Her eyes narrow. Yeah, bets are a bit of a sore subject. But I don't see another way to make this happen.

"Okay." She taps her fingers against her thigh. "I bet I'll stay awake. What are the terms?"

"You're registering for classes this weekend?"

"Yeah. And?"

"If you fall asleep, you have to register for a creative writing class."

"I don't know..."

"If you're sure, what's it hurt to bet?"

&nbs

p; She presses her lips to one side. "If I win, I get to pick your next tattoo. And you get no veto power."

"Harsh."

"Well, if you're sure, what's it hurt to bet?" She smiles as she throws my words back at me.

"True." I am sure. And I actually trust her not to fuck me over. Even though I deserve it. "You're on."

Chapter Nineteen

Kaylee

There are arms around me.

Strong arms.

Lines of ink wrap around soft skin.

Brendon's sleeve.

His footsteps are steady as he moves down the hallway.

He kicks open my door.

The room is dark except for those glow-in-the-dark stars. It's perfect. Romantic. Sweet.

I'm in his arms under the stars.

He lowers me onto the bed.

His fingers skim my temples as he slides my glasses off my face. He folds them carefully. Like they're precious jewels.

My eyelids flutter together. Then apart.

He's looking down at me with those dark eyes.

He's going to leave.

He can't.

I reach up for him. Curl my fingers around his wrist. "I guess I lost."

He nods. "You even remember which movie we were on?"
