Chapter 21 - Reece
Getting on the plane was easier than Reece expected it to be. He didn’t look back at Nick or the rest of his friends when he walked away, and there was still a smile on his face when he settled in his seat.
It only hit him once he was in the air, staring out the window and reflecting on the amazing weekend he had in L.A.
Nick seemed so happy to see him, to be with him. And Reece had certainly been happy… So happy that he couldn’t help worrying now that he was leaving—now that he was alone again—if he’d really somehow managed to fall even harder for Nick.
He wondered if it was even possible, and if it could get even worse from there.
But Reece didn’t want to worry. Not now. Because he was having too much fun. He’d never been happier. Nick wasn’t his boyfriend, Nick would never be his, and yet that’s not how it seemed at all when they were together. It was confusing and made Reece feel so torn.
From the beginning, though, all he wanted was to ride the wave for as long as he could, so he intended to continue doing so.
There was no way he was walking away from Nick just to save himself a little heartache.
It was already too late for that anyway.
Besides, it didn’t seem as if Nick had any intention of letting Reece go anytime soon either.
