“Then he’s a smart guy,” I tell him. “I’ve already said you’re my favorite person. Anyone who doesn’t feel the same is an idiot.”

Perry chuckles, his breath warm on my cheek. How much longer will we have this? Will I have him? Would he be willing to try a long-distance relationship?

“No one makes me feel as good as you.” He presses soft kisses to my neck.

Yes. We have to try the long-distance, or…I’ll hide in his bag if I have to. I can sneak to Boston with him, live in his closet, and eventually when he finds me, he’ll be like, well, I guess now I have to keep you.

He lifts his hands and starts playing with my pecs.

“When…when are you leaving?”

Perry’s hands stop moving, his lips stop kissing while I sit there trying to figure out what I said wrong.

“Theo…I’m not moving. I told him no.”

“What?” I whip my head around, slamming into his. Perry shoots backward on the bed, while I jerk my hand up and touch my throbbing head. “Shit. That hurt.”

“You’re telling me. You rang my bell pretty good.” He’s massaging his head too.

We both stop…look at each other…then burst into laughter. My stomach cramps, I’m losing it so much, and when we finally calm down, I turn and drop my head to his pec. “I’m so sorry I’m me.”

“Don’t ever be sorry about that. I love you because you’re you.”

My head jerks up again. This time, Perry foresees my move and leans back just in time.

“Even if you are dangerous.” He chuckles, but I don’t have it in me right now.

“Love me?”

He hesitates for a moment. It doesn’t happen often, but now it’s Perry’s cheeks that turn slightly pink. “Yes. I wanted to tell you after I fucked you, but then I worried it wasn’t the best time to say it, and you fell asleep, and then all hell broke loose.”

“You love me?” I ask again. “I just want to make sure I’m hearing you right.”

Perry reaches over, holds my face in his hands. “I’m crazy in love with you. I never expected a hookup mix-up to be the best thing that ever happened to me, but it was. I love you, and I’m really fucking scared here that you haven’t said it back yet.”

I want to jump to my feet and do a little dance. My heart is about ready to explode in my chest, but then I’d die, and I don’t want that. “I love you too. Oh my God. I’m sorry. Dude, I’m pretty sure I totally loved you first!”

His nose wrinkles. “How do you know? What if I loved you first?” Perry snickers, and I lean in, kiss his laugh, which he immediately shares with me.

“Is that why you’re not going to Boston? I can’t let you make that decision for me. That’s not right. Perry, you have to do what’s best for you. This is your family. Maybe we can try the long-distance thing for a while, and then…I don’t know. I’m willing to try and go out there, but only if you want me to. I was only kidding when I imagined hiding in your closet until you were stuck with me.”

“Wow. Your head has been very busy since I mentioned moving.”

“I’m serious. I love you too much to let you make that decision because of me.”

He shakes his head. “Which is exactly why I love you, but that’s not the only reason I’m doing it. I like California, and I like being close to Ty. I love my mom and I miss her, and I want to get to know my dad, but I want to do those things from here. I want to try school here. I agreed to let Dad help me pay for it, but I also don’t want to be completely dependent on him. I’m too independent for that. He doesn’t love it, but he understands.”

I smile.

Really fucking big.

“Someone is happy,” Perry teases.

“I am, but if you change your mind, please tell me. I just want you, baby. I don’t care if I have to go there. I’ll do whatever it takes to be with you.”

“And I won’t have you turning your world upside down for me either. Your happiness is just as important as mine. The good thing is that it keeps us both right where we are…only I have to admit, I’m a little upset that you were willing to let me go so easily.”

“I was literally going to live under your bed.”

“I thought it was in the closet?”

I kiss him. “I don’t care where it is. As long as you’re mine.”

“I agree with that. Can we make out now?”

“Abso-fucking-lutely.”
