Chapter 53
Once we get back to Amy’s house, she heads up to her room to get changed. I follow her and wait for her on the bed, while she goes to her bathroom to change.
I feel like a lot was spoken on this tonight. I couldn’t be happier that she’s willing to give us an actual chance. And that kiss, Goddess above. I could barely breathe when she went in to kiss me, my whole body wanted it. I don’t know what I would have done had she changed her mind. I don’t think there’s any words that could describe that kiss, all I know is I hope it keeps happening. I can’t believe I went so long without her. Everything about her draws me in. She’s right, I really need to thank Dallas.
She comes out dressed in jeans and a tight pink short sleeve shirt. She smiles at me and goes to grab her hair clip off her desk. She accidentally trips over her backpack but catches herself quickly on the desk.
I see her freeze, did she hurt herself? “Are you okay?” I ask getting worried because she still hasn’t moved. Then, she finally moves and leans over to pick something up. She looks back at me with a surprised expression, holding the little pink present I had given her on her birthday. I smile shyly. “With everything that happened, I forgot about it.” She says softly, sitting on the side of her bed staring at the gift. I honestly thought she threw it away, when she thought we had something to do with everything that happened to her. She starts to rip the paper off, I’m actually a lot more nervous than I should be. What if she hates it? What if it brings back bad memories?
She opens the top of the box and her eyes widen as she looks at it. She doesn’t take it out of the box but places her fingers inside petting the pendent on the bracelet. It’s a silver bracelet, with a pendent with a picture of two little kids playing under the moon. It reminded me so much of our childhood, but now that I think about it. What if she doesn’t want to remember that part of her life?
She looks up at me, tears threatening to leave her eyes. “I love it, Liam. Thank you.” She says looking back at the bracelet lovingly. I look down hoping she’s being honest. “What’s wrong?” She asks me, my eyes dart up to hers as she gets closer to me. “When I saw it, I instantly thought of you. I’ve actually had it for awhile. I found it when I went to Alpha training a couple years ago. But watching you open it I realized you might not want to remember that part of your life.” I answer, feeling shy for some reason. I hate that she brings out all these emotions in me, but I also love it because it’s only for her. I could only ever be this way with her.
It’s like she cracked open a door inside me when she started talking to us again, and then when she invited me to her birthday dinner she swung it wide open. I couldn’t close it again if I tried. She makes me feel like my old self again, something I don’t think I’ve felt since the day I turned my back to her.
She gets off the bed and stands in front of me, pulling my face to look at hers. “Liam… Some of the best parts of my life happened while I was with you as kids. And yes, over the years I’ve regretted many things, things I could have done or handled differently.” She pauses to look over my face, seemingly trying to make sure I hear her.” I’ve never regretted our time together as kids. I loved every minute of it and wouldn’t change it for the world. Even if we weren’t talking now, I always looked back on our childhood with fondness. Actually, half the time I wished we could go back and stay there, before the reality of our lives became known.” She finishes still reading over my face.
