“So that day, did you think we’d be here?”

“You know, I think even then I did. I knew there was something different about her from that first moment. I knew it, and you could see it too. I couldn’t see this at that time . . . but I think I knew we would be here.”

“I’m happy for you, man. You deserve this. You deserve her.”

The corners of my mouth tilted up in a smile and I looked back over at him. “Thanks, Mase.”

He just nodded before clearing his throat. “Let’s ge

t her to a bed, yeah?”

“Yeah.” I pressed my lips to Rachel’s neck and spoke softly in her ear as I let my fingers trail up and down her arms. “Wake up, Sour Patch. Time to go home.”

She groaned and turned in my arms, but went right back to sleep.

“Rachel, come on, babe. Let me take you home.”

Her only response was to nod her head and let it drop into my chest. I laughed and scooped her up before getting my legs beneath me, and standing with her in my arms.

“See you tomorrow?” I asked Mason. At his nod, I walked over to where my parents were talking with some of their friends and said good night before getting Rachel into my truck.

About halfway home, Rachel slowly started waking up.

“Where we going?” she mumbled.

“We’re going home, you fell asleep after all the fireworks.”

“Hmm . . . yeah. Where’s my Jeep?”

“Still at my parents. We’ll go get it tomorrow.”

“Yeah . . . ’kay.”

I smiled and squeezed her knee. She just groaned and swatted at my hand.

“Oh my God!” she yelled suddenly, and sat straight up.

“What?” I’d been slowing for a red light but slammed on the breaks at her outburst.

“I have something for you at home! I almost forgot!”

“You . . . Jesus Christ, Rach! I thought we were about to get hit or I was about to run over someone!”

“Well, get over it! We didn’t. Come on light, turn green, go, go, go, come on we have to get home!” She bounced up and down in her seat and looked at the empty streets around us.

“Fuck, swear to God you’re going to be the death of me.”

She stopped bouncing and turned to face me. Her dark blue eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms. “Keep being an asshole and you won’t get it.”

I couldn’t help it. A massive smile crossed my face. I put the car in park, unclicked her seat belt, and pulled her across the seat to me. “There’s my fiery girl. You’re such a cute little monster when you wake up.”

“I will cut you.”

“I said cute.”

“I hate you.”

“Liar.” I kissed her hard and trailed my hand in between her thighs, smiling more when her gasp filled the cab of my truck. She opened her legs wider and I moved my hand up her shorts; and just as my fingers touched the edge of her underwear, I removed my hand and pushed her back into her seat. “Put your seat belt on, the light’s green.”
