“You want something?”
“Come in the water with me.”
My skin was baking with heat. I allowed him to pull me upright, not before I wrapped my hands around his head and kissed him.
“We should do this more often.”
“What? Kiss?”
He chuckled. “Well, yes, but I meant that we should take more vacations.”
“Well, we’ve only been together for six months. I don’t have as many vacation days as you.”
It had been six amazing months. After work, Luke would usually pick me up and we would have dinner. I spent a lot of nights at his place, but I hadn’t abandoned my apartment, yet. I wasn’t ready to move in with him. Besides, there was still Natalie.
I frowned as I thought of her. She split up with Ben, her long time college sweetheart and fiancé. Natalie spent a lot of her days with a box of tissues nearby. I felt bad because things were going so well for me.
“You’re thinking about her again, aren’t you?”
I shrugged, avoiding his eyes. “I can’t help it. She’s all alone.”
“You were all alone, too. Natalie will be fine. She has a very supportive family.”
I nodded. “Can’t you set her up with one of your friends?”
He sighed and shook his head. “I can try.”
I felt a rush of affection for my boyfriend and I held him tightly against my chest. “Thanks. I love you.”
His lips, soft against my cheek, raised a thrill inside me. I melted into his touch, bewildered by my love for him. I could never understand how he made me feel so complete. Luke helped me mend the hole in my heart. I didn’t think I would ever be afraid of anything again.
“I love you, too.”
