“Not a problem. Come on.”
We started out of the saunas, the cool air conditioning greeting us. But it had nothing on the autumn breeze hanging softly in the air. As we walked back to my dorm, hand in hand, I felt myself drying off. The wind kicked up in the darkness, swirling dead leaves around as we ventured onward. I leaned my head against his arm, trying to cherish the moment as much as I could. Eventually, we got to the front door of my dorm.
And it was time to part ways.
“I had a really good time tonight, Max.”
I looked up at him and saw him grinning.
“Me, too, Bambi.”
I snickered. “I’m still getting used to that.”
He ran his knuckles along my cheek. “Take your time. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
“Oh. Thanks.”
He chuckled. “You like it, don’t even try to play like you don’t.”
I blushed. “Maybe a little bit.”
“See? There’s my Dani.”
His Dani. “Are you feeling okay enough to drive home?”
“I feel better than I have in days, thanks to you.”
“Good. I’m glad.”
“Now, if I could just get one more…”
I smiled as his face gravitated toward mine, his breath pulsing against my lips. I closed my eyes, preparing myself for his warmth. I wanted as much of this kiss as I could get before we had to leave one another’s presence.
Just before we connected, the dorm door swung open, ruining the moment.
“Finally ready to come inside?”
Hannah’s voice grated on my ears and I sighed.
“Sorry,” I murmured.
Max kissed my forehead. “Another time.”
Hannah scoffed. “You can let her go now.”
I shot her a look before Max backed away from me. I could’ve strangled that girl, if my body had the energy to do much of anything.
I hid my smile. “I’d better go. Got classes in the morning.”
Hannah put her hand on her hip. “Among other things.”
Max nodded. “Have a good sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow?”
Hannah went to interject, but I put my hand up to silence her.
“Sounds like a plan. Just let me know when, handsome.”
He nodded at Hannah. “You sleep well, too.”
