Page 44 of Still Love You

"And would love to get to know you girls better," he says, sucking his gut in as Tana looks him over. 

He takes his phone out and Tana puts her number in, then says, "I put Tess' number in there too, in case Silas breaks up with his girlfriend." She winks at me, then the two of them walk off.

When they're gone, Trent says, "What the hell? You don't have a girlfriend. Did you see that chick? Freaking hot, and she was practically begging you to have sex with her."

"I have Willow."

He sighs and shakes his head. "For the last time, Willow is not your girlfriend. I know you love her but the girl has moved on. It's time to give up, bro."

"I had sex with her last night."

"No shit?" He grabs the basketball from me and tosses it aside. "I gotta hear about this." We go sit on the bench. "How did it happen?"

"I didn't plan on it. We went to dinner, then out for coffee, and on the way home I decided to stop by the farm."

"You did the look-at-the-stars trick, didn't you?" He nods knowingly. "Girls fall for that every time. I don't get it. What's so sexy about staring at the sky?"

"We didn't even get a chance to look at the sky. As soon as we got there, I kissed her and we couldn't stop. God, I wanted her so bad. Things heated up fast and I thought she'd tell me to stop, but she didn't. She wanted it as much as I did."

"And how was it?"

"Even better than I remembered. I swear, the two of us are made for each other, in every possible way."

"What happened when it was over?"

"I told her I love her and that I still want to spend the rest of my life with her."

He hits my arm. "You're such a girl. What guy says that shit?"

"A guy who's in love. You'd know that if you'd get in a real relationship."

"Relationships are too much work."

"And finding a new girl every week isn't?"

"Obviously not." He smiles and holds his phone up. "Or I wouldn't have got two phone numbers just now."

"That might've been because of me," I say, smiling.

He hits me again. "Shut up, asshole. You don't have to rub it in." He pats his belly. "I'll work this thing off in a couple weeks."

"The way you drink? I doubt it."

"So now what happens? Are you and Willow dating?"

"Probably not. She's not ready to agree to that. But I wouldn't be surprised if we had sex again. She may refuse to date me but I think she's going to want to repeat what we did last night."

"That good, huh?" He leans back on the bench, stretching his legs out.

"It's always good with her. Best sex I've ever had."

"And exactly how much sex have you had since you guys broke up?"

"I don't know. I wasn't keeping track."

He kicks the side of my foot. "Come on. You can tell me. You know I won't tell Willow. How many girls did you hook up with?"

"I'm not giving you numbers. At the time I thought for sure I'd never see her again so I let myself be with a lot of girls, especially right after Willow broke up with me. I was trying to move on, trying to forget about her. But hooking up with other girls just made me realize how much I wanted her back. I even called out her name while I was with another girl."
