“Hi, Will.” I would have heard her voice across a room full of people shouting.
I could see Simon staring at me, waiting for my reaction.
For a second, I considered ignoring her and pretending she wasn’t there. But I couldn’t ignore her if I tried.
“Hi, Aud.” The sight of her after not seeing her in a week hit me like a punch in the gut.
She had her hair pulled back in a long ponytail and her tank top and shorts hugged her body in a way that made me remember what it was like to feel that body pressed against mine.
“How-how are you?” she said, moving her hand to brush her hair over her shoulder, but forgetting it was up.
Sweaty, currently. Probably didn’t smell all that great. And missing her.
“I’m good. How are you?”
We moved out of the line so we could talk and I heard Simon ordering me a sandwich.
“Good . . . good.” She nodded and clasped her arms in front of her.
Shit, this was awkward.
“I thought you wanted me to leave you alone?” I hoped I didn’t sound like an asshole.
“I know. I do. But we can’t help it if we run into each other from time to time. We can at least be . . . cordial, right? Exchange small talk. Very small talk. Tiny talk. Micro talk.”
“I don’t want to talk about the weather with you, Aud.” That wasn’t necessarily true. I didn’t care what I talked with Audrey about, as long as we were talking.
“I know. I’m sorry. I should have left when I saw you, but . . .”
I took a step closer. “But, what?”
“But . . . nothing. I’m sorry. I need to go.” She turned and rushed away.
“What the hell are you doing?” Simon hissed. “Go after her!”
“Why? She doesn’t want me to.”
Simon shook his head as if I was being extremely stupid.
“She wants you. GO AFTER HER.” He stepped behind me and shoved, so I had no choice but to move forward. I’d seen Audrey disappear down the hall, probably into the locker room. Once I was moving, it was much easier to keep moving in the direction Audrey had gone.
I had one moment of hesitation outside the door to the women’s locker room. It was probably a really bad idea to barge in.
I barged in anyway.
“What the hell?” A woman washing her hands at the sink said. Huh. The women’s room was a lot nicer than the men’s room. What was up with that?
I hurried as fast as I could to look for Audrey without making too many other women upset. I definitely caught a few sans clothes, but I tried to cover my eyes and only stare directly ahead.
I found her leaning against a locker.
“Aud.” Her ponytail whipped as she turned around at the sound of my voice.
“Will! What are you doing in here?”
“I came to find you.” She gaped at me and then grabbed my arm and yanked me toward the door again.
“It’s a good thing I wasn’t just getting into the shower,” she said as soon as we were out in the hallway. “Or maybe you were hoping to catch me?” Her voice became a little flirty, which I wasn’t expecting. But then, this was Audrey. I never knew where her head was.
“If I said no, would you believe me?” I said, smiling a little bit.
“Maybe.”

SLOWLY WE TRUST
Chelsea M. Cameron
April 24th, 2014
New Adult Contemporary Romance
Audrey Valdez didn’t mean to fall for Will Anders. He isn’t her type. At all. But his goofy smile, Star Wars quotes and athletic body make it impossible. She’s lived so long in the darkness and Will is like the sun. He makes her laugh more than she has in years and cares for her more than her own family.
But there are things about Audrey that Will doesn’t know, things he can’t know. She tries to push him away, but he just ends up getting closer to her, and to her secret. Is the risk of losing him forever worth the chance a being with the only person she’s ever loved who has loved her back?
