“Does he know that?”
“I don’t know.”
“You should probably talk about that.” She paused. “Chase is calling me about tonight. Gotta go.”
She hung up before I could say anything else.
She had me thinking now. How could I bring this up? What if he got freaked that I was thinking this was more serious than he was?
I heard his truck pull up and I checked my hair and makeup one last time. I wasn’t going to worry about where this was going. We met only a few days ago, so I wasn’t going to stress. My parents tried to plan out my whole life for me, so for once I was going to go with the flow and have fun. Hopefully, some sexy fun.
Chapter Six ~ JT
“Forever Summer”
I was talking with Kara’s grandpa about the Green Bay Packers and their chances of winning a S
uper Bowl next season when she came into the room. I stopped talking mid-sentence, taken aback by the way she looked. I’d only seen her in shorts and t-shirts or her swimsuit and tonight she was wearing a light blue sundress. She left her long hair down and it curled along her shoulders in big waves. I felt underdressed in my khaki shorts and red polo shirt.
“Hey,” she smiled shyly at me.
“You look amazing,” I said, loving the way her cheeks got red with embarrassment at my compliment.
“Thank you. So where are we going tonight?” She asked as she gathered up her purse.
“I’m not sure. I have an idea, but it’s a surprise,” I winked at her.
“I hate surprises,” she groaned and her grandmother laughed.
“She really does hate surprises,” she said, coming over to give Karan a kiss on the cheek.
“Well, that’s too bad,” I retorted. “Because I love them.”
“Let’s go then.” She grabbed my hand and started to drag me to the door.
“Goodbye dear,” her grandma called out.
“Have fun and be safe,” her grandpa urged. When I was talking to him, he had his handgun on the table near him. I had a feeling that was no accident. He was a good guy though and was only looking out for his granddaughter.
She continued to pull me to the truck and when we got out of her grandparents’ view, I stopped and pulled her against me. I reached up and touched the hair by her face; it felt like silk and I wanted to bury my face in it.
“What are you doing, JT?” Her eyes were so wide and innocent and I loved the way my name sounded on her lips.
“Looking at you.” I cupped her face in my hands. “And I’ve been thinking of doing this all damn day.” I leaned in to kiss her, my lips gentle at first. She whimpered into my mouth and I almost lost all control right there in her grandparents’ driveway.
I ended the kiss and opened her truck door. “We better go before your grandparents find us naked out here.”
She grinned and climbed into the truck. I shut the door behind her and adjusted the bulge in my shorts before going over to get into the driver’s side. I told her last night I wanted to take things slow with her, but I was tempted to take her somewhere we could be alone and get naked.
I got in and started the truck. She reached out to take my hand as she looked out her window. It was such a small gesture, but meant so much to me. I lifted it to my lips and planted a soft kiss on the back of it. She turned her head and smiled and me.
I will never forget that one moment as long as I lived. In that one simple moment, I lost my heart to that girl forever. I wanted to say something, but I was too overcome with emotion. I also didn’t want to admit to her yet how much I’d fallen for her.
“So where are we going?” She asked again, breaking the spell of the moment.
I shook my head and smiled. “I’m not telling you.”
She stuck out her lower lip just a little bit and gave me the saddest look I’d ever seen – one I’m sure she was used to using to get her way with quite often. “Please?” She pleaded with me.
