we shared?

The problem is that it’s enough for me just to

get lost in the black hole of his eyes to forget every

caress, every kiss, every night I spent with Nate,

certified asshole who was disappointed with life

and if I wasn’t pregnant by my ex.

the tables when the guys start their initial song. At

Liam’s first words I start to shake and set the tray

down on another table before everything falls to

the ground.

Say the word and I will be your man, your man.

I breathe in slowly to gain control of my

emotions, but it seems like I’m not the one in

control, they just do whatever they want.

Say when… And my own two hands will comfort

you … Tonight, tonight … Say when … And my

own two arms will carry you … Tonight, tonight.3

I can’t look at him; I can’t raise my glance right

I’m thinking.

I’m stupid and misguided.

and what do I do? I’m surprised to feel desire … to

hope what? That he would be interested in me? A

girl who is about to have someone else’s baby?

And then we’re talking about this guy.
