“That’s what I’m talking about. I have learned to listen to that internal whisper. That moment when something doesn’t seem right, when the hair on the back of my neck twitches.”
“But we aren’t talking about a life or death situation, Trevor. We are talking about a house and me moving in with you.”
I sighed. “I’m sorry I said anything. Forget I mentioned it.”
“Just like that? You want me to forget you asked me to move in with you just like that?”
“Again, I asked you to be my roommate, not move in with me. But hey, if you want to consider doing that, I’d love nothing more than to have you in my bed or in that shower.”
“Oh, my god,” she muttered, and I could imagine her rolling her eyes.
I let it go. I had a feeling that if I pushed it, she would get more flustered than she already was, and I didn’t want to piss her off. A few minutes later, I parked in the lot of her apartment.
“I appreciate you going with me today.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Are you still up for being my plus one on Saturday?”
She turned to me, and her brow creased. “Did you not want me to go? If you don’t, just tell me, Trevor.”
I heaved a sigh and then turned off the truck and climbed out. When I got to the other side, Davina was scrambling out of the truck, and a gust of wind pulled her wild hair from its messy bun, flailing around her like a mini medusa.
I went right up to her and took her by the face. “Yes, Davina, I do want you to go with me.”
“You do?”
My gaze dropped to her mouth and bounced back up. “Yes, I do,” I said softer. “I really do want you to come as my date.”
“I thought I was just your plus one?”
I leaned down and touched my mouth to hers, taking a moment to swipe my tongue over her lips before she immediately opened to me. The kiss was sweet and lasted only a few seconds. When I pulled back, I stared down at her. “You will always be more to me than a plus one, Davina.”
Her whiskey eyes popped wide. “Oh!”
“You’ll attend with me?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll see you on Saturday, then. I’ll pick you up around one or so; will that be alright?”
She nodded, still looking a little surprised at what I’d said.
“Goodbye, Davina.”
“Bye,” she whispered and began to walk backward, which was a bad idea because the curb was right behind her. I snagged her arm before she could trip over it.
“Curb.”
She looked down, her cheeks growing pinkish. “Whoops, yeah, sorry.”
She quickly turned away and hustled to the building, pausing at the door to glance back at me. I waved, and she waved back before disappearing inside.
I released the air I’d been holding for a few seconds and climbed back into my truck. It had been too soon to ask her to move in with me. Yeah, the suggestion to be a roommate was a good one, and I’d hoped that maybe if she did, she’d eventually become more, but obviously it had freaked her out. Looked like I was back to interviewing nannies come Monday.
