much I loved him and how much he loved me. I
remembered a time when I d thought that I d never feel
this way yet here I was doubting I could ever live without
him. Funny how things change.
After we ate and cleaned up the dishes, he trapped
me against the counter, shoving my hair aside so he could
kiss my neck.  We have about a half hour until everyone
gets here.
I snorted.  What do you think we can actually do in
thirty minutes?
 Want me to draw you a picture? he asked, his
breath hot on my skin. I craned my neck to allow him
better access.  How about a quickie?
Laughing, I hopped up on the counter. I tugged him
between my knees and wrapped my legs around his waist.
 A quickie is never enough for me, Collin, I said as I
kissed him.  You ll have to wait until later. He captured
my lips again.  Besides, you know& 
 Oh, geez, Spencer groaned as he breezed into the
kitchen, Jessica in tow.  Is that all you guys do?
Collin s cheeks reddened as he edged back. He lifted
me off the counter then took my hand.  We re like rabbits,
man.
 Too much info, bro, Spencer grinned, shooting me
a wink.  So, guess who called me today?
I snorted a laugh - it looked as though Morgan was
making the rounds.  Um, Morgan?
Spencer s brow dipped as he frowned.  How d you
know?
 She talked to me earlier after classes. So, what did
she have to say? I asked.
 Just that she was sorry, he said.  She asked how
everyone was doing and stuff like that. She asked me
about you and Collin and how I was handling it.
I snorted again and squeezed Collin s hand.  And?
How are you handling it?
 Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, he said as he disengaged
himself from Jessica and wrapped an arm around my
shoulders.  Some days are better than others. He wiped a
fake tear from his eye.  But I get by.
I shoved him away in laughter.  What a loser.
 Bailey, are you in here? Irelyn called from the
front door. I rolled my eyes.
 No, I shouted.
She rushed into the room, her eyes bright.  Morgan
called me.
 Join the club, I said.
Her face fell slightly.  She called you, too?
I quickly explained my conversation near the
parking lot. Irelyn nodded as she bit her lip.  Yeah, she
pretty much said the same to me. So, do you think she ll
be at Rusty s tomorrow night?
 I doubt it, I said.  But it s a start.
Collin kissed my cheek and gave my hip a squeeze.
 Where s Luke? Outside? Irelyn nodded.  Great. Come
on, Spence, let s get to work.

Later that night, after everyone left, Collin and I
snuggled in bed together. He kissed the top of my head
before he reached over me and set his alarm clock.
 You really don t think Morgan will be at Rusty s
tomorrow? he asked.
 Probably not.
 Well, she s called everyone  maybe she thinks
she s made amends.
 I don t know, I said as I nestled my head under his
chin.  I guess we ll just wait and see.
He tightened his arms around me as I closed my
eyes. Maybe Morgan would surprise us and show up - but
things wouldn t be like they were before  not right away
and perhaps not ever. But I couldn t help but to hope they
were on their way. I did miss Morgan  especially since
the pieces of my life were finally falling into place. I liked
the job my father had given me; my friendships with
Irelyn, Lucas and Spencer were stronger than ever; and
my love for Collin was deep. If Morgan would only come
back to us, it would make things that much better.
I squeezed my eyes tighter, a little angry at how
sentimental I was becoming. Being in love was turning
me into a softie. I sighed and lifted my head to look at
Collin s dozing face in the pale light. I smiled and kissed
his cheek.
As I placed my head on his chest I banished my
thoughts. Who really cared if I was going soft  Collin was
well worth it. And I d finally broken that vicious circle. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
