There’s
only one place in the world where I feel normal—the roller derby
track. When I put on my skates and fasten my helmet, I’m powerful
and in charge. I know exactly what to do and what to say. The rules
are clear and everyone does exactly what they’re supposed to,
penalties are enforced for those who don’t.
But
in the real world, I’m far from powerful and in charge. I never
know exactly what to do and say. For years, I counted on one person
to be exactly who he said he was—my best friend -Wyatt Tanaka.
Only
he's changed. Being a Marine and serving in a war has made him
different. Now I want to help him, but I also want to kiss him. And
that’s not something best friends do.
Neither
of us, it seems, is content being just friends anymore. If we cross
that line, change the rules of our relationship, it could be
wonderful and everything I've ever wanted.
But
it might also mean I'll lose the one person I've come to rely on and
I don't think my heart can take it.
Wish
for You
Excerpts:
#1-
Lacey- My
throat gets all lumpy again, and I bite my lip to keep from crying.
For him to get so mad over me
telling him that we can’t kiss anymore… that we had to go back to
being only friends again. I just don’t get it. After all, it was
just a kiss or two, nothing life altering
Okay, so it was more than just one
kiss or two. It was tons of kisses, tons of his hands on my face and
shoulders. His hands coasting down the sides of my body, tenderly and
carefully, as if he was afraid I might break. His lips crushing mine.
His breath becoming mine. I was his, and though we never did more
than that, though his hands stayed on top of my clothes… I felt
branded by him.
#2-
Wyatt- Lately, I’ve come to realize how easy I had it in the
‘Stan. While I was there, I had no idea how her lips tasted, how
her breaths came out in little pants when I rocked against her... No
way of knowing just how damn good the curves I’d lusted after while
she skated in short skirts and tight tops would feel. Ignorance was
total bliss, and dreaming of her while in that shithole was Heaven.
I’m no longer ignorant, and this
is a new level of Hell.
