath danced over my lips. My mind was literally blown.

Aku telah menghabiskan hari di atasnya, menggambar gambar Patung Liberty, karena saya tahu dia ke dalam keseluruhan Marinir dan Amerika barang. Dan aku akan merasa begitu konyol memberikan itu kepadanya, tetapi ia telah tersenyum dan ia memberi saya salah satu pelukan satu-lengan yang canggung. Aku berpikir dia melihat saya sebagai seorang anak yang konyol."Ketika saya kembali dari luar negeri dan saya melihat Anda..." Ia menggelengkan kepala. "Yang kau memberiku pelukan. Pernah telah memeluk seperti itu sebelumnya. Saya tidak mengerti mengapa kau orang pertama yang aku benar-benar ingin melihat ketika aku kembali. Aku tidak mendapatkan itu untuk waktu yang lama-ass mengapa saya mulai pergi ke lubang kotoran itu yang dulu menjadi Mona's. Dan ketika saya lakukan akhirnya menempatkan dua dan dua bersama-sama, dan datang dengan fakta bahwa saya ingin Anda, maka kotoran yang terjadi dengan penembakan."Aku menelan keras. Aku tahu Reece telah mengambil petugas yang terlibat penembakan keras dan ia telah minum banyak sekitar waktu itu, tapi sebelum bisa membuka mulut saya, dia melanjutkan. "Kepala saya tidak di tempat yang tepat untuk bertindak berdasarkan itu. Alasan saya datang ke dariisma menjadi lebih tentang mendapatkan shitfaced daripada melihat Anda, dan kemudian... ya, bahwa malam terjadi antara kami. " Dia yang dimiringkan kepalanya ke samping. "Itu sebabnya aku menyesalinya. Karena aku mabuk dan kepalaku pada tempat yang buruk. Saya tidak ingin ada di sekitar itu, terutama Anda.""Reece," bisikku.Matanya mencari saya dengan sungguh-sungguh.

"Pertama kali saya melihat Anda seperti benar-benar melihat Anda-adalah ketika Anda hanya berusia enam belas tahun, dan Anda berada di luar di halaman belakang dengan Charlie. Aku tidak tahu sialan apa yang Anda dua coba lakukan dengan Slide Slip'N dan jujur ​​tidak peduli, karena Anda mengenakan bikini terkecil yang pernah saya lihat. "
" Aku tidak ingat dari Slide Slip'N , "gumamku.
Dia menarik saya langkah maju. "Saya lakukan. Itu pada bulan Juni. Itu sekitar dua siang, dan saya menonton Anda dari jendela dapur. Aku terus mengatakan pada diriku sendiri Anda terlalu muda untuk berpikir hal-hal yang saya pikirkan. "
Tujuan terusik, aku tidak bisa membiarkan hal itu pergi. "Hal-hal apa yang Anda pikirkan?"
"Hal remaja laki-laki berpikir ketika ia melihat cewek panas dalam pakaian renang yang nyaris tidak menutupi pantatnya," jawabnya. "Saya tidak berpikir saya pindah dari jendela yang sampai aku tidak tahan lagi, dan saya tidak berpikir Anda ingin tahu apa yang saya lakukan ketika saya meninggalkan jendela."
Bibirku berpisah. "Apa yang kau lakukan?"
Dia mengangkat alis. "Memberikan dua petunjuk. Mandi. Tanganku. "
" Oh. "Kulit saya tergelitik sebagai sensasi tajam berputar melalui saya.
" Yeah, "gumamnya, dan menarik saya langkah maju. Kakiku menekan lututnya. "Kemudian itu ketika Anda masih tujuh belas dan Anda membuat saya kartu ulang tahun buatan sendiri. Aku tidak tahu mengapa, tetapi ketika Anda tersenyum padaku dan menyerahkan kartu yang lebih, Anda datang ke radar saya dan Anda tidak pernah meninggalkan. "
Saya benar-benar ingat bahwa kartu. Saya telah menghabiskan hari di atasnya, menggambar gambar Patung Liberty, karena saya tahu dia ke seluruh barang Marinir dan Amerika. Dan aku merasa begitu bodoh memberikan kepadanya, tapi dia tersenyum dan dia memberi saya salah satu dari mereka canggung pelukan satu lengan. Aku pikir dia melihat saya sebagai anak bodoh.
