The days fly by. I focus on writing and work. I fail at any attempt to get Miles off my mind, or to stop stressing over my interactions with Amelia. I haven't received any of the harsh reactions I got from her that day at the office, but I'm always on alert. I'm always waiting for the next one.

I hate the way I made Miles feel, so I've been trying to make up for it. I've been pretending I'm not struggling with our close friendship. I might even fool someone with an outside look in, they would think we're just two besties. No romantic or sexual tension here, no sir.

But there's so much of it on my end.

As a single woman, pretending the way I am, I'm grateful for vibrating toys.

I really don’t know what I would do without them sometimes, but today it feels like I don’t know what to do with them. Nothing is enough fuel for this fire I’m trying to start. Not even the smutty book on my nightstand is doing the trick.

My racing mind knows exactly why I'm struggling, and it feels like an internal tug-of-war to keep avoiding it. The last thing I need is for my body to react to him more than it already does.

A knock on my front door interrupts my hopeless attempts. I sigh and stop what I'm doing. Not that there was much going on for someone to interrupt, but I'm still annoyed they showed up unannounced.

I pull my pajama pants on as I exit my room and make my way to peer through the peephole in my front door.

“Sorry!” I say, pulling it open. “What are you doing here?”

I should've known it was him.

Miles gives me a shy smile.

“I can’t find my wallet. I think I might have left it here the other night.”

A laugh bursts out of me as I let him inside.

“You’ve been driving without a license all week? You’re so bad.” I start helping him search, pulling pillows off my couch and feeling in between the cushions. I haven’t seen it anywhere, so I assume if it’s here that it’s got to be in some random, hidden place.

“It was pretty embarrassing when I pulled up to the gas station after waiting in line for twenty minutes only to find I had no way to pay for it.”

My attention is so focused on what I’m doing, that I don’t think about where he’s looking. I hear things being moved on my dining table, then the kitchen counter. I’m positive he won’t find it there, but I Iet him continue.

Unfortunately, his next stop doesn’t register as a problem until it’s too late. He’s stepped into the hallway, probably going to check the bathroom. In order to get there he has
