I really really like him. I get butterflies in my stomach whenever he laughs, and my heart stops beating when he touches me. Summer’s made me watch enough cheesy rom-coms for me to know I’ve got ‘it’ bad.
He leads me over to a golf cart and leans one hand on the roof.
“I had the best time tonight,” he tells me. “I think we should hit those secret beaches this weekend too, if you’re still up for it?”
I nod eagerly. I am. I’ve missed the water and my board, and spending more time with Cove actually appeals to me.
“That would be good. I’ve not been in the water for a couple of weeks.”
“There you go then. Shall I pick you up in the morning?”
“Pick me up?”
“Yeah.” He taps the top of the golf buggy’s roof. “Told you I have transport.”
I laugh.
“Okay. Tomorrow would be good.”
“Perfect. I have your number from the surf club – which you still need to come to by the way – so I’ll message you in the morning and you can send me the address.”
“Sounds good.” I sigh when there’s an awkward pause, our first all night. I don’t want to go, but I can’t think of an excuse to stay.
Cove fiddles with the keys before seeming to make a decision and tossing them onto the seat.
He suddenly steps forward and fists his hand in my hair, tilting my head back so that I’m looking up at him.
“Wha—”
His lips descend on mine before I can get a word out.
Fireworks explode all along my nerve endings where he tugs at my hair, where his fingertips grip my hip, where our lips touch, everywhere his tongue dances with mine. It’s colourful and electric. Dangerous and addictive.
His hand snakes round to squeeze my ass and I groan into his kiss, lean into his body, rise on my tiptoes, silently beg for more.
And then I catch myself.
What am I doing?
I don’t kiss guys outside clubs. I don’t kiss anyone, full stop!
I tear myself away and in a panic dive into the golf buggy. I jam the key into the ignition, turn it and put my foot to the floor. It takes off with surprising speed, and I tear away from a very confused-looking Cove, feeling guilty and confused.
