MY HEART started a mad thumping in my chest. My knees wobbled when he looked down at me with blazing dark eyes. He wanted to see my reaction or he might believe the eyes were the gateway to the soul or something. Then he walked away.
A moment later, he was back with two glasses of red wine.
After he offered mine, he raised his glass for a toss. /"To us./"
I let the sweetness and the acidity of the wine to run down my throat. I needed to numb myself if I had to be honest tonight, which it had been hard for me lately. I had been keeping a huge secret to my family. My grandma just died not knowing what I had been keeping from her. I thought I could keep till the day I die, but Skip being back, I didn’t think I could hold on to it anymore.
Silently, I sat back to his comfy couch and heaved a sigh.
/"It was just sex,/" he started. I could literally feel the nervousness in his voice.
