“I kind of like it too.” My voice is soft.

He walks me back to my truck. And with my fingers hovering above the door handle, I take a deep breath. “Rone?”

He turns, holding his motorcycle helmet in his hand. I can’t see his eyes because of the glow from the streetlight.

“One of my friends from New York is coming over with his boyfriend to have dinner with me and the guys tonight.”

“Okay.” Leaning against my truck, he looks like the boy I fell in love with.

“Want to come over and have dinner with us?” I ask, biting on my lip and focusing on his bike instead of him.

“Sure, babe.”

My heart skips a beat when he calls me babe. “Great.”

He nods. “I’ll see you in a bit then.”

“Navarone?” I ask. I can’t place the look in his eyes.

“Yeah?” he says, straddling his bike.

“I had fun today.” My voice is a little hoarse.

“Me too, Allie.” He gives me a wave before he revs the engine and takes off.

Driving back to my place, I catch myself smiling the whole way, thinking about Navarone and how I long to see him again tonight.
