Fighting
For You—Excerpt
My car slowly pulled into the
parking lot and standing directly outside the bar door was Gabby, even from
afar I could see she was uncomfortable.
That’s when I noticed behind her was the most amazing man I’ve ever
known. Jeans, hoodie and a
beanie—everything about his appearance may seem plain but not to me. This was perfect—he fit my fading memory of
him perfectly. Strong jaw, downright
sexy body and those piercing blue eyes.
Even from afar I couldn’t miss those blues. They were all I thought about and now, they
were staring a whole straight through me.
Gabby lifted a hand and coyly
waved, as if she didn’t completely
blow our cover. My heart was in my
throat as I half considered turning around and speeding the hell out of this
parking lot. But I knew I couldn’t, I
was so drawn to this man and his intimidating glare that I couldn’t turn away
if I wanted to.
When I stopped my car, Corey
took hold of Gabby’s upper arm and led her to the passenger seat. He opened the door for her and helped her
in. I watched in complete awe, not truly
believing this was happening. That was
when he looked into my eyes and my heart melted. I saw it there—behind that cold, hard stare
was every ounce of pain and sorrow he felt.
That I caused. I felt the air leaving my lungs as I was
punched with the reality of what I did.
“Don’t you fucking dare drive
away.” He scolded, before slamming Gabby’s door. My eyes locked onto him as he stalked around
the front of my car towards my side.
“I am so damn sorry, Dani!” Gabby practically pleaded with me to
understand. Although I was pissed, I’d
deal with her later because right now all I could think of was Corey—my Corey—I hoped.
In a second he flung open my
driver’s side door and clenched the top of it until his knuckles turned
white. He leaned in and the same scent
of aftershave mixed with Corey hit me like a ton of bricks. I wanted to grab hold of his sweatshirt and
breath in the smell I missed so much. It
tickled my senses and my very-emotional-self wanted to break down and cry
because of how damn much I really did
miss him.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I opened my mouth to answer, but
nothing came out.
“You disappear for three goddamn
months and you come back and what—test
me!” Unfortunately, it was the naturally defensive side of me that spoke
up, not the apologetic side that should
have made an appearance.
“I was not testing you, I was
just…”
Corey immediately cut me
off. Steam practically billowed from his
ears.
“You just what, wanted to see
if I would hook up with any willing chick thrown into my face?”
“No!” I yelled back. “I just…”
Okay, maybe that was exactly what I did. “Fine! So what!
I just got back today and I wanted to know if you were back to your old
ways!”
His teeth grinded together—a
rarity for Corey.
“You left me hanging, thinking
everything was going to be fucking phenomenal when I woke up. That everything was going to be fucking perfect—I finally had the only woman
I’ve ever loved. Instead I wake up to a
note that broke my fucking heart. Every
single word pierced through me and left me with the aftertaste that I lost it
all. So don’t you for one second think
you can come back here and start throwing tests at me!”
Angry tears threatened to pour
out. The fight, the phenomenal sex, and
that note. It all came rushing back to
me and I felt the air once again being knocked from my lungs. I couldn’t be here anymore—I needed to go
home. Every harsh breath I took was
filled with Corey’s scent and it made this situation that much worse.
Before I could say anything,
he leaned in even closer and spoke again.
“And for your information—no—I
don’t fuck any random chick that walks into my bar. Want to know why?” It was clearly a
rhetorical question since he gave me no chance to respond.
“Because I am foolish in love
with this crazy woman who won’t stop running from me. I couldn’t forget her even if I tried and
she’s the only one I want to be
with. But she is too damn stubborn to
let that shit happen.”
I don’t think I’ve ever been
at such a loss for words as I was now.
By some cosmic miracle—Corey still loved me—but I was still hurting
him. I needed to do everything possible to
rectify the situation before it was too late.
Sadly though, I could hardly form a thought, let alone a sentence. My mouth hung open like a dead fish as I
stared at the man I loved.
“Get your ass home, its cold
as hell. You’re going to get sick if you
keep driving around like a maniac.” Corey’s tone softened ever so slightly
letting me hear the voice of the man I left behind.
“Okay.” I whispered out.
Corey sighed, the smell of
mint brushed against my face. My eyes
closed for a moment to hold in the smell—Lord—I was so pathetic. I opened my eyes in time to see him pull his
beanie off his head.
“Wear a hat from now on. You don’t want to catch cold.” He said, as he
adjusted the hat over my head. Pulling
it down enough to cover my ears.
We were inches apart and I
wanted nothing more than to lean my lips into his—the way I used to so
carelessly only months before. But I
didn’t. Instead Corey backed away and
took with him the warmth I craved from only him.
“Thank you.” I answered, my
eyes locked on his. Willing him to see
into the inner workings of my mind. To
hear everything I couldn’t say at this moment.
Corey went to shut the door,
stopped, and looked down at me.
“I’m glad you’re back.” With
that he shut the door and returned inside the bar. Leaving me as a ticking time bomb—ready to
break down at the slightest movement.
