Free I Still Love You by Jane Lark Page B

to my face. But he wasn’t
that
sort of guy.
    All men looked. It didn’t mean all men let themselves touch.
    “Yeah, okay, I won’t get any sleep here anyway.”
    He picked up his pillow and stood, then lifted the pillow indicating for me to walk ahead.
    I went into the bathroom, while he lay down on the mattress, under the covers.
    When I came back in, he was watching me, one arm behind his head.
    I said nothing, walked to the other side and got in.
    He probably wouldn’t mind if I jumped him, but he’d have a hell of a conscience the next day when he spoke to his Lindy.
    I turned my back to him and felt him roll onto his stomach. My body was intensely aware of his, and all I could hear was his breathing as he drifted into sleep, while all I could smell was his shampoo, because he’d showered after I’d bathed.
    This had been a weird day, I’d finally left Declan and within hours I’d acquired a stranger. My brain wasn’t on the same page as where my life had gotten to. I’d walked out on the life of rich egotistical playboys, and into an opposite extreme.
    An ex had once called me a parasite––maybe I was. But maybe I didn’t want to be anymore.
