Rash Decisions by Alex Rosa
Excerpt 1
JULIA FERRIS
My steps stop at the second door from the
end of the hall. Apartment 5031B. Close enough to that corner unit.
I swallow my last bout of giggles and
knock a few times. My hand barely lifts away from the door before it swings
open, and I’m stunned into awe.
Troy’s sapphire eyes burn into me as his
long fingers rub through soft, charcoal strands of hair.
Why do the jerks have to be the pretty
ones? Troy’s casual look throws my ovaries into overdrive. His leather bomber
jacket with a sweatshirt hoodie emerging from the collar makes him look like
the guy from the wrong part of town. However, it all clashes so wonderfully
with his bedhead of hair. His hair is always slicked back and sharp. He always
looks so severe. Now, I don’t know how to feel. His boy-next-door-but-I’d-totally-sneak-into-your-window-at-night look throws me.
“You’re early,” he barks harshly, and all
I can think is: oh, there it
is.
“Am I?” I gulp. “Do you want me to come
back?”
My insides recoil at my own question,
remembering that I’m the one doing him a favor.
His cheeks pink and his eyes soften, too.
I swear I might have actually turned into a puddle. My body wants to fall into
his arms, and it’s the most ridiculous feeling that I have ever felt.
“No-no. It’s fine. Please come in.”
My heart jolts in my chest at the real
life event of stepping into his home. I don’t know whether or not I should kick
myself over the circumstances of why, but I let it go.
I rush past the modern, granite kitchen,
drawn to the large open room, and the glittering view. I try to keep my jaw
safely sealed to my mouth as I enter. The space is stunning, and shockingly
warm. His expansive, contemporary window that dominates the living room gives
an almost tranquil effect to the cozy interior. Large, plush leather couches
sit in the center on dark cherry wood floors, and the maroon walls are adorned
with works of art and complete with a polished red brick fireplace. It all
makes me want to snuggle up, like a cabin in the sky-rise.
A giggle almost clucks its way through my
lips, but my rational side decides to finally catch up.
“You have a beautiful home, Troy.” I take
my eyes off the large bookshelf in the corner, noting its location for later,
and look at Troy. It’s a terrible idea as my eyes collide with apprehensively
searing blue ones. I wet my lips. “I didn’t know what to expect, but this is a
nice surprise.”
Troy Dillinger does this thing with his
mouth, I’ve noticed. He only ever does it when he’s curious, even if it’s a
reluctant curiosity. I’ve witnessed it so many damn times now that even my
hormones are asking to take a break. It’s when the corner of the right side of
his mouth tweaks upward into a brief smirk a certain way, if only for a couple
of seconds at a time. I’ve never seen anyone do it just like that. The look is
like a bullet shooting sharply into your heart, jolting your insides.
Is this normal?
He walks toward me from the kitchen,
sticking his hands into his black skinny jeans, and I notice his eyes traveling
over the length of my body again.
Yep,
definitely regret wearing a sweater.
“What did you expect?” he asks.
It’s a funny thing. Sometimes Troy’s
antagonizing is infuriating, but then again, sometimes it makes me relax, like
right now. I should probably give my therapist a call. This feels like a topic
we should cover.
“You don’t want to know,” I quip, pursing
my lips into a smirk, only igniting his own.
“I beg to differ—“
It’s as if I had forgotten why I’m here as
I see the seven-year-old Elizabeth barreling in from a hallway I hadn’t
noticed.
Oh, god. I’m here to babysit, not flirt.
Thanks so much for sharing the release of Rash Decisions! :)
