Introduction

Eu tinha um plano para o verão depois que minhas aulas da faculdade terminassem. Eu precisava de um emprego, já que recentemente perdi o meu e meu apartamento. Não posso ficar com meu irmão para sempre. Preciso do meu espaço de volta, e tenho certeza de que ele também precisa do dele.

Mas tudo isso está prestes a mudar quando o melhor amigo do meu irmão, Paxton, vem ficar conosco durante o verão, e meus planos vão por água abaixo.

Para o resto do mundo, Paxton é um astro do rock milionário, um bad boy que vive se metendo em encrenca. Para mim, ele é o cara que sempre estava por perto até que foi embora e se esqueceu de mim. Minha primeira paixão. Meu primeiro amor quando eu era adolescente, mesmo sabendo que ele nunca seria meu. Naquela época, ele era um bom rapaz com um coração enorme e alguém que faria qualquer coisa por qualquer pessoa. Ele se tornou uma sombra de si mesmo.

O que eu não esperava era que um verão mudaria tudo. Eu não esperava que Paxton me visse de uma maneira diferente. Digo a mim mesma que já superei ele há muito tempo, mas as coisas mudam quando começamos a passar mais tempo juntos. Vejo o antigo Paxton ressurgir, o verdadeiro, aquele por quem me apaixonei todos aqueles anos atrás, mas nada disso importa porque nada pode acontecer, não importa o quão próximos nos tornemos. Meu irmão o mataria. Nós nunca daríamos certo. Eu sou apenas uma garota nerd comum que adora se perder no mundo da ficção. E alguém como eu nunca deveria estar com alguém como Paxton. Eu nunca me encaixaria no novo mundo dele. Ele nunca estaria presente no meu.

Chapter 1

McKenna

Chego em casa da faculdade, bem, na casa do meu irmão. Estou morando com ele porque perdi meu apartamento e meu emprego há alguns meses, e ele me acolheu. Sei que nunca ficarei desamparada enquanto ele estiver por perto. Ele me criou desde que eu tinha doze anos, com a ajuda da nossa avó, depois que nossa mãe faleceu e nosso pai fugiu. Infelizmente, minha avó faleceu quando eu tinha quatorze anos, e ficamos só eu e Carter. Ele tinha vinte anos, mas nem pensou duas vezes em cuidar de mim. Ele abriu mão dos seus vinte anos para cuidar de mim. Algo pelo qual sempre serei grata.

Ele se ofereceu para me comprar um apartamento, mas eu disse não. Não podia aceitar esse tipo de dinheiro dele, então minha outra opção foi me mudar para a casa dele. Ajudo o máximo que posso, já que o emprego que tenho agora paga bem menos que o anterior porque é apenas meio período. Espero poder me mudar em alguns meses. Sinto que já roubei tanto da vida dele. Não quero que ele tenha que abrir mão de mais nada por minha causa. Sim, tenho vinte e dois anos, mas ele às vezes esquece disso e cuida de mim como fazia quando eu era adolescente.

Terminei as aulas para o verão, então espero encontrar um segundo emprego ou uma nova posição em tempo integral para ajudar com o fundo do meu apartamento. Quando estacionei na garagem, notei um carro desconhecido. Carter deve ter alguém em casa. Se fosse uma mulher, ele teria me mandado uma mensagem para avisar, e eu teria chegado mais tarde para dar-lhes privacidade. Deve ser um amigo ou algo relacionado ao trabalho. Meu irmão tem seu próprio negócio.

Pego minhas coisas e entro. Congelo no segundo em que entro pela porta da frente quando uma risada familiar ecoa pela casa. Não, não pode ser. Ele não pode estar aqui.

“McKenna, pode vir aqui, por favor?” Carter chama.

Tenho certeza de que estou imaginando coisas. Respiro fundo e vou para a sala de estar. Parece que não estou imaginando coisas. O melhor amigo do meu irmão, Paxton, está sentado no sofá ao lado dele. Para mim, ele é o melhor amigo do meu irmão, mas para todos os outros, ele é um dos maiores astros do rock do mundo.

O homem que não vejo há cerca de seis anos. Minha primeira paixão. Não, foi mais do que uma paixão. Sim, eu era jovem, mas ele foi meu primeiro amor, mesmo sabendo que nunca teria uma chance com ele. Paxton e Carter permaneceram próximos desde que ele foi embora, mas eu não tive notícias dele. Ele estava lá para Paxton e para mim quando passamos por alguns dos momentos mais difíceis de nossas vidas, mas depois ele desapareceu para perseguir seu sonho, e acredito que ele esqueceu que eu existia.

