At first , my eyes were wide in confusion , and I stared blankly as he closed his mouth over mine but the moment his hand slid up against my neck , my body was coated with goosebumps , His fingers ripped through my hair , and a moan instantly escaped me as he shoved me closer to him . I could feel my nips tightening against him , and his hand on my waist was slowly moving down to cup my ass . I could feel his hard pressing on my thighs despite him still being heavy with sleep and I didn't realize how deep I was into it until he pulled away and let out a whimper in dissatisfaction . His lips had barely pulled away from mine when he settled back , already drifting back into sleep like nothing had happened . My heart was still pounding . I couldn't even process what the hell that was . I waited until his 1 grip on my waist loosened , and then I carefully pulled away from him . Every shift made the mat crinkle under my knees , but he didn't wake . His breath stayed soft and slow . I stood , grabbed my hoodie and boots , and slipped out of the tent . The night air hit me immediately , crisp against my skin . I shoved my hands into the pockets of the hoodie and started walking aimlessly . There was a narrow trail just behind the camp area that curved toward the woods . 1 followed it until I reached a quiet lake . The moon floated on the surface of the water like a coin waiting to be touched I sat down on a flat rock , my knees pulled close to my chest . The silence was almost too much I had so many thoughts running through my mind all at once I couldn't stop thinking about how so much had happened in the short space of tonight first of all he said that I had chosen andrew over him four years ago that was scary to me did this mean that his memory had returned . I guess I could only get answers when he woke up tomorrow but it was still haunting me right now . I reached down and picked up a small pebble , tossing it into the lake . It made a soft splash My chest still felt tight . That kiss had done something to me . Something I couldn't explain . I pressed a palm over my lips like I could wipe the memory A twig snapped behind me . I jumped , heart slamming in my chest . Before I could turn , a hand covered my mouth and I screamed against it , " Hey hey hey , " a familiar voice said quickly . " It's just me . It's just Andrew. " He pulled his hand away fast , stepping back . I whipped around , eyes wide . " Are you crazy ? You scared the life out of me . " " I'm sorry ," he said , laughing softly , holding his hands up . " Didn't mean to sneak up on you . I saw someone walk off and figured it might be you . " I placed a hand on my chest . " You could have said something instead of grabbing me . " Chapter 33 " Yeah , my bad . I was trying to be quiet . Thought you might want company or maybe just a little air Isighed and turned back to the lake . Tjust needed space " He sat down next to me , not too close . " Same . Too much alcohol and drama . I figured the lake was a better place to sober up . " I picked up another pebble and threw it . It skipped twice before sinking . " You're good at that , " he said , midging me with his shoulder . " It's just pebbles . " " Still , it's kind of relaxing watching you do that . " I gave him a hall smile and stared at the lake again . The moon's reflection shifted as tiny ripples moved through the water . A frog croaked somewhere nearby . The breeze was cool enough to lift strands of my hair , " It's been a while since we actually talked , " he said , voice lower now . " Yeah . It has . " I pointed out , trying to hope for a distraction that wasn't Rick making me go absolutely insane . " I missed it . I missed you . " I turned to look at him . " Andrew … " " No , I know . You're married now . It's complicated , " he said quickly . " But still . I missed talking to you " I didn't say anything . My fingers rubbed the edges of another pebble , nails scratching against the surface . * You were always easy to be around ," he said , voice softer now . " Even when everything was messy , even when I knew there was someth more going on between you and Rick . " I blinked . " What do you mean something more ? " He shrugged . " Just …. the way you talk to each other . Like you want to scream and touch him at the same time . " My stomach turned , and I didn't know what to say . tick from the grass , poking it at the water , He reached down beside him and pulled a stick day felt like old times for a minute , " he added . " Before everything got complicated . " " Today " I'm glad we talked too , " I said after a moment . Wes sat in silence for a while . He glanced at me again , then slowly shifted his body so he was facing me . I could feel the tension change . His hand hovered near mine on the rock . His voice dropped . " You've changed but not in a bad way . You just … seem heavier . " " Life does that , " I murmured . He didn't speak . Just leaned in , slow . Not fast enough to surprise me . Slow enough to make me question if he was really about to do it His eyes flicked to my lips . I stopped breathing Chapter 33 ved , 27 Aug My heart was thudding again , too loud in the silence , He kept leaning closer and I realised what he was about to do when his eyes closed . Then … Click . The sound of a camera shutter cut through the stillness like a slap . We both jerked away immediately . My eyes flew to the trees behind us , chest pounding . The sound still echoed in my ears .
