I’d f*****g messed up.
I should have never dated Clara. I should have never started something with her that I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish.
Scarlett felt guilty; I could sense her guilt the entire drive back home to her house. I didn’t want to make her feel like this. But I also didn’t want to let her go. At least not yet. I knew one day I’d have to gain the strength to stay away from her, but I wasn’t ready for it yet. I needed more time with her. I was hoping that she would give it to me.
“I’m sorry if I did something you weren’t comfortable with.” I apologize. Even though I f*****g enjoyed every second of our time in my yacht, I would never touch her again if I knew that she didn’t want it also.
She doesn’t answer me. Instead, she looks out the window at her house. We’d just pulled up to it.
“I want to make it up to you.” I continue.
“Carter,” she whispers. “Please stop.”
It’s all she says to me before she opens the door and rushes back into her home.
I clench my jaw as I watch her leave.
f**k.
I want to run after her.
I want to speak to Clara and tell her I was f*****g crazy about her sister. I wanted to beg her not to blame Scarlett and put all blame on me.
However, I knew that I couldn’t. If I did, Scarlett would hate me for the rest of her life.
I press my head against the steering wheel.
What was the right move to make? How did I make this work between us?
