“It’s—it’s nothing.” I sigh. “Just forget about it.”
“It’s not nothing. If Dylan is giving you shit, I need to know about it.”
“Why? What are you going to do?” I question, throwing my hands up in defeat.
“I’m going to teach him what happens when he messes with something that’s mine.” The possessiveness in his voice has my body reacting in ways I never expected.
“Yours?” I manage to push the word out. “You hardly know me.”
“I know enough to know I don’t want anyone else to have you.”
“What are you saying, Sebastian?” The clear shake in my voice gives away how much his words affect me.
“I’m in, Tess.” He takes my face in his hands. “Look at me, I’m in. What more do I have to do to show you that I like you—I mean, I really fucking like you, Tess. You’re not like any other girl in this school. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since you walked out onto that balcony. You want to shut them all up, be my girlfriend.”
“Sebastian,” I start, but he cuts me off.
“I’m not asking for them, I’m asking for me. Showing them all they’re wrong is just an added bonus.” A small smile spreads across his mouth. “What do you say, Tess? Will you be my girlfriend?”
Everything about the moment is so sickeningly sweet that it almost doesn’t feel real. The way his gaze is locked on mine, his hands holding my face, his words dancing around me. I wish I could say I stand even a chance against him, but it should be pretty obvious by this point that I don’t.
“I thought you didn’t do relationships?” I see the humor flash across his face the moment the words leave my mouth.
“Correction—I didn’t do relationships. It would appear as though that is no longer the case.”
“You’re serious?” I ask, surprised to find my own smile making an appearance.
“I’ve never been more serious,” he says, leaning in closer. “So, Tessa Wilson, is that a yes?” he whispers against my lips, waiting until I nod before closing the remaining distance between us.
He kisses me softly, and yet there’s a sense of urgency as his lips work against mine. By the time we part several moments later we’re both a little breathless, and my mind is once again complete mush.
“Come on.” Sebastian turns, dropping an arm over my shoulder. “I gotta drive mygirlfriendhome.” He smirks, leading me back toward the school parking lot.
“I think that sounds good,” I say, snuggling into his side.
“Which part?” he asks, looking down at me with a wide smile.
“The girlfriend part.”
I hate how incredibly giddy I probably seem, but I can’t help it. Sebastian just pulls so many emotions from me all at once that I have a hard time keeping them all under wraps.
“Well good, because I intend to keep calling you that.” He winks, pulling open the Jeep door for me the moment we reach it.
Instead of closing the door like I expect him to, he leans in through the doorframe and kisses me again, snapping my seatbelt in the process.
“Now that I’m your girlfriend, you feel the need to buckle me in?” I giggle against his mouth.
“Gotta make sure my girl is safe,” he teases, kissing me again.
“You do this for all your girlfriends?” I ask, brushing my lips against his.
“Well, considering you’re the first.” He pulls back and winks before giving me the cutest smile.
I don’t say anything. I can’t. Instead, I watch him step back, shut the door, and cross in front of the Jeep before climbing into the driver’s seat. As soon as he’s buckled he reaches for my hand, lifting it to his mouth where he places a gentle kiss on the back before resting them in his lap, forcing me to lean slightly into him—which I think is the point.
I can’t help the small laugh that escapes my lips as he starts the Jeep and slowly pulls out of his parking spot.
“Something funny?” he questions, his voice playful.
