Now I can’t wait for Ward to get here.
I even start to pace at the door.
Ward has this dog fantasy… no. Wait. That sounds weird. He has this ‘thing’ about me kind of waiting and begging for him…
Ward finally shows up.
He’s on his phone.
He holds out one finger and walks right by me toward the bedroom.
“Dude, yes,” he says. “I just got to Mila’s. Yeah. No worries at all. Nah. We won’t be late. I’ll show up alone if I have to.”
Ward looks back at me and winks.
“Gotta go,” he says. “Later.”
Ward bites his bottom lip, but not in a sexy way.
At all.
“Ward,” I say.
“Come on, Mila.”
“I wanted a night in. Just us. Movies. Shows. Food. Sex.”
“Aw, Mila, come here…” Ward walks toward me. He touches my arms. “Everything you just said, especially the sex part, will happen tonight. There’s a rally going on. Hockey stuff. You know how much I hate hockey. So for me to want to go…”
“Ward, I don’t know.”
“Okay, I’m leaving for this party. It’s going to be killer. You can meet me there. You can put yourself together.”
“Ward, hold up. Just stay here. With me. Skip this one. Let’s just have a night alone together. We need it.”
“Mila, I’m not in college to sit around, okay? We can do that when we’re older.”
Ward kisses my cheek.
Then he takes off.
I turn my head and stare at the door.
My phone vibrates.
Don’t say no… to a party…
It’s from Violet.
Of course she and Ruby will be going.
It’s a hockey thing.
Ruby texts me next.
I know you read Violet’s text. Now you’re reading mine. Don’t be a nerd.
I shake my head.
