Savor You

“It’s Addie,” I say. You know I don’t want to interrupt you, but we want to make sure you’re having fun. Do you need me to “create” an issue so you can escape?

I laugh and reply with, No, I’m fine. Thank you.

“There’s nothing wrong with your ego.”

“There is now that you’ve had a go at it,” he says, but he’s laughing with me.

The couple sitting next to us both look over at us in shock.

“Having a private conversation here, but that’s okay. Do that to her later.” Camden suggests to the man,

“Did you grow?”

“I don’t think so.”

“I don’t remember you being so tall.”

“You’re pint-sized,” he replies and kisses me on the head.

He smiles against my lips before he kisses me once more and then pulls away.

“Wow,” I whisper. “So you’re not impotent after all.”

“Excuse me?”

My eyes fly open in horror. “I didn’t mean to say that out loud. Ignore that.”

“Was there a rumor going around that I’m impotent?”

“Whether you believe me or not, I think you’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever met.”

“Okay.”

“And I’m going to kiss you.”

Her eyes jump up to meet mine.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“I need to apologize,” she says. “And not just about this morning. I was talking with Cami and Landon last night, and for the first time since before, I let myself think about everything that happened. I was wrong, Camden.

“I’m so, so sorry,” she says again and turns to look at me. “I overslept. I never do that. Is that coffee for me?”

“Under one condition,” I reply and pass my phone to her. “Put your number into my phone and you can have the coffee.”

“You’re holding the coffee hostage for my phone number?”

“Yes.”

“Yeah.” I sniffle and wipe my nose on his shirt.

“Did you just do what I think you did?”

“You’re still hugging me,” I reply, as if that explains it all. “You get what you get.”

“You really are a horrible human being,” he says.

“I know.” I sigh and finally hug him back. “I’m a bad person.”

“It’s okay.” Cami pats my back. “We’re still keeping you.”

“You got fucking married?” Landon yells.

“Don’t yell at me now, you idiot; it was ten years ago, and I’m not married anymore.” I roll my eyes and pace some more.
