A strange expression crossed his face, and my heart sank. “Kaiden, I’m sorry—”
“No, Lily. Don’t do that. My dad and Peyton’s mom, it’s not the same.” But as he said the words, I saw the doubt in his eyes. “I have everything I need right here.”
I leaned up on my tiptoes and brushed my lips over his. “I’ll love you enough for both of us, until he’s better.”
“I want to take you somewhere tonight.”
“You do?” My heart did a little somersault.
“Yeah. Will you come out with me, Lily?”
I looked at him. The boy I loved more than I ever thought possible and smiled. “Always.”

“Kaiden’s here,”I yelled, shucking on my jacket and making my way to the front door.
“Hang on a second, Lil.” Dad appeared at the end of the hall. “Where are you going?”
“Out.” I shrugged.
“Yeah, I gathered that. But where?”
“Mom,” I shouted. “He’s doing it again.” I fought a smirk.
“Lily, that’s not… I’m not—”
“Jase,” Mom came out of the kitchen. “I thought we agreed not to give Lily the third degree every time Kaiden takes her out?” She levelled him with a hard look.
“No, babe. You agreed. I grumbled something about it being a father’s prerogative to know exactly where her daughter is going with her sexually active horndog of a boyfriend.”
“Dad! Did you just call Kaiden a… horndog?” Laughter bubbled in my chest.
“Not the point here, Lily.”
“I’m sure Mom will listen to all your points, Dad. But I gotta go.” I ran over and kissed him on the cheek. “I love you. Bye.”
“Lily May Ford, you’ll be the death of me.”
“Jase,” I heard Mom say as I slipped out of the house.
Kaiden got out of his car and went around to open my door. He was a gentleman like that. “Why is your dad glaring at me out of the window like he wants to string me up by my balls?” He frowned.
“He’s feeling a little insecure.”
“Let me guess, someone brought up the video again?” He grimaced.
“I think Lindsey being back at school reminded him… He’ll get over it.”
“I hate to say it, Lily, but he probably won’t.”
I stole a kiss and slipped into the car, waiting for Kaiden. When he climbed inside, his hand automatically went to my knee, sending sparks through me. “Hi.”
“Hi.” I smiled. “Going to tell me where we’re going yet?”
“Nope, it’s a surprise.”
“Did you talk to your mom about Thanksgiving?”
