hands down on either side of my head. I stop struggling when I feel the tears slip out, my chest heaving as a sob escapes my lips.
“ It’s not like that Harley. I care about her but not like that. Not like you, I only love you baby…only you.” He bends down and rests his cheek against mine snuggling into me.
“Calm down baby, it kills me to see you like this.” He says with a strained voice. His long hair tickles my face as he holds me tight. I keep moving my face away from his but he forces our cheeks to touch, I don’t have room to move.
I finally calm myself down enough to talk, “You danced with her…” I say softly still full of hurt. “You didn’t dance with me, you ignored me Caleb. You forgot I was even around, but you danced with her .”
A pained look comes across his face, he lets go of my hands and sits up still straddling me. He covers his face with his hands then moves it through his hair before letting out a deep breath.
“I fucked up baby. I handled the situation badly and I get that now Harley. I was surprised to see her there. She was supposed to be…” he pauses and looks away for a moment before continuing. His eyes find mine again as he speaks. “…she just wasn’t supposed to be in your fathers bar. And when I told Brent to stay away from her, I was saying that for his sake. She’s no good for him. We dated for a while but she knew my heart still belonged to you, she knew all about you baby. She and I ended things on good terms but the girl has too many issues, issues with her father and just personal shit she needed to deal with, she needed help but I couldn’t be her shoulder to cry on anymore, I needed space and I told her that. She said she was going to get help but she disappeared and tonight was the first time I’ve seen her since then. I didn’t dance with her, she dragged me along and I took the opportunity to talk to her alone.” His expression is sincere as he looks down at me, speaking as if it hurts to talk about it. “I’m not going to get into too much detail because it’s her shit to tell but you saw how high she was, right? I needed to confront her about it but I didn’t want to do it in front of everyone in case she caused a scene. I told her she needed to leave, that I don’t feel comfortable being around her when she is like that. I returned to the booth to apologise to you and that’s when the boys told me you were gone.” He rests his forehead against mine.
I close my eyes when his hair falls in my eyes.
“Fuck….I’m so sorry baby. I was so fixated on keeping her away from you that I didn’t realize I was ignoring you. She knows how much I love you but she’s unstable when she’s high and can be one mean bitch when she doesn’t get her way. I promise you Harley I didn’t mean to hurt you and I didn’t mean to ignore you either. You know I’d do anything to keep you.” His voice is full of pain.
I look into blue eyes that stare into my own in the dim room, he looks so fragile and I’m not used to seeing Caleb this way.
“Don’t…don’t ever treat me that way again Caleb, I can’t take it... I won’t. You don’t know what it felt like being ignored like that! It fucking hurt watching you two together. I don’t want to ever feel that way again!” My voice breaks as I firmly say the words. His face shows so much pain as he nods. He bends down and kisses my nose ever so softly, then slides his nose down my cheek and presses his lips to mine.
He’s so close that I can feel his warm breath against my lips. I’m still so angry with him but I just can’t resist considering his closeness. My one hand softly moves to the back of his head and slides through his hair as I bring his lips down to meet mine. I can feel the sheet being pulled in his fists as he squeezes the linen but the tense muscles in his shoulders and upper back relax under my touch.
My other hand goes to the bottom of his shirt; I place it underneath and feel his
