Halloooo, Snippeteers! This little excerpt comes from “Truck Me Back To Normal.”
Enjoy,

“Joey! We gotta talk. Please? Just talk, I swear.”
Worn out, I turned and leaned my head against the peeling paint. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Bear.”
“We either talk it out now, or it’ll happen in front of witnesses. You want that? Really?”
Grrr.
I opened the door and rested against the doorjamb. I was sure I looked a sight, and the spot I’d punched on Bear’s face was turning purple. Wonderful. “Talk.”
“Joey, I get that you’re worried about being relationship material for…well, anyone. But you have to try sometime, right? I’m okay with it being fucking around to start with, if that’s what
you need. I’m happy to go at whatever pace you want, in fact, as long as you don’t shut me out. Can’t we at least try to be friends? You need a friend, don’t you?”
I shook my head. “Bear, I don’t—”
He lifted a finger and pressed it against my lips. “I don’t, either. But maybe we can find out together, huh?” And then, he slowly pulled my traitorously willing body to his, and right there on a hot afternoon, with dirt on our clothes and grass in our hair, Bear kissed me, and I was lost.
