And you’re telling me this why?

Other than the fact I love you and am not jealous at all but am madly in love with my own fiancé

Stevie: I can’t say yes, right?

If you say no, I am unfriending you right now

Gee, thanks

Why are you even questioning this?

Because of my last relationship

It wasn’t even a relationship

He was a dickhead who clearly didn’t see how amazing you are

I sigh,sinking back into the oversize couch. All the lights are off, except for the TV flashing across the large room.

Bode

Soooo….

Stevie

Yes

You sure?

Yes

Can I ask you anything right now and you’ll say yes?

Stevie: No

Damn. And here I thought I could work this to my advantage

You got me to say yes to the important question

What else is there?

So much more, Stevie

So much more…

Oh God.His words send heat licking up my spine. Saying yes to the date was easy. Saying yes to more? I don’t know if I’ll be able to.

I’m far too into this man. I want him so badly, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to recover if Bode walks away.

Maybe I’ll just have to learn to say no…

STEVIE

“Are you sure this looks okay?” I hold the phone in the mirror so Crestina can see the outfit I’m wearing. It’s nothing fancy, simple really.

It’s a plain black cardigan that dips low, tucked into wide-leg jeans, finished off with a brown, woven belt and black ankle booties. I stack the few gold chain necklaces I have to make it look a bit nicer.
