“Why do you look so—”
“I made you something,” she said before she chickened out like she had yesterday.
The suspicion in his eyes eased up a bit, but he still stared at her confused, so she went on quickly. Holding out the bracelet now for him to see, she explained. “My sister and me. We make these. Well.” She cleared her throat. “I haven’t in a while, but she still does. Anyway, our viewers really liked them, and I think they’re sexy on men.”
His brows leapt up and she laughed, mostly out of apprehension. He reached out and took the bracelet examining it closely then read the engravement out loud. “Be still my heart.” He glanced up at her, his earlier hardened expression now replaced with a smile. “Is that a date?” Vannah nodded, praying he wouldn’t think her nuts. “Of when we met? Frat Row Friday?”
Feeling her heart speed up, she shook her head. “No. Of that day I first laid eyes on you. The day I witnessed that smile for the first time ever and that phrase was the first thing that came to mind.”
When his eyes furrowed in question, she decided to just say it. Xochitl had agreed that even though technically she hadn’t formally met him until weeks later, that moment had been significant.
“The day of the signing at the gym.” His eyes went wide, and she braced herself before adding in a near whisper. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.”
Taking a step forward he cupped her face smiling sweetly. “Savannah, IknowI’ll never forget that day either.”
He kissed her softly before pulling away to gaze at her, even as the emotion begun to outweigh the enormous relief that he hadn’t thought this too much, too soon. Waiting just long enough for her to help get the bracelet on and declare it looked perfect on him, he scooped her into his arms. Within minutes they were back in his bed, ready for round two of an entire day of love making.
