“Or just go with a small.” His smile returns and now I’m staring at his lips again.
“I think you mean tall.”
“I’ve always thought those names were stupid. Who calls a small a tall? Anyways, what’s your number?”
I give him the number, and he plugs it into his cell. “All right, I got it. I’ll hit you up after my last class, and we can go from there. Do you have a car?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, cool. Did you want to drive to the store together or meet up there?”
The question should be simple to answer. But my thoughts zoom right past Reasonable Street, blast right through Rationality Row, and crash directly into Hot Whispers in Close Quarters Avenue. I suddenly remember his breath against my ear and the touch of his skin when I rubbed his face last week. If we took the same car, could something happen? Get a grip, Izzy! It was one whisper. He’s talking about working on a class assignment with you, not trying to pick you up for a date.
“Meet up there,” I answer, but it sounds like a question.
“Okay.” He stares at me for what feels like just a moment too long. Did he want to ride together? Was he really flirting with me when he was whispering in my ear? “I’ll talk to you later.”
He turns and leaves, and I don’t do anything but watch him as he walks away.
“Yeah,” I reply to myself.
Turning around, I head in the opposite direction. It’s lunch, and I know I have to try and get a hold of myself. If for no other reason than if I’m acting all weird around Cindy and Veronica they are definitely going to know something’s up. I have no problem telling them about what happened in class, but if I do, I’m afraid I’ll just snowball it all together into seeing him at the convention. As much as I want to tell them, I don’t want to break Matt’s trust either.
I’m pulled out of my thoughts as my phone beeps.
Unknown: Now u have my number. Enjoy lunch, my baby mama :)
As soon as I read the text message, there’s a smile plastered on my face that won’t be leaving anytime soon. Damn you, Matt Hillard, and your hot whispers.
