might injure
myself.”
“Easy there, I’m not done using your body yet.”
Danny said.
“Oh, oh, ow, ow. There it is. I just injured my
eyes. Massive eye roll damage.”
“Come here,” he said. Jenn pretended to put up a
fight, but in the end she let him get close and kiss her.
The cold night air pressed against her cheeks. She
felt happy in a way she hadn’t in a long time. She was alive. She
had Danny to thank for that. Up until tonight, the last person she
had been with had been Max, and she didn’t dwell on their time
together if she could help it. Whenever she found herself thinking
back about the times she and Max were together, no matter how fun
or exciting it had been at the time, they were now tainted with the
knowledge that Max was a cheater. Jenn couldn’t help but question
and doubt whether the feeling of connection with Max she had had
was all a lie.
There were no doubts with Danny, thought. For now
she put thoughts of what the future would bring and what exactly
she and Danny were to each other. Friends? More? Or was what
happened a one-time thing? Whatever the answer was, Jenn knew that
she felt that kind of intense connection that made everything so
vivid with Danny. There was no denying that.
She had been the one to say that she had to get
home. She wasn’t ready to spend the night with someone yet. Danny
didn’t put up a fight or try to change her mind. He walked her to
the door and opened it for her. In some ways, he was the perfect
gentleman.
But he didn’t kiss her when she left, and part of
Jenn felt disappointed that he didn’t.
Am I reading too much into that?
Maybe that was the sign that it was just a one-time
thing. They had both been through a life and death situation, after
all. Wasn’t it natural to let off some steam? Maybe this was just a
thing they needed to get out of their systems after coming a
heartbeat away from something truly awful?
Something nagged at Jenn. It was a tiny thought that
grew with each step she took. Finally she couldn’t ignore it any
longer.
Do I want this to be a one-time thing?
Jenn stopped in her tracks.
“I don’t know,” she said aloud.
