Then slowly, everything came back, and I zeroed in on this insane pleasure. I rested my forehead on her shoulder blade, slowing my movements but not stopping.

Even though I'd given her all I had, I still needed this.

Chapter Twenty-Five

"Oh, it's so good to have a day together," Celia murmured.

We were both at the house, doing an indoor spa day, as I liked to call it. We put on face masks, and I even sliced cucumbers. We also made a honey mask for our feet and put on cotton socks so it soaked into our skin better.

My sister didn't have much time before her next shift, but I was happy that we could just hang out.

When she sighed loudly, I took off a cucumber, glancing at her.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering how we got so lucky. You know, that we live in the same city and can randomly meet on a Saturday morning and do face masks."

“I'm so happy I moved to Boston even if it was because of Chuck.”

She scoffed. I’d told her that he’d come to the house for his computer and what a jerk he was. "I still can't believe he had the nerve to ask you for that old, outdated laptop."

"It feels like he just needed a reason to meet and put me down some more. He wanted his old punching bag back so he could feel better about himself." Too bad for him he got someone completely different. Ugh. Seeing him that day put 100 percent closure on that whole relationship. “Although, I did do a bit of stalking. He is indeed starting a new business.”

"I still don't get why you told him to come when Gabe wasn't home."

I put my hand on my chest, biting my lower lip. "I'm not sure why either.”

“Gabe would have punched him into the next century. Which he deserved.”

“But that’s the thing. I didn't want to hide behind Gabe. I wanted to finally give him a piece of my mind, and I didn't want Gabe to have to face him. It was my issue. Somehow I felt like he would taint Gabe with his ugliness if he ever met him."

"Right, well, at least that's over, and now we know Gabe is a bit of a jealous guy."

I laughed. "Oh yeah, you could say that."

Celia removed the cucumber slices off her eyes. "Want to talk about it?"

I frowned. "Not sure. I mean, it pissed me off when it happened, but then he explained, and we made up." I blushed, not wanting to share any intimate details with my sister. "And I have to say, part of me also understands why he reacted like that. I didn't stop to think how I'd feel if the reverse were true. If I knew he'd let an ex come to the house on purpose when I wasn't here, I'd be jealous too."

"Yeah, I would not be chill either," Celia agreed. Then again, she was never chill.

She smiled at me. "Oh, if only I knew we'd end up here when you moved in with Gabe." She wiggled her eyebrows. "I guess that's close proximity for you, huh?"

I lifted my head. "Yeah."

She pointed at me. "You look worried."

"I just wonder what will happen after I move out."

Celia frowned, sitting up straighter on the bed. "What do you mean?"

“Well, his house is going to be ready soon, so he'll move out of here, and I’ll have to find another place to live."

"Oh, I'm going to kick his ass," she said and started to stand up.
