it already seemed like a different
lifetime. She let all her high school memories flood her, the good and the
bad, as she thought about all that had happened to bring her and Cole to this
point.
She smiled as Cole parked in front
of the beach by her house, where they had often used to walk.
“Feeling nostalgic, too?”she asked as she
followed him down to the sand. She removed her shoes, and let the cold waves
lap around her feet. Man, she missed this. She hadn’t realized just how much
she’d missed the ocean. It was like it was a part of her now, and she wasn’t
whole without it. Cole held her hand as they turned to walk along the shore.
“Maybe a little,”he smiled at her. “Do
you know how long it’s been since I was able to properly kiss you?” He stopped, and
pulled her into his arms. She gazed up at him, getting lost in his beautiful
gray eyes.
“Far too long,”she replied softly,
and pulled his lips down to hers. Bri’s heart swelled, so grateful that they
were here, together, despite everything that had tried to keep them apart. She
tried to show him how grateful she was for him, how much she loved him, and she
felt his answering love for her. A love so pure and deep, it still shocked
her. She was still getting used to feeling these kinds of intense emotions,
but she couldn’t deny that she was quickly becoming addicted to it. She loved
the rush his touch brought, the way his lips could ignite a fire inside her.
And she loved feeling like she was the most precious thing on earth, treasured
and cherished above anything else. She hoped he felt the same love and
devotion from her, as she tried to tell and show him every day exactly what he
meant to her.
Yes, she and Cole had overcome a lot
to reach this point. And as the future lay ahead of them, stretching vastly
before them like an endless ocean, Bri knew they could face whatever came their
way, becoming stronger and more unified because of it. Theirs was a future
worth hoping for, worth believing in, and she was excited to see where it
brought them.
Chapter 6
Cole had always loved fishing.
Getting up at the crack of dawn, the smell of the ocean, the sound of the boat
as it cut through the waves; everything about it. But most of all, he loved
the peace. No talking, it scared the fish away, no one to impress or
entertain. It was just him and his thoughts. It was nice to have some quiet
time to center himself. He hadn’t been fishing since he’d left for Duke, and
dang, he had missed it.
But this morning, his calm center
was a little harder to find, as some of his and Bri’s choice moments together
ran rampant through his head. Their make out session on the beach last night
replayed itself over, and over; as did that night in his room, when that idiot
Matt had barged in and interrupted them. He had been so close! He had waited
so long, and Bri had finally been ready, and bam! His stupid roommate ruined
everything, and sent Bri back into regression. She hadn’t said anything, but
Cole could tell that whatever readiness she’d had before had fled, and they
were back to square one: waiting, again.
Which was even more difficult now
that he’d had a small glimpse of what he was missing. Holy hell, he didn’t
think he could survive this much longer.
Imagining all the ways he wanted to
kill Matt made him feel slightly better. With no roommate to interrupt them,
things would be so much better. Longingly, he let his mind play out how
differently that night might have ended in a Matt-free world…
“Hey, Cole !”
He snapped out of his daydream,
realizing that someone had been shouting his name. “What?”he turned to Seb, a
little perturbed about being interrupted.
“Oh, nothing. Just thought you
might like to know you’ve got a bite on your line. I’m sorry, I thought you’d
come out to fish, not stare out at the ocean with a dopey grin on your
lifetime. She let all her high school memories flood her, the good and the
