5:15pm

I pull into Somon's driveway and cut the engine, sitting there for a second before getting out.

She finally stopped throwing curveballs at me.

I'd been trying to make this woman mine for over a year now, and every time I thought I was getting somewhere with her, she'd switch shit up on me. Pull me close, then push me away. Give me just enough to make me think we were finally on the same page, then suddenly act like I was asking for too much.

But lately?

Shit been different.

I haven't officially asked her to be my girlfriend again since the last time. Honestly, I've been contemplating whether I even need to.

She know she not going nowhere.

At least, that's how I see it.

Somon got us moving at a damn snail's pace right now, though. Her idea, not mine. She said if we were serious about starting fresh, we needed to stop having so much sex and actually focus on getting to know each other.

Which... I couldn't really argue with.

Because fucking was primarily what we did.

A lot.

We could turn damn near any situation sexual without even trying, so I understood what she meant. If we wanted whatever this was between us to become something real, we probably needed to figure out whether we could spend time together without ending up naked.

I can sacrifice.

She worth the blue balls.

Besides, there's more about Somon that keeps me interested than sex anyway.

It's the mystery of her.

She doesn't talk much about her past, and I try not to press her into doing so. Truthfully, a part of me likes trying to figure her out. She's unpredictable in this alluring-ass way that keeps me wondering what's going on behind those eyes.

Just when I think I got her figured out, she'll say something or do something that reminds me I don't know nearly as much as I thought.

The most I've done is run a background check on her.

And even doing that made me feel a little grimy.

I could've looked further. I got the resources to find out damn near anything I want if I'm determined enough, but that would've felt like disrespecting her. If Somon got things in her past she doesn't want me knowing yet, I want her to eventually trust me enough to tell me herself.

I can wait.

From what I can read, though, she's had a troubled past.

Exactly how troubled, I don't know.

Maybe one day she'll be comfortable enough to open up to me about it.

About herself.

I do at least know she has a distant relationship with her siblings. And her parents?

Shit.

I learned real quick not to go there.

If I even mention her parents or say something that gets too close to the thought of them, her whole mood changes. She'll shut down and give me the silent treatment for hours.
