Page 40 of Sin Bins and Second Chances
“Did you return the favor?”
“No, but I kind of want to.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah. We’re taking things slow. I don’t know. I want to do more and I definitely want to return the favor, but ugh!”
“Where is he right now?”
“At practice. He’s been here ever since until he needed to leave a little while ago for practice. So I’m prepping bread and trying to convince myself everything is fine.”
“How do you feel?”
“Confused, but I miss him. It’s weird. I’ve been fine for years.
“No, you haven’t.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means I see the look on your face when you’d look him up online and think nobody was watching. You’ve always missed him.”
“He’s very sure this is our second chance.”
“Don’t you?”
“Yes,” I admit. “He literally only left like two hours ago and I miss him, though. This is ridiculous.”
“You love him.”
“No,” I argue.
“You’re falling for him.”
I don’t respond. Am I falling for him? I don’t know if I ever even stopped.
“Okay, is your bread ready to chill in the fridge for a few hours?”
“Why?”
“What if you find an excuse to go to the city and surprise him at the rink after practice?”
I don’t bother telling her I was already considering that idea. “This is ridiculous. I feel pussy whipped, or cock whipped, but I haven’t even had the cock.” My hand slams over my mouth.
Delilah laughs. “You’ve got it bad. Okay, this is what you’re going to do. Fix yourself up, get all adorable and wear that blue flower wrap dressyou have. It accentuates all the good stuff and is easy to remove.” She smirks.
“You are a terrible influence.” I sigh. “I guess I could waste time at the bookstore while waiting for him to finish practice. But then we have two cars there and I just want to be with him. This is not a good idea.”
She hums. “You’re right, two vehicles won’t work. The downside to living an hour outside of the city and a car service is going to rip you off. Ask my mom to take you!”
“I’m not going to ask your mom to take me to the city.”
“Do you have a better idea?”
“Then again, I’m not going to need my car for a day or two. Then he’s got practice two days later, and if I need to give him a ride to practice.” I smirk.
“There’s an idea.”
“This is still crazy.”
