The Love Words
Chloe Caldwell was my nemesis in high school. Or maybe I was hers.
I
met Chloe during one of the worst times of my life and she called me out
as the troublemaking, mischievous jerk I was. After eight years, she
still hates me.
But I’m not some punk kid anymore.
I have a
daughter to raise, a life to build. Unfortunately for Chloe, that life
is in her hometown. The same small town she left years ago.
Now she’s back and to everyone else, she’s the same delightful, kind-hearted girl.
That’s not the Chloe I get.
No,
I get the woman hell-bent on vengeance. Her attempts at putting me in
my place only make me want to smack her sweet, sassy backside. I crave
her salty attitude and angry jabs.
When our animosity starts affecting my daughter, a truce is formed.
Hot, needy glances slowly replace scathing glares.
Still,
I don’t dare hope for more. Even if everything inside me is aching to
explore her, possess her—I can’t. Because I know she would want it all.
She’d want what I’ve never given to any woman before her.
She’d want all my love words.
