I never saw our friendship as being a problem or being hurtful to you."When I looked up, she turned her eyes away."I see it now. And I'm sorry.""Yeah, well, that was a long time ago, Nick.""It was. But you haven't forgiven me."I picked up my iced tea as she answered."What do you mean? There's nothing to forgive. You never promised me anything." Even an emotional idiot like me could hear the pain in her voice when she said that.
I stared at her beautiful face. All those years since that kiss in her parents' living room, I had thought that she wasn't interested. All this time, I had played the serial boyfriend, dating girl after girl who never seemed to get me. And after all that, now I was learning that she had wanted me too?I studied her. Maybe she wouldn't admit it to me. She probably wouldn't even admit it to herself. But the hurt in her eyes couldn't be disguised.
I hadn't promised her anything. No. I hadn't. But actions spoke louder than words. I had said something with that kiss, and she had said something when she had pushed me away. But now I was questioning whether I had understood that push correctly after all. I paused with my drink halfway to my mouth, considering her choice of words. Then I put the glass back on the table."No, I didn't promise you anything." I leaned forward, staring into her crystal-clear blue eyes.
"But maybe I should have.""You don't owe me anything, Nick, " she said, no more able to break our gaze than I was."Yes, Jessica. I do. I realize that now." I reached across the table and captured her hand before she knew what I was doing and could pull it back. "And I intend to repay you - in full." Order of the Feels Like Romance series1.
