Chapter Twenty-Two
Melonie
I peer down at my list. Doesn’t really help that I can’t come up with a tiebreaker. It still bothers me that he didn’t come right out and tell me about his crush, feelings, or whatever he was feeling before we slept together. That would have been good information for me to have. It could possibly break the tie.
I crumple up the paper and throw it across the counter. I’m exhausted. Thank goodness I took tomorrow off work to have a day to recoup from the wedding. I leave the kitchen and walk to my bathroom to start my night routine.
Once I’m lying in the darkness, I try to start imagining myself dating Linc. I know I would be happily satisfied with the sex, but would I ever feel secure with him? I want a man who is ready to settle down. I want to start a family in a couple years. I don’t have time to help someone figure out what they want. Nor do I have the need to get my heart broken in the process.
As much as I think Linc could be a good partner, I’m just not willing to be his guinea pig. I let out a sigh, roll over, and hug my body pillow. I know my decision is made.
