The Gift
by
Four years of college, tons of debt, and I need two jobs just to pay the bills. I should have majored in Not Being Poor.
“I love you,” she says, her voice soft but sure. I gaze down at her and wonder what the hell I did to get this fucking lucky. “I love you too. And I don’t need to ride tonight. Or ever again. Hearing that from your lips is the biggest win of my life.” I take my hat, and I plunk it on her head. Just like I told myself I would. And then I kiss her.”

“Jasper: I don’t like talking to people. Sloane: You talk to me. Jasper: You’re not people. Sloane: Lmao. What am I then? Jasper: My person.”

“Beg.” “Pardon me?” “You heard me.” Her lips don’t even twitch. She’s not joking at all. “Beg.” My cheeks heat against my will. My heart thunders in my chest. She’s got me so on my heels it’s not even funny. I can’t allow it to last. But can I suck it up for the sake of making her turn her ass around? Maybe. “Please stay.”

“I don’t need a guy. I like being alone, I make myself happy. I just mean that I’d like to have someone I can lean on from time to time. Someone I can come home to and talk to, share some laughs, some conversation. Share a life. Build a life together. I think I’m a little tired of doing things on my own, even if it’s making a small decision like what to have for dinner. Sometimes it feels like I’m so lonely that I might start to lose my mind. And I don’t want to find someone just because I feel lonely. I just feel like I’m ready to have that special thing in my life some people are lucky to have. I want that for myself. Does that even make sense?”
