Spinning in my seat, I stand, throw my hand up into the air and, wave to Lisa. “I’m heading out. See you later!”
“Did you drive?” Lisa shouts.
I shake my head.
“Okay. Bye, Savannah!”
I sigh dramatically when I hear him repeat my name. I hate that I like the sound of it on his lips.
“Night,Savannah,” he whispers. “See you later.”
I grin. “Doubt it.”
“Hey, Savannah?”
I glance back and see a half-smile. “In case you were wondering, I’m Jack.”
“I wasn’t.”
His eyes crinkle in amusement. “Wanna bet?”
ChapterThree
Something is seriously wrong with me. It’s nearly two in the morning and I’m still tossing and turning, thinking about the messages Tre and I traded when I got home from the bar. His question about what I wanted lingered in my mind despite my attempts not to think about him. I didn’t want to think about how easily our conversations flow and, as much as I hate to admit it, I like the witty back-and-forth banter with a little surface flirting tossed in. My cheeks always flush red, and I embarrass way too quickly to flirt face to face, but I’m saying things to this man that are so out of character. I think it’s because there’s a sense of protection from the anonymity; it makes me bold. But sometimes, I feel like he’s someone I could be friends or more with…if he weren’t after mydaughter.
I reach out for my phone and open the app.
DanDad007: Have you figured it out yet?
DanDad007: Why is it hard for a woman to say what she wants?
I’d thought about his question for some time before I replied.
Stella214: Truth is, I don’t know what I want. Maybe I want something I can’t have.
DanDad007: What would that be?
Not what.Who!
Stella214: A man who wants only one woman.
DanDad007: That shouldn’t be hard to find.
Stella214: You’d be surprised! Most men are jerks!
DanDad007: I’m not most men.
Stella214: The jury is still out on that one. Ever watch True Crime documentaries? It’s interesting to get into a criminal’s head and figure out what their motive was.
DanDad007: So now I’m a criminal?
Stella214: I don’t know. Are you?
DanDad007: You’re funny. Send me a pic.
Stella214: Of what?
DanDad007: Do I really have to tell you?
