"Good, I wouldn't want you to kiss someone you didn't really like," she says with a wink.
"What I mean is, I want you to know I don't do this kind of thing lightly. I don't go around kissing women just because I think they're cute and I'm attracted to them. I mean, I feel things for you. I had a feeling about you before I even met you. As soon as I saw the way you take care of your guests, and your sweet notes everywhere, I could tell you care about everything you do and you care about people. I feel things when I'm around you. I feel comfortable and…" He takes a deep breath. "I don't know what I'm trying to say."
She shakes her head and smiles. "How are you so cute? I like you too. I thought it was obvious. I liked you as soon as you sent me that cowboy emoji."
I have to cover my eyes. "Oh god."
"No, stop it. You're an absolute squish and I love that about you. What you're trying to say is you think we have something and you don't want to mess it up by going too far. Well, you should know that I feel it too. So you should feel free to jump my bones at any time."
Relief floods through me. Not because I am going to jump her bones immediately. I just don't feel right doing that on day three of meeting her face-to-face. But because she feels it all as deeply as I do.
"I would like to jump your bones this instant, but I'd like to get to know your bones first, if that's OK," I say.
"Well, then you should know I have very strong bones. Calcium supplements and shit you wouldn't believe."
Sooner or later she's going to have to stop cracking jokes in the middle of sharing our feelings, but for now, the laughter is making me feel far less nervous. "Come here, you."
To have Ally snuggled up next to me on a blanket under the stars, sharing kisses and whispers and laughs, is about the nicest thing I could have planned for our first date. I hadn't intended for it to be a first date, but it feels like that's what this is, and I couldn't be happier about it.
When something cold and wet nudges my cheek in the middle of a kiss, our lips break apart, both of us scared out of our minds for a second before we realize it's just the farm dog.
"I know what this is. He's trying to round us up for bed," I say.
"I guess it's time to go inside," she says. "Besides, my arms are getting eaten alive by mosquitos. Good boy." Ally pets the dog and scratches him behind his ears.
"Why didn't you say you were getting bothered by mosquitoes?" I ask.
She shrugs. "I didn't want to stop kissing you."
Inside the bungalow, we snuggle up together on the bed and resume kissing, which eventually turns into touching and rubbing.
"We should probably get to sleep. We have an early drive tomorrow," I say.
She nods. "Probably. But I don't have any pajamas."
"And I sleep naked."
"Whatever are we going to do?"
I shrug. "Maybe we can compromise and strip down to our underwear and sleep?"
"Are you sure that's wise?"
I say, "I mean, you sleep in your underwear in the other bed, and I'll sleep here."
"Oh," she says, looking disappointed.
"Ally, I'm joking! I'm not letting you out of this bed."
She rolls her eyes and punches me lightly in the shoulder.
"Gotcha."
"Good," she says. "I'm glad you got me. I don't want to go anywhere else tonight."
This is a much better alternative to sleeping separately and lying awake, thinking about her. I could kiss her like this all night long. Her sweet breasts are right there under her tee shirt, finally free of her bra, and thank god she takes the initiative.
"If you want to touch them, you can."