Paro e prendo a respiração no segundo em que meus olhos caem sobre Paxton. Ele ainda é tão incrivelmente bonito. Seu cabelo escuro está mais comprido do que costumava ser. Seus olhos escuros, quase negros, ainda parecem conter o mundo inteiro neles. Percebo o piercing na sobrancelha sobre o olho esquerdo e o no lábio também. Ele tem malhado, com certeza, seu peito e braços estão maiores. Sim, vi alguns vídeos e fotos dele online porque é impossível não ver, já que ele está em todo lugar. Só não prestei muita atenção porque demorei tanto para superá-lo, o que era patético considerando que ele nunca foi meu.

“Oi, Kenna, faz muito tempo,” Paxton diz e me lança seu lindo sorriso.

Engulo seco quando ele sorri. O sorriso dele sempre foi uma fraqueza para mim. Tenho certeza de que é o mesmo para muitas pessoas.

“O que você está fazendo aqui?” solto de repente.

Ele ri e se levanta, caminhando até mim, alto e confiante.

“Porque senti sua falta, covinhas.” Ele sorri.

Meu Deus, não ouço esse apelido há tanto tempo. Foi ele quem me deu porque, aparentemente, eu tenho covinhas quando sorrio.

“Não me chame assim! Não sou mais uma criança.” protesto.

Paxton me olha de cima a baixo, “Não, você cresceu bem, Kenna.”

Kenna é outro apelido que só Paxton me chama. Não gosto. Ninguém mais me chama assim, mas ele sempre chamou.

“Sério, por que você está aqui?”

A irritação está transparecendo na minha voz. Não deveria estar irritada com ele, mas por algum motivo, estou.

Paxton esfrega a nuca, um hábito nervoso que ele sempre teve, “Eu precisava fugir de tudo por um tempo. Carter disse que posso passar o verão aqui com vocês.”

Notei, pelo que vi online ou pelo que Carter disse sobre Paxton, que ele tem se metido em muitos problemas nos últimos anos. Bebida, drogas, festas, brigas, sendo rude com as pessoas, e tenho certeza de que ele foi pego com uma trabalhadora sexual em algum momento. Não faço ideia do que aconteceu com ele porque ele nunca foi assim. Sim, ele gostava de se divertir e gostava das mulheres, mas não ao ponto que parece agora. É uma pena porque ele costumava ser um dos bons, com um coração de ouro e respeitava as pessoas. A única coisa que consigo pensar é que a fama se tornou demais para ele.

“Ok.” dou de ombros.

Paxton me olha estranhamente, “Sério, não te vejo há seis anos e é só isso que você tem a dizer?”

“O que você espera que eu diga?”

“Posso pelo menos ganhar um abraço?” ele pergunta, seus grandes olhos de cachorro pidão olhando para mim.

Ele estende os braços. Hesito, mas me aproximo, e ele me envolve em um abraço apertado. Deus, ele cheira bem. Não, não posso seguir por esse caminho de novo. Abraço de volta, e quando faço isso, ele parece apertar mais.

“Não consigo respirar,” sussurro.

Ele ri e se afasta, “Desculpe, covinhas.”

Lanço um olhar fulminante para ele, “Eu disse para não me chamar assim.”

Um sorriso maroto surge em seus lábios, “Eu sei, mas não sou muito bom em ouvir.”

Reviro os olhos para ele, “Me chame assim de novo e você vai se arrepender.” resmungo.

Paxton se aproxima de mim, “Caramba, quando você ficou tão brava? Da última vez que te vi, você não dizia nem ‘boo’ para um rato.”

“As pessoas mudam. Você, mais do que ninguém, deveria saber disso.” retruco.

“Kenna, por que você parece estar brava comigo? Fiz algo para te chatear?”

Ele parece confuso e magoado com minha frieza.

“Não. Vou para o meu quarto.”

Viro e saio antes que ele tenha a chance de dizer mais alguma coisa. Corro para o meu quarto, fecho a porta e me encosto nela. Deixo minha bolsa cair no chão e gemo. Por que estou tão irritada com ele? Não havia necessidade de ser tão rude. Vou me desculpar com ele mais tarde. Sinto que talvez tenha mágoas acumuladas porque ele foi embora, e tenho problemas de abandono depois de perder todo mundo. Não é culpa dele. Ele foi embora para perseguir seus sonhos e fazer uma vida melhor para si, o que ele conseguiu.

Gemo de frustração comigo mesma e me jogo na cama. Preciso de um tempo para processar o fato de ele estar aqui. Tenho que me acostumar com isso se ele planeja ficar conosco o verão inteiro.
