“Good.” Still smiling, he leaned in closer. “I think you’re very beautiful.”
Oh god.
Oh no.
Run, Claire, run!
“I’m hungry,” I blurted out, turning my face away just in the nick of time. Jamie’s lips grazed my cheek, and I quickly stuffed a handful of popcorn into my mouth. “Mmm! Tastes so…good.”

Please don’t say it.
Please don’t say it.
Please, God, don’t let him say it.
“So, we should do this again sometime,” Jamie said when he pulled up outside my house after the cinema, and the cliché phrase made me internally gag. How predictable.
“It was a good night,” I replied, polite while not giving him answer. “I had a nice time.” Quickly unfastening my seat belt, I reached for the door handle and pushed the door open. “Thank you for inviting me,” I added, turning back to offer him a polite smile. “I’ll see you at school tom—”
My words were cut off when Jamie planted his mouth on mine.
Completely stunned by the abrupt move, I froze with my eyes wide open, and his lips clamped shut.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Ew, ew, ew!
When he dug a hand into my curls and tried to deepen the kiss by slobbering his tongue against my firmly closed lips, I arched backwards until my hands found purchase on the concrete footpath outside.
Scrambling backwards like a double-jointed ninja, I climbed out of the car and sprang to my feet. “Okay, ew!” I didn’t even bother to try to hide the shudder that rolled through me. “Just…ew!”
“I’m sorry,” Jamie replied, tone gruff and eyes full of darkened lust. “Was that too fast for you?”
“Uh, yeah.” Turning on my heels, I hurried up the driveway to my house, all the while ignoring the boy calling after me.
“Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew!” The minute I was safely inside my front door, I shook and shimmied around the front hall, feeling like spiders were crawling all over my skin. “Oh my god!”
“How was the date?” Hugh called out from the sitting room.
“Traumatizing,” I called back, moving for the stairs. “He tried to lick my mouth, Hugh!”
I heard my brother snort in response. “I hope you kicked him in the nuts.”
“I was too busy trying to evade his giant tongue.”
“Nice.”
“Believe me, Hugh, it was the opposite of nice.”
“Then delete his number.”
“Oh, don’t worry, it’s on the agenda.” Gagging, I thundered up the staircase. “Right after I take a shower in Listerine!”