"Ketika saya kembali dari luar negeri dan saya melihat Anda. . . "Dia menggeleng. "Pelukan itu Anda memberi saya. Pernah memeluk seperti itu sebelumnya. Saya tidak mengerti mengapa Anda adalah orang pertama yang saya benar-benar ingin melihat ketika aku kembali. Aku tidak mendapatkannya untuk waktu yang lama-ass mengapa saya mulai pergi ke lubang omong kosong itu digunakan untuk menjadi Mona. Dan ketika aku akhirnya menempatkan dua dan dua bersama-sama, dan datang dengan fakta bahwa saya ingin Anda, maka kotoran yang terjadi dengan penembakan. "
Aku menelan ludah. Aku tahu Reece telah mengambil penembakan petugas-terlibat keras dan ia telah minum banyak sekitar waktu itu, tapi sebelum aku bisa membuka mulut, ia melanjutkan. "Kepala saya tidak di tempat yang tepat untuk bertindak di atasnya. Alasan saya datang ke Mona menjadi lebih tentang mendapatkan shitfaced daripada melihat Anda, dan kemudian. . . yeah, malam itu terjadi di antara kami. "Dia memiringkan kepalanya ke samping. "Itu sebabnya saya menyesalinya. Karena saya mabuk dan kepala saya berada di tempat yang buruk. Saya tidak ingin orang di sekitar itu, terutama Anda. "
" Reece, "bisikku.
Matanya mencari tambang saksama. "Pada saat saya tahu apa yang saya rasakan untuk Anda, kami tidak berbicara dan seperti biasa, kotoran hanya keluar dari tangan."
Jantungku berdebar saat aku melihat ke arahnya. "Apa yang kau katakan, Reece?"
Seringai bengkok muncul lagi saat ia meringkuk lengannya kembali. Aku tersentak saat ia menarik saya tepat ke pangkuannya, pinggul saya memeluk antara paha yang kuat. Masih memegang tangan saya, dia membungkus lengannya lainnya di pinggang saya sambil bersandar ke kursi. Karena tidak punya pilihan, aku pergi dengan dia dan akhirnya membentang di dadanya, tangan saya mendarat gratis di bahunya. Tubuhku segera dihangatkan untuk menjadi begitu dekat dengannya.
Kami face-to-face. "Dan karena itu-semua itu, kami melakukan ini salah. Bukannya aku menyesal masuk Anda. Bercinta. Tidak mungkin. Melihat ke belakang, aku seratus persen senang bahwa adalah pertama kalinya kami. "Lengan di pinggang saya bergeser, dan tangannya menyelinap di atas pinggul saya, ke tepi celana pendek saya dan kemudian terhampar di kaki telanjang. Gelombang merinding bepergian di seluruh tubuhku. "Tapi aku harus sudah melakukan lebih banyak untuk Anda. Makan malam. Film. Semua itu. Anda pantas itu. Saya pikir setelah sekian lama, kami pantas untuk itu. "
" Kami lakukan? "Suaraku mencicit. Aku tidak percaya apa yang saya dengar.
"Ya, kita lakukan." Matanya melayang di atas wajah saya, menetap di mulut saya. "Bagaimana kalau kita mulai dari awal? Anda ingin itu? "
Aku masih tidak tahu harus berkata apa.
Dia mengangkat alis. "Cara Anda menggosok leher saya memberitahu saya Anda lakukan, tapi sayang, aku ingin mendengarnya dari mulut cukup."
Tanganku? Aku meliriknya. Neraka, aku menggosok lehernya. "Saya tidak mengharapkan ini," aku mengakui. "Kupikir kau katakan padaku bahwa kita akan menjadi teman. . . atau sesuatu seperti itu. "
" Roxy, saya sudah bilang saya cari lebih dari itu. "
" Tapi- "
Dia memiringkan dagunya ke depan, beristirahat dahinya tambang. "Saya kesal, tapi itu tidak berubah." Sebuah detak jantung berlalu. "Tapi telah berubah untuk Anda?"
Sebagian dari diriku berharap itu, karena ini dengan Reece berbahaya untuk hati saya dan akal sehat. Aku benar-benar bisa jatuh cinta padanya, tapi aku. . . Aku ingin dia dan-dan saya tidak akan menyelesaikan yang melatih pikiran. "Saya ingin itu."
"Figur."
Membalik Hatiku. "Jadi sialan sombong."
"Hanya jujur," goda, memetik up beruntun ungu di rambut saya dan memutar itu di jarinya.
Aku menarik napas dalam-dalam karena napasnya yang hangat menari-nari di bibir saya. Pikiran saya benar ditiup.
