It was a minute pause but she felt it as Alex pulled her away to peer into her wet eyes.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" He demanded confusedly.
But she just continued to stare at him and cry.
"Cat, Cat....shhh. Talk to me," Alex gathered her close.
It could have been minutes or hours. She didn't know but eventually when she calmed down and got her bearings she pulled away from Alex's strong arms and looked him in his beautiful emerald cuts. She had to look at him to get his reaction. It had all started with a single night between two hormone-crazed teens with no expectations or promises.
At least not any that were voiced out loud.
