“Who says I like you now?”
“Why won’t you let people know you?”
“You know me.”
I melt into that statement, the tone giving me life, his words giving me ...

“There is so much you don’t know.”
“You don’t, Cecelia, you think you do, but you don’t.”
“Things will change.”
“I want in. Please let me in.”
“Okay, okay.” I roll back and let my head rest on his windshield and silently berate myself for pushing so hard. “Sorry.” I lift and press a kiss to his jaw. “It’s hard being with you. It’s just hard sometimes.”
“You are in.”
Every word hits the innermost part of me. Emotions surface as I crane my neck to look up at him. He places a soft kiss to my lips, deepening it to the point he’s pressing those words into me.
When he pulls away, I feel everything at once. I know I’m in love with him. I just don’t k...

“Don’t waste good words on me.”
“It’s okay, Cecelia. I’m as close to happy as a man like me deserves.”
“Have you hurt people?”
He’s a man with too many secrets and no one to share them with.
“Do I make you happy? Even a little?”
I see Sean’s Nova.
He meets Dominic’s eyes behind me, his expression grave before he gives me his attention, a quick flash of teeth when I reach him.
Oh oh. What happened now?!?
“Cecelia, I’m going to take you home, okay?”
WTH?!?
I turn to see Dominic’s eyes have gone cold; his jaw set in a firm line.

“Not tonight, okay?” Sean says softly. “Me and Dom have to talk.”
About what exactly? Hmmm
“Are you…safe?”
“God, Sean, just for once, can you lie to me?”
“I hate the ground you walk on.” He deadpans before glancing over my shoulder at Dominic who speaks up behind me.

“You gotta go, baby.”
Now I’m getting scared
They’re scared.
“But we have to go, Pup. Right now.”
He doesn’t look back. He just stands in the middle of the garage, his eyes cast down, and I watch him just seconds before he erupts, the jarring sound of metal hitting the bay doors as Sean rips me from the building and pulls me into the car.
“I don’t care, do you hear me, I don’t care what it is, give me something.”
“Sean, plea—”
“Somebody couldn’t keep a secret.”
It’s been days of silence, days of unanswered texts. I’ve gone from worried, to confused, to angry, and all I want at this point is just a little fucking acknowledgment.
I’ve been patient, given them enough space to handle whatever took them from me without ample explanation.
but their silence at this point is just cruel. I haven’t slept at all, and just finished another shift Sean didn’t show up for, but thanks to the gossip mill at the plant, I did hear that he called in.
Hood business.
They’re okay. You’re okay.
I have to believe that hood business is what’s kept them away because the alternative is too painful.
Because I truly love them both.
It’s when I reach it, that I hear the out of place melody blaring through the garage and I know they were expecting me.
“Afternoon Delight” carries through the air, out of the doors as my chest churns and dread fills the pit of my stomach.
It’s a joke. It has to be. And it’s not funny. I’ll find a way to ...

Sean watches Dominic take a shot at the table, refusing to look up. He knows I’m here.
Why are they acting this way?!?
