Corey: Then open your door.
I stared at the words on my screen for a few seconds before letting them register in my mind. Then I slid out of bed and looked at myself in the mirror before cracking open the door.
Corey was standing in the hallway with a cupcake in his hand, holding it out for me. “Jonathan told me to wait up for you since you made him promise not to. He’s downtown waiting for me to tell him you made it home okay.”
“You can tell him I’m okay.” I opened the door, and he came in, taking a seat at my desk.
He took out his phone and sent Jonathan a short text. Then he looked up at me. “Do you want to talk about it?”
“No...” I wiped a few stray tears away as I climbed into bed again. “Not really.”
“Okay. We won’t talk about it.”
He started to ask me about other things, and before I knew it I was laughing, and he ended up in bed next to me. I thought he was going to kiss me again, but he pulled the covers over me and told me goodnight.
Still, his kiss from weeks before had already stamped itself into my memories for years to come. I'd promised myself I would hold him a little tighter, kiss his lips a little harder, if he ever wanted to kiss me again, but he never let himself get that close to me after that.
