To make amends, I'll give a copy of the ebook away. Just leave a comment!!
I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. “Look, Noel. I
didn’t come here to fight with you.”
Noel raises a pierced eyebrow. “Really? Tell me then, Lane,
why did you come here?”
‘Lane.’ It’s been so long since I’ve heard that. Noel is the
only person alive who shortens my name.
I shake the memories away. This isn’t a time to reminisce.
It’s time to get down to business. “Well…” I clear my throat. “I’m an intern at
Center Stage Marketing, and my boss, Diana Swagger, flew me down here to
discuss Black Falcon’s charity with you.”
“You?” He shakes his head. “Out of all the people in the
entire fucking world, they send you down here to talk to me. Did they think
because we’ve fucked before I wouldn’t fire you?”
My hands ball into fists at my side. “How can you say that
to me? I’m not one of your groupie whores, Noel. What we had was real!”
He lays his guitar down and stands in front of me—his six
foot two frame towers over me. “Then why did you leave me, huh? Tell me that.
If it was so real, why did you walk away from it?”
I can’t look at him. The reasons for me leaving him that
night, on the dock, are unbelievably selfish. Noel reaches out and takes a
strand of my brown hair between his fingers and twirls it just like he always
did when we were a couple.
I slap his hand away. His touch is just too soon.
The corners of his lips turn down. He reaches back up and
tucks the loose strand of my hair behind my ear. His fingertips linger on my
cheek. “Why do you always fight against the inevitable? You’ve always made
things so difficult.”
Oh wow! That was a great excerpt!
