“I need to know,” he says staring lovingly with all the hope in the world into my eyes.
But I can’t agree. I have to think about it. I can’t decide right now. This is too quick.
“Give me a while.” I softly mutter and rub my fingers over his lips. He smiles and kisses the tips making my heart soar.
“I need to know Alexis. I’ll give you till Monday. And here.” He hands me my phone and cab fare. “Go home. Take the weekend. Do the girl thing and call all your friends and tell me a definite by Monday please,” he pleads strongly.
I nod. “Okay, Monday. But if I decide this isn’t going to happen you have to promise not to turn your mom or sister against me,” I add to his negotiation.
He scoffs a laugh and pulls me into a meaningful embrace. “Baby, I could never do that. They love you more than they do me.” He kisses my head.
I want to stay like this forever in his thick warm arms enveloping me, keeping me safe from the world. Why is my life so complicated? Why is he changing his mind? I don’t know but I’ve got two days to think on it.
I pull away and lean up kissing his cheek softly. “I’ll let you know soon.” I say.
He sighs and frowns watching me as I wave to him as I hail a cab and head back off into the world of fucking strange men and deciding how I feel about moving in with Brad. What a day.
