CAN YOU ENVISION A LIFE without me? If the answer is yes, I'll let you go when the time comes. It will break me, but I'll do it for your happiness.
Since Satoru uttered those words a few days ago, they've haunted me day and night. From the moment he stepped back into my life, he's made me his top priority. And how did I repay him when he laid all his cards on the table? By gaping at him like a fish out of water.
Satoru is the kind of man every woman wishes she had. He would go to great lengths to protect me, is attentive to my every need, and has a gift for making me feel cherished and adored.
But that doesn't take away the shadow of doubt that this could all be an illusion. What if he wakes up one day and decides he doesn't want me anymore? Worst yet, what if I confess my feelings, only to discover later that our goals and aspirations don't align?
When things fell apart with Naoya, I was left shattered and broken; losing Satoru would devastate me beyond repair.
He hasn't brought up our conversation about the future again. I can only assume he's waiting for me to give him an answer when I'm ready.
What if I never am? Destined to be stuck in a perpetual state of unrest, too afraid to admit my love for the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.
There, I admit it.
I love Satoru Gojo.
I'm jolted from my thoughts as we pull up to his parents' house.
Joining the mile-high club with Satoru was hands down the most erotic sexual experience I've ever had. There was something exhilarating about being blind-folded and completely at his mercy.
Afterward, we cuddled in bed before returning to the cabin. I spent the rest of the flight working so that I can fully enjoy my weekend with Satoru and his family.
Satoru hands a hundred-dollar bill to the driver and retrieves our bags from the trunk. We're halfway up the driveway when the front door swings open.
"Levi, they've arrived," Hanako shouts as she runs across the porch to greet us. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe you're here." She throws her arms around me in a big hug, holding me close. "How are you, sweetie?"
"I'm good," I say with a smile.
"Is Satoru treating you well? I won't hesitate to set him straight if he isn't."
Satoru rolls his eyes. "Mom, I'm right here."
"That doesn't mean I can't—" She stops when she notices his short hair. "Oh, Satoru, your hair. You look so handsome." She presses a kiss on his cheek.
"Thanks. Y/n cut it," he says.
"You did a wonderful job," Hanako tells me, her voice catching.
I keep my eyes on Satoru. "Thank you," I say, and we share a knowing look.
