Page 7 of Reckless With You

“Why don’t you stop calling mebabe.” I said it softly, my voice wooden.

I had just shown my boobs to my best friend, and he didn’t love me.

He wasn’t even moving towards me. No, his hands were in his pockets, sorrow on his face.

And that damned pity.

“I can do that, Amelia. But there’s something I should tell you.”

“I think you’ve said enough. Well, at leastIsaid enough for both of us.”

I tried to move past him, but he reached out and grabbed my arm. I didn’t mean to flinch. I think the fact that I did shocked both of us. I moved away, tightening my jacket around myself, wishing I could just fall into a hole and never come out.

“I’m dating someone, Amelia.”

My gaze shot to his. “Dating?” Tobey was dating? We talkedevery day,and he’d never mentioned it before.

Oh my God. What have I done?

“Yeah. I love her, Amelia. I think I’ve found my forever with her. I didn’t know how to tell you before.”

“You love her. Your forever?”

“Yeah. And one day, I hope you get to meet her. I just…I’m sorry Amelia. I should have told you.”

I looked at him then and raised my chin. I wasn’t going to cry. I couldn’t cry in front of my best friend. Not even when I was breaking inside. I would simply raise my chin even higher. And nod.

“Yeah. You should have.”

And then I ran.

I had just told my best friend that I loved him. And found out that he didn’t love me back.

There was no coming back from that.

“Excuse me,do you think you could help me reach that zucchini?”

I looked over at the woman next to me in the grocery store and nodded, giving her a small smile. Then I got a look at her face.

Picking up women in the grocery store wasn’t something I generally did, and since I had plans that night, I wasn’t going to do much tonight either, but I could still appreciate the woman with the thick curves and plump lips at my side.

I couldn’t help it.

I liked women. And women tended to like me, which I didn’t mind. Not at all.

“Sure, what size are you looking for?”

I held back a mental groan because I hadn’t actually meant to sound like I was thinking about my dick. But from the way she blushed, and the fact that her gaze raked down my body before moving back to my eyes? Yeah, she got the double entendre.

Oops.

“Well, I kind of wanted one a little bigger. Does that work for you?”

Dear God, I was somehow in the middle of a porn movie. And me, without my tripod.
