Make Me Forget Read Online Free Page A

back down next to her. Handing her the open bottle, I ask the same question.
    “Favorite movie?”
    “Nope. Not answering that.”
    “What? Why?”
    “Because you’ll laugh at me.” She shakes her head, and her hair falls from the messy knot she has it in. I’ve never seen anyone look so effortlessly beautiful. The ice surrounding me starts to melt from being near her warmth.
    “I’d never laugh at you, sweetheart.”
    “ Dirty Dancing ,” she says shyly.
    “Favorite food?” I ask, not sure why she’s so embarrassed.
    “Chinese. You?”
    “Breakfast food.”
    “Well, you certainly can make a kickass breakfast. Favorite color?”
    “Black.” I raise my eyebrows waiting for her reply.
    “White. Truck or car?”
    “Fast car. Favorite kind of music?”
    Her forehead creases when she thinks of an answer. “That’s too hard to answer. It depends on my mood. You?”
    “Rock, metal. I can’t stand pop music.”
    There’s a moment of silence before she breaks it. “Dream job?”
    “Firefighter. You?”
    “I don’t know yet. Biggest fear?”
    “Losing someone I love,” I answer before I think. “What’s your biggest fear?”
    “Well, now my answer is going to sound so trivial. It’s spiders.”
    I laugh and rub my chin, thinking of a question. When one pops into my mind, I snap my fingers. “Most embarrassing moment?”
    “Ugh. You had to go there, didn’t you? It’s so cliché, but I walked around a restaurant with toilet paper hanging off my shoe. My family saw it but didn’t say anything the entire meal. I was so embarrassed when I finally realized it. Then, when I bent down to take it off, I fell and hit my head on the table. Half of our drinks spilled and the whole restaurant saw. It was mortifying. You?”
    Her laughter is almost as hot as seeing her turned on. “I don’t get embarrassed. No, I take that back. My behavior last night was embarrassing.”
    She waves her hand in front of her face and makes a ‘pshh’ sound. She looks at the clock with wide eyes and stands. “I’ve gotta go. Do you need me to take you to your car?”
    As much as I want to spend more time with her, I know I need to let her go. “Nah. I’ll call Pierce and have him take me.”
    “That reminds me. How do you know him?”
    “From the gym. He’s also friends with my brother, Brandon. Since I moved here, I’ve pretty much picked up contracting jobs and go to the gym. I’ve gone out with Brandon and Pierce a few times, but mainly I know him from the gym. Besides, I don’t think he’d be too fond of us hanging out.”
    “Yeah, you’re probably right.” She bites her lip and rocks on her heels a couple times. “We probably shouldn’t tell him, he’s a little overprotective.”
    He seriously would kick my ass. I can hold my own, but Pierce trains in all types of martial arts. You don’t want to fuck with him. Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong. It was only a kiss. A ‘thank-you’. He doesn’t know that looking at his cousin makes my dick hard. I decide to agree with her.
    “Yeah. I’ll blow him off when he asks.”
    I can’t take my eyes off her, and she’s looking around the room, at everything but me. Shy. Fucking adorable. After last night, I’d never believe she has a shy bone in her body, but she said she wasn’t normally like that.
    There’s a moment of awkward silence before she clears her throat and finally looks at me. “Well, I guess I’ll see ya around. I’m only here for another month and a half before we go back to Texas.” She looks away from me for a second, then turns and grabs her keys off the counter.
    Fuck it. I should let her go, but I can’t without knowing when I’ll see her again. I need to see her again. Pierce invited me to his parents’ cookout next weekend. “You going to the barbecue Saturday?”
    “Definitely.” Her cheeks turn pink. “Are you?”
    “I am now.”
    She tries not to smile, and I grab her hand. “I’ll walk you out.”
    Once we
