Ezekiel
You could strip me bare in front of a full room and I still would not feel as exposed as I did right then. It would not have felt like everyone in the room could see me down to my bones as they stared at me in shock.
It was the darkest and dirtiest secret I had ever kept. It was the one thing I would over analyze in my mind again and again as if it was the most complicated puzzle of all time. When had Adonis even taken notice of me?
It had been the question that had baffled me since I was eighteen and Adonis had swept in to kiss me when we were in the middle of the lake. We had been swimming the entire day lost in our own world because he did not want to go foraging with the rest of our high school class.
We had been lazing about in the sun and fishing for hours without getting bored. Keeping ourselves busy with terrible jokes and even worse impersonations of his father and my own. I was not his guard just yet by then but I had already been shadowing him for a long time.
