Thanks be to EBT.
I moved your hand away.
"You can't have it both ways. And I'm not doing this anymore," I said.
I pushed past you to pick up my calculus book from the floor. I needed to get away from you and stop the way my body was reacting.
The way it always reacts to you.
"You can't be with her and be with me," I said, leaning against your desk and staring at the floor.
"I'm not breaking up with Bella," you said forcefully. "I love her. Whether you believe that or not, I do. She's everything to me."
And my stomach dropped.
"Then that's my answer."
Before I could move away from your desk and leave, you were standing in front of me.
"I don't want you to leave. I know that makes me an asshole, but I can't help whatever this is."
And with that, you leaned in and kissed me.
