After Dunkirk

Chapter 26

Georgia POV
I pull back.

"Sorry. I shouldn't ha-"

"No it's okay." I say.

Wait no, what am I saying?

I have a boyfriend.

Wait, I have a boyfriend.

Oh my god Alex.

"Oh my god! What time is it?" I ask her.

"It's a little past 3, why?" She ask.

"Oh no, I need to get home." I say.

"Wait, its 3 in the morning. What are you going to do walk?" She says.

"Yes it's not that far, I'll be fine." I say making my way towards the exit.

"Well let me at least call you a cab or I can even have one of my friends drop you off." She says.

"No it's fine, really. I'll be fine." I say.

I'm sort of annoyed now.

Why did she have kiss me?

And even more so, why did I kiss her back?

I honestly don't know why I did that.

I love Alex.

It was just a bad combination of alcohol and some sad feeling because I swear I didn't mean that.

Then it hits me.

Oh my gosh I just cheated on Alex!

I mean it was just a kiss, but it feels so wrong.

It didn't mean anything and I swear I didn't mean to do it.

The rest of the walk home I fight myself going back and forth with my guilty thoughts.

I feel terrible about what I just did but at the same time I want nothing more than to feel his embrace.

Is that selfish?

I open the door and I don't see Alex.

I kind of thought he'd be waiting for me in the living room like he was last time.

I go to the bedroom and see him in the bed.

His eyes are tired and desperately fighting sleep.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey Georgia." He says in a raspy tone.

I'm taken off by him not initiating any confrontation with me over what the events that occurred tonight, forgetting that he doesn't know anything of it.

He pulls me by the hips closer into him and I climb into the bed.

I wrap my arms around him and he likewise.

I needed this.

Selfish of me, yes I know but I needed to be able to feel him.
