Excerpt -
"Come on in."
Hunter called from his spot sprawled on the floor in front of his sofa.
Chelsea walked into the
living room. "Hey."
He nodded, grabbed the
remote and muted the television.
Chelsea spun a kitchen
chair around and sat on it. "Okay, the silence's killing me. I'll start
with some lame conversation and you just leap in. How was the bio
midterm?"
"Passed it. Should
write all my exams with a hangover."
She tapped her fingernail
on her thigh. "Guess that was the end of the conversation starters."
Hunter levelled a glare at
her. "What do you want, Chelsea?"
"I want you to sound
less angry. I want to talk. I'd like to try and explain. First off, I'm so
sorry the cops hauled you in."
"No."
"No?" Her voice
squeaked.
"Todd was stalking
you. The cops had no idea if it was him or me. And from the questions asked,
I'd say some pretty weird things'd been happening."
She shuddered. "I
kept thinking I was being paranoid or something. But that's not why I'm
here."
Hunter slammed a fist on
the carpet. "I damn near slept with the coach's daughter! Why the hell
didn't you tell me?"
Chelsea watched the
tiredness in his eyes shift to rage. "Because... because...."
"I wouldn't date you
if I knew who you were."
"Yea and that's not
fair." She sat up taller and matched her gaze with his. "It's not my
fault your coach is my dad."
Hunter closed his eyes and
sighed. "I don't know what to do, Chelsea. My head hurts too damn much to
think."
"Damn it, Hunter, I
really like you. I don't want to lose you as a friend. I don't want to lose
us."
"I don't know if
there's going to be an us anymore." He rubbed his temples.
Chelsea sat behind him on
the sofa, slipped her hands under his and began massaging his head.
Hunter pushed her hands away.
Although it hurt him to say it, he said, "Go home, Chels. I need time to
think."
He refused to look at her.
He couldn't. He knew he'd give in, wrap his arms around her and beg her to
stay.
