If He Had Been With Me Summary Novels & Stories

If only he were by my side all these years… "To be honest, I am not but…." I was still speaking when he interrupted me. "I'm coming." My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him. Was I hearing things or did he just decide to come with us? "What?" I wanted to make sure what I heard was right.

“You’re here because you’re with me. And that’s all that matters.” But is that even enough? Me with him? I figured it wasn’t. And I am afraid that he might realize it sooner than I have expected.

My everything and beyond. He was right. There was no life without us together.

“I was with the in crowd.” “Was?” He didn’t answer me.

And we just had coffee so… “I’m sorry. We just had coffee.” “It’s okay. Some other time,” Ed drove us back. There was silence until Ed said, “You know you could have gone with him if you wanted to” he said seriously. “Like I said, we just had coffee.” I smiled and looked at him before continuing, “And you should know, I only enjoy drinking coffee…with you,” He turned to meet my gaze and smiled.

It's the first time we've sat together like this without being at each other's throats and it feels strange but not entirely unwelcome. "How are you holding up?" I ask finally. "I'm not." He laughs but there's no humor in it. "I keep thinking about all the ways I failed her, all the moments I should have been there and wasn't. I was supposed to be with you two but I stayed in that room with Aria instead. If I had been there I could have—" "To be fair, you couldn't have known they were coming," I cut him off. "None of us knew."

And I was going to do everything I could for him. Whatever happened and however it happened, I didn't know. But there was one thing I knew for sure. I belonged to Richard. And he belonged to me. End of discussion!

He had done it. I was his now.

Did I let it slip by any chance? "You're coming with me" he said, bringing me out of my train of thought. "What!!?" I blinked, convinced I had misheard him. "What did you just say?" I asked again. Mr Damon's gaze remained locked on mine, unwavering. "You’re coming with me on the trip" he repeated, his voice leaving no room for argument. Panic surged through me. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He was supposed to leave, and I was supposed to disappear. That was the plan.

I would've had a heart attack had it not been for him to step back. "Follow me" His deep voice sent a chill down my spine.I didn't ask anything but follow him quietly.Maybe it was the situation that made my brain freeze to think of anything but the way back home.Those two bikes were gone so were the dudes.I am surprised how I didn't realize their departure earlier.
