else!”
“I’m sorry!” he yelled. “Please, tell me what I can do to make it better. Please, Jo, I want you; nothing has changed.”
“Everything changed the night you got into bed with Sara Blake,” I said quietly.
Blake reached for my face and wiped my tears away with his thumb. “I hate that I did this to you. I hate myself so fucking much for making you feel like this, but I am not the person that you think I am, Jo; I’m not. I am petrified, do you know that? Scared to death at how I feel about you. I have never wanted a relationship with anyone. There hasn’t been one single person that I have wanted to share my life with, until I met you,” Blake moved his body until it was flush with mine, his hands remained on my face, “I felt it you know; when we were filming and we would kiss? I knew that you weren’t acting, and neither was I, I had wanted to say something so many times but I could see that for some reason you were guarding yourself from me, why? I don’t know, but now, I wish I had just told you because now I hate myself for messing up any chance that we ever had of being happy together.”
“I want to hate you,” I whispered. “I really want to hate you Blake, but I …”
Blake slowly leaned forward and brushed his lips against mine. “Tell me to stop, Jo,” he said against my mouth. “Tell me to stop, and I will.” His lips brushed mine again. This time I opened my mouth slightly and gave him better access. His hands cupped my face gently as his lips brushed so slowly against mine over and over again.
“I’ve missed you,” he whispered against my lips between kisses. “I’m so sorry,” he said over and over.
“Stop,” I said almost silently. I couldn’t let him do this to me. “Just stop. Please.” Blake pulled away slightly as his eyes searched mine. “I can’t do this.”
“It’s okay,” he whispered before leaning in for another kiss.
“No. No, Blake, it’s not okay. Every time I look at you, I see her. I see you and her in bed together. I know we weren’t exclusive and it shouldn’t bother me, but it does, and it makes me feel physically sick thinking of the two of you together … like that.” I stepped out of his hold and unlocked the door before turning back to face him
“I can’t do this. You have no idea how hard it was for me to let you in, Blake. You have no idea at all.”
“Then tell me; tell me what to do,” he said firmly.
“There is nothing that you can do,” I replied simply before unlocking the door. I stepped out of the bathroom before turning once more to Blake. “Oh and by the way, Sara knew why I had left the party with Cooper, you do know that don’t you?” His eyebrows knitted together in confusion. “No … I didn’t think so,” I replied before walking away from him.
Cooper’s smile soon turned to a frown when he saw that I had been crying. He stood and made his way over to me. “Everything okay?” he asked.
“Can you take me home please? I don’t feel too good,” I lied.
“Sure.” he stood and placed his suit jacket over his arm and took my hand without asking any questions.
I didn’t look back to see whether Blake had followed me out of the bathroom. I had just made a massive mistake by letting him get close, and now the more that I remembered his lips on mine, the more I wanted him, and the more I could feel myself craving his touch. I needed to get the hell out of there.
Cooper was quiet on the ride back to my apartment, he knew something was wrong, but he never pressed me for any details.
“I’m sorry about tonight,” I said as we pulled into the underground parking at the apartment building.
He shut off the engine, removed his seatbelt and turned to me in his seat. “It’s okay, maybe we can try again another night soon, when you’re feeling up to it?” he asked.
“Definitely,” I agreed, removing my seat belt.
“Jo?”
“Yes?”
