Chapter One Hundred–Thirty–Seven

FELIX

“How did you move so fast?” I asked, my heart banging against my the Maybe a tle more tipsy than I thought I was. But ho. It can’t be that. Because he was on the sofa, 1 was looking at him as I walked in the kitchen. Then all I did was turn off the stove which takes: three seconds, or five if you really wanna stretch things – then I turn back around and poof. He’s right on top of me.

Like… literally… on top of me.

He’s got me blocked against the pantry, with his arms bent at the ethos and his hands on each side of my head. And now he’s staring down at me with crazy eyes.

And something tells me that no matter where I end up, or who I end up with… it will always be him, for me. As crazy as it sounds, it is just something that I know,
