I roll my eyes, pushing back against his fingers. “Put it in already.” “Fuck you. One more finger.” “Silas— Ow! Stop hitting me!” I groan, even though I secretly love it. Love our fighting and our fucking.
Annie
They really are cute. I love that they are learning and exploring together. Both having never been w/ men before each other..this is really beautiful in a way. 🧡

I wait a beat, trying to catch my breath before speaking, unable to stop myself from smiling so damn wide. “So, baby?” I laugh when he stiffens above me and slaps my ass harshly. “Momentary insanity.”
Annie
Lmaoo. Of course that’s the first thing he brings up. 😂 & of course Silas tries to play it off.

“This is more, isn’t it?” I whisper, terrified beyond belief by what he might answer. “We… We are more now.” I know I’ve been feeling it, and I think he has too, but I didn’t realize how badly I needed that confirmation until now.
Annie
Yes. It’s been more for a while now if you ask me, but I’m just a bystander so what do I know ?🤷🏽‍♀️🤭

I like Silas. I want to be with him and not just for the fucking. Whatever this is, I want to see where it goes. But that only matters if he feels the same way. He licks his lips and I let out a sigh of relief when he nods. “Yeah. It’s more.”
Annie
The enemies are officially LOVERRRSSSSS🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘😘😘😘😘

What do we look like now that we’re dating? Is that even what we’re doing? There’s no way in hell we’re going public—not with the Aces and not with my dad—so where does that leave us?
Annie

“Where were you anyway?” Raid questions, pushing his wire-framed glasses up his nose, a curious glint in his eyes. Fuck, what do I say? Can’t tell them I was late because I met up with Blaine for a quick fuck in the back of his truck, can I?
Annie
Well, maybe not exactly like that. But at some point you gotta tell em you’re seeing someone.

“Ma’am?” I croak out, my throat feeling dry as hell. “You ready to order?” Mama asks, and I let out a sigh of relief at how oblivious she sounds. “It’s your turn.”

“Got somethin’ you need to tell me?” Shaking my head, I’m about to tell her nothing’s going on when Bunky cuts in, egging my mom on. “Is that a hickey?” Oh, fuck, you’ve got to be kidding me.

I picked the wrong time to quit smoking—only because Blaine wouldn’t stop bitching about it. I could really use a cigarette right about now.
Annie
Aaawwwww, you quit smoking for him ???? 🥹♥️ Good ! You are too young to be smoking that much anyways.

“So, who’s sucking marks on your neck then?” Raid’s tone is mocking, like he’s reading between the lines, and it’s unsettling to me that he may know something.
Annie
Oh Raid is definitely too smart and observant for his own good. 😭

“Yeah, Si. Are they pretty? Are they nice? Did you meet them at school?” Raid repeats like a smart-ass, but when he changes the pronouns, I feel the flush of my skin at the same time panic sets in. I stare at him, wishing like hell I had the ability to read his mind. He’s hinting that he knows whoever’s been mauling at my neck is⁠— There’s no way he knows who it is. He can’t.
Annie
😬… I’m pretty sure he’s knows. Or at least has suspicions. Damn. This is gonna be interesting 🥴

I have no idea why I haven’t taken him here before. I guess it’s always just been my spot but maybe it can be ours now, just like Whaley’s run-down camper is ours now too.
Annie
So down bad. He’s so adorable when he’s w/ Silas. It’s cute.

“Ta-dah,” I say, waving a hand in front of me. “What do you think?” He raises a brow and cocks his head to the side. “I think I’ve been to our football field before.”

That’s the spot ?? 😂😂 A little underwhelming sweetie.

“So, you just sit here?” he asks, sneaking his thumb under my shirt. “That’s boring as shit.” Always so grumpy, I swear. I kiss his neck, then tip his chin up at the sky. “Look.”

“Baby.” He sighs, grabbing my hand and bringing it to his lips, kissing my fingers. “Nothin’ you can say will change anythin’.” I swallow dryly, hoping that’s true. “Yeah?” “Yeah,” he confirms, his face more serious than I’ve ever seen.
Annie

“What do I have to offer?” he questions seriously. “Nothin’. I’m scum, and I’m alright with it. As long as I take care of the people that matter, who cares what happens to me?”
Annie
Damn. That really is such a negative and sad way to think about yourself. It’s just a product of his environment.

“I do,” I say firmly, then kiss him quickly—once, twice, three times—because I hate the fact that he thinks like that. “Si, you’re important to me. I don’t want to hear you say those things again.”

“The same applies to you then,” he fires back. “You’re important to me. Fuck that, I’m obsessed with you, Blaine Yates. Like a toxin there ain’t no cure for. You’ve poisoned me, baby, but I’ll happily suffer for you.”
