“No.”
“Yeah, but it’s not entirely my fault. “In the elevator, she confessed she had a sex dream about me.” Evan doesn’t respond. “She then tells me in excruciating detail what happened. I was hanging on by a thread.”
“I can imagine.”
“Then she touched my face and told me I have beautiful eyes, then grabbed my shirt and kissed me.”
“Fuck.”
“And I kissed her back.”
“Of course you did.”
“She asked me to come inside. I said no.”
He stares at me for a long moment. “Good. You did the right thing.”
“She doesn’t remember any of it. I brought her coffee the next day to her room as we needed to talk about what had happened, and nothing, she didn’t remember anything.”
“Bet that sucked.”
“It did, but I didn’t want to mess things up by telling her.” Evan nods. “Then last night happened.” Evan waits me out. “She called me out on putting on my mask to her and dragged me to her room.”
“In the middle of the party?” I nod. “Her brothers were there.”
“I know.”
“You’re crazy.”
“About her, yeah,” I tell him. Evan shakes his head. “She must have had flashbacks about her drunk night because she asked me if she had done something embarrassing, and I couldn’t hold it in anymore, so I told her.”
“How did she take it?” he asks.
“She asked me to kiss her again.”
“Fuck,” he curses, running his hand over his shaved head.
“Yeah. Things got a little crazy. But it was one of the best kisses of my life.”
Evan whistles. “That good, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re so fucked.”
“I know,” I say, hanging my head in shame. “I like her. Like, really like her.” Evan just keeps shaking his head as if he can’t believe what he is hearing. “That’s why she came over this morning, to tell me she likes me too.”
“She did?” he asks, sounding surprised.
I nod. “But to also say it can’t go any further and that we shouldn’t kiss again.”
Evan stares at me. “That is a good idea. Too many complications with her.”
“I know, but …”
“It won’t work, her brothers will kill you, as will Emmett.” He’s right. It sucks, but is the same thoughts are going through my mind. “I’m sorry you like her.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve liked someone.”
