Está listo para reparar lo que perdimos, pero no me interesa dar una segunda oportunidad. Por desgracia, nunca se me ha dado bien resistirme a él, e incluso después de nuestro tiempo separados, las cosas no parecen haber cambiado.

Bueno, eso no es cierto. Muchas cosas están a punto de cambiar. Mucho más de lo que podríamos haber imaginado, pero todo empezó la primera vez que encontré el amor.

Chapter 1

Empacar para ir a la universidad está resultando ser más emocional de lo que esperaba. Hace tres meses, regresé a casa desde Ecuador, y no me sentí tan emocional viviendo allí el último año como me siento ahora. ¿Cómo es eso posible?

—¡Bryn! —escucho una voz familiar llamar desde abajo, seguida por el sonido de un bebé inquieto—. ¡Maldición! Está bien, Milly, sé que la tía B está por aquí en algún lugar.

Salgo de mi habitación y me detengo en la parte superior de las escaleras justo cuando mi hermana empieza a subir.

—¡Oh, gracias a Dios! ¿Puedes hablar con tu sobrina? Ha estado en pie de guerra toda la mañana.

Ella me entrega a la criatura problemática, y yo acepto el lindo bulto.

—¡Hola, preciosa! ¿Le has estado dando problemas a tu mamá?

Mi sobrina me da una sonrisa desdentada y agarra un puñado de mi cabello rizado y tira. Ya estoy tan acostumbrada que apenas lo noto, pero cuando intenta meter los mechones en su boca, tengo que intervenir. Me doy la vuelta y llevo a la pequeña Milly a mi habitación, que actualmente está llena de cajas. Mis padres insistieron en que dejara mi habitación tal como está, pero quiero darles la opción de usarla como cuarto de huéspedes mientras estoy en la universidad los próximos años. Voy a volver para las vacaciones, pero me quedaré al lado con Poppy y Zac en esas ocasiones. No puedo creer que compraran la casa, ya que es donde Zac creció, pero no pudieron soportar venderla cuando su mamá se mudó con su nuevo esposo. Así que Zac compró la casa y le propuso matrimonio a Poppy en la puerta donde solían sentarse juntos cuando eran niños un año después.

Hay mucha historia en ese lugar, así que en silencio me alegra que no haya ido a parar a otra familia.

Poppy entra en mi habitación y se deja caer en mi cama sin importarle que haya un montón de ropa debajo de ella.

—Mi hija me odia —gruñe antes de dejar escapar un gemido patético.

—Eso no es cierto, Poppy. Probablemente le están saliendo los dientes o algo así —le digo a mi sobrina, haciéndola reír adorablemente.

—Sí, seguro que debe ser eso y, sin embargo, deja de llorar en cuanto la sostienes. ¿Cómo puede quererte más cuando estuviste fuera del país los primeros tres meses de su vida? Te odio. ¿Por qué me dejaste en este momento crucial? —Mi hermana... siempre tan dramática.

—Estarás bien, además siempre puedo volver si las cosas se ponen realmente mal. Sabes que no te dejaría lidiar con esto sola.

Ella suspira y se sienta.

—No. Mereces tener una vida. Es solo que... te voy a extrañar.

—Yo también te extrañaré, hermana —le rodeo con un brazo y ella rápidamente me devuelve el abrazo.

Siempre hemos sido muy unidas, y me mata cada vez que tengo que irme, pero ya pospuse la universidad para poder hacer trabajo de caridad como asistente de enfermería en Ecuador. Necesitaba la experiencia para mis créditos de estudio de campo y quería obtenerlos temprano. Además, no estaba lista para estar aquí cuando todo sucedió. Polly debe ver la expresión en mi rostro porque agarra mi mano y la aprieta suavemente.

—¿No has sabido nada de él? —me pregunta.

No puedo evitar reírme de la idea.

—No. ¿Por qué lo haría? Él siguió adelante, así que yo necesito hacer lo mismo. Siempre seremos parte de la vida del otro por ti y Zac, pero nunca como antes.

—Ha pasado por mucho, B, tal vez necesite más tiempo —ofrece en su defensa.

—Ha tenido mucho tiempo. Cinco años para ser exactos y aún así no me ha llamado ni enviado un mensaje. Pensé que después de su lesión me contactaría y me rogaría que viniera a cuidarlo como siempre habíamos planeado, pero nada. No podía quedarme.

