Chapter 38
Milo
“Sometimes love comes without warning.”
I t’s unfair, really, to fall in love with someone without warning.
Because that’s exactly how it feels with her.
Even the distance couldn’t stop us.
I love her. Fuck me.
Lissie groans in her sleep, and I run my hands through my hair before I manage to get up without waking her and step out of her room. As I’m closing the door, I see her curl herself into a ball.
“Didn’t think you would come out at all.” I spin to find Mason opening Lissie’s fridge and holding a jar full of Nutella. He dips the spoon in and puts it in his mouth. “Did you tell her yet?” Mason asks with a raised brow.
“No.” And I don’t intend to, but I will before we leave.
“Okay, let me know if you need me to do anything.” I nod, opening the fridge and reaching in for a bottle of water. “Letti knows, just so you’re aware, and having her not say anything to Lissie has been a struggle,” he adds when I pass by him.
“How does she know?” I ask.
He holds up his hands, which are holding the spoon and Nutella. “Not from me. She figured it out.”
“So she’s guessing?”
“I confirmed it.” His eyes drop, and he knows he fucked up.
I go back to the bedroom to find her in the exact same position she was in when I left. Walking over to her bedside table, I set the water down and slide my pants off before getting back into bed. Reaching for her, I pull her into my side, and she comes without waking, curling herself around me.
Is this what a relationship is like?
Falling asleep and waking up with someone?
Because if it is, how the fuck did that fucker ever turn this woman away?
