âYou even encouraged Jett to woo me,â she pointed out, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
The vulnerability in her gaze was something Bobby knew would haunt him forever.
He tenderly kissed her forehead. âMy mistake.â
Fannie averted her face, her voice steady yet cold. âI know what youâre trying to do, but Iâm not letting you have your way. If youâre that desperate, go find someone else.â
Bobby was slightly irritated as he questioned, âWho should I go find?â
Fannie raised an eyebrow, giving Bobby a skeptical look. âWith your friends here with their girlfriends, surely you arenât alone, right?â
Bobby retorted with a hint of irony, âWhat sort of person do you take me for?â
âQuite a terrible one.â
As Bobby chuckled, he leaned closer to Fannie and began to loosen his jacket. âIâve mentioned this beforeâdonât make judgments based on hearsay. Sure, I was a bit of a player, but Iâm not as bad as you imagine.â
Fannie eyed his movements, a surge of panic rising within her. âWhy are you undressing?â
âWhat do you think?â Bobby captured her hands in his, their fingers entwining. âThereâs no getting away now. Letâs just savor this moment,â he added, pressing his case as the only logical conclusion.
Despite herself, Fannie found her resistance waning. âDo you seriously have nothing going on with Judie?â
âNo. Youâve always been my one and only.â Bobby sealed his words with a kiss that slowly coaxed Fannieâs heart open.
From initial tension to blossoming enjoyment, Fannie gradually relaxed, her eyes closing as their breaths intertwined, carrying them on a wave of bliss that resonated with the rhythmic patter of rain outside.

Clutching Bobbyâs neck, Fannie reveled in a sensation that mirrored the exhilarating weightlessness of a motorcycle leaping off a cliff, her mind clearing of all but the joy of the moment.
As the first light of dawn filtered through the window, Fannie abruptly opened her eyes, her heart skipping a beat when she realized she was resting on Bobbyâs arm.
âWhat? Not quite accustomed to this?â Bobby teased, a playful glint in his eyes.
Fannieâs cheeks flushed a deep crimson, reminiscent of the blush that had painted her face the night before. She was at a loss for words and hastily sat up to get dressed.
Bobby, however, extended his long arm, pulling her back towards him and wrapping the blanket around them both. âSo, what does this make us now?â Fannie didnât expect Bobby to ask this.
Werenât they supposed to go their separate ways after last night? Noticing her hesitation, Bobby rolled her beneath him, pinning her on the bed. âTrying to dodge the question, are we?â
âThen what are we?â