—Lo sé. Zac dice que las cosas no han ido bien. No está seguro de que Sawyer sea contratado con la forma en que va —sacude la cabeza y deja escapar un suspiro de decepción—. No puedo creer que se rinda después de todo lo que ha hecho para llegar hasta aquí.

El hermano de Zac, Sawyer, solía ser mi mejor amigo. Cuando su familia se mudó después de que su papá se fue, vi a Sawyer una vez y supe que íbamos a ser amigos. Era un pequeño punk gruñón y malhumorado, y yo era el rayo de sol que rompía toda su oscuridad. No es que no tuviera derecho a odiar al mundo después de que su papá se fue, solo tenía siete años en ese momento. Un año mayor que yo.

El día que se mudaron, me acerqué con un plato de cupcakes veganos y le dije que ahora era su amiga. El idiota me cerró la puerta en la cara. Así que Poppy se acercó conmigo para regañarlo, pero Zac abrió la puerta en su lugar. Fue amor de cachorros a primera vista para ellos, y han sido inseparables desde entonces. Todos sabían que Poppy era la chica de Zac, incluso cuando tenían nueve años. Sawyer, por otro lado, no quería hablar con nadie.

¿Qué hice entonces? No me rendí. Todos los días en el almuerzo le llevaba un pequeño regalo y me sentaba en su mesa a hablarle sin parar. Me lanzaba algunas miradas molestas, pero nunca se levantaba y se iba. Poco a poco se fue ablandando conmigo, y todo fue cuesta abajo desde allí. Nos convertimos en mejores amigos y en los únicos amigos del otro durante años. Eso fue hasta que él comenzó su primer año de secundaria y yo me quedé para terminar la escuela media sola.

Siempre fue un buen patinador y, gracias a lo frío que se pone por aquí, construíamos nuestra propia pista de patinaje en el patio trasero para que todos pudiéramos patinar juntos. Sawyer era increíble y rápidamente se metió en el hockey, así que cuando llegaron las pruebas en su primer año, entró y salió como jugador.

Al principio, nada realmente cambió, aparte de que ya no podía sentarme con él en el almuerzo. Llegaba a casa lleno de moretones y frustrado porque era un perfeccionista y nunca le gustaba cómo jugaba en un partido o en una práctica. Me sentaba a su lado en su cama y lo vendaba mientras él se desahogaba conmigo. Vendarlo siempre fue mi trabajo y eso me motivó a querer estudiar medicina deportiva y fisioterapia. Nuestro plan era que Sawyer fuera seleccionado y yo me postularía para el mismo equipo.

Ese plan comenzó a desvanecerse lentamente a medida que él se ocupaba más. Pronto empezó a traer a los miembros del equipo a su casa, donde se divertían y hacían fiestas cuando su mamá no estaba. A los chicos no les gustaba que yo estuviera cerca, así que esperaba hasta que se fueran para pasar el rato con Sawyer. Luego empezó a poner excusas para no pasar tiempo conmigo, y luego me excluyó por completo. En la escuela me ignoraba y solo aparecía en mi casa para que lo vendara porque, según él, yo era la mejor en eso.

En mi estado ingenuo, acepté las pequeñas migajas que me lanzaba, pero estaba miserable. Así que, cuando Sawyer fue reclutado por una universidad increíble, no me molesté en despedirme. Lo miré desde mi ventana mientras subía a su coche y esperaba que se volviera y me buscara, pero no lo hizo. Supe entonces que había perdido a mi amigo para siempre. Así que decidí seguir adelante y comenzar mi propio camino para cumplir mis sueños. Todavía quería estudiar medicina deportiva, pero decidí que lo haría porque me encanta y no porque quisiera estar patéticamente con Sawyer para siempre.

Cuando me ofrecieron la oportunidad de hacer una pasantía, la tomé y no miré atrás. Aproximadamente seis meses después de mi año de pasantía en Ecuador, recibí una llamada de Poppy llorando. Dijo que Sawyer se había lesionado y que no era bueno. Se suponía que iba a ser una selección temprana en el draft, pero de repente estaba herido y en el banquillo. Todos sus sueños se estaban desvaneciendo y yo estaba a miles de kilómetros de distancia.

No estaba segura de qué hacer, pero no podía dejar que él lidiara con esto solo, así que lo llamé. Nunca respondió ni se puso en contacto conmigo. Eventualmente tuve que rendirme y dejar de preocuparme por alguien que no me quería en su vida. Ahora estoy avanzando a la siguiente etapa de mi viaje y trato de no pensar en el idiota jugador de hockey al que solía llamar mi amigo.

"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
