Sincerely Yours (Love in Seattle #2)

by Asia Monique

Chemistry between two people is the strangest science of all.

I preferred someone who would accept that sometimes I didn’t have a lot to say.

“I think I’m going to love it here.” “Yeah,” I agreed, nodding. “I think you will.” And maybe I’ll get you to like me too.

There was no way Zeke could have known that he’d gotten me out of a situation that was suffocating me beyond my lungs capacity. Maybe one day I’d tell him what his effort in finding me a permanent place here in Seattle had done for me.

“A joke? Me rebelling against the family? I’m thirty, for goodness sake. My years of rebelling have long passed. This is simply my life.”

Zeke and I were weird. The chemistry was weird, but it was there.

felt like home to me, and no place had ever felt that way before; no man had ever made me feel that way just from a simple hug. None of it made sense because I barely knew him.

“You should know that doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will,” I said, bringing my lips closer. “I’m the last person to be telling you how to feel, but do me a favor and kill the doubt.” “Can I be scared?” I nodded and brushed my lips against hers. “It’s okay to be scared. Being scared means, you’re about to do something

just pray I’m able to give you what you want, what you need.

All while telling myself, you’ve always been worthy of genuine people, Nae., over and over again.

“Why does it feel like our minds and bodies are further than we are in this? Like we’re simply being caught up on what’s going to be?” “Chemistry between two people is the strangest science of all.”

“I’m a lot of things, Nae,” he said, using my nickname and tipping his head at me. “But remember, I’m a man first. A man who is beyond attracted to you—who would take the chance to fuck you if allowed.”

I want to spill all of my deepest darkest secrets to you. It’s becoming clearer to me with every day that passes.”
