Share Us
“Yes.”
She blushes. “To be fair, I could’ve easily worn anotherSailor Moonshirt to stand out this time.”
“That would’ve worked, too.” I close the gap between us. “Do you really have a long-distance boyfriend who lives in Philadelphia?”
“No.”
“Are you dating anyone else at this time?”
She shakes her head. “I’m not.”
“Then I need you to keep it that way until further notice.” I slide a finger under the skate charm that’s hanging around her neck, gently rolling it between my fingers. “I’m not the sharing type when it comes to things like this.”
“What makes you think I’ll ever agree to date you, Travis?”
“Because you want to.”
“That’s not the problem, and you know it,” she says, her voice faint. “If you were someone else, or the situation was different—”
“Yes or no,” I interrupt. “I’ll accept your answer either way.”
She’s silent for several seconds, and it feels as if we’re the only two people standing outside.
“Yes,” she says finally.
“Good.” I glance at the clock. “What time is your curfew?”
“I don’t have one of those.”
I give her a blank stare.
“I have like two hours before I have to head home.”
“I thought so.” I laugh. “There’s a spicy taco truck down the street. You should let me treat you to a few.”
“I’m not having sex with you tonight, Travis Carter.” Her words come out of fucking nowhere.
“I’m sorry,what?”
“I’m just letting you know,” she says. “And while we’re on the subject—”
“The subject istacos…”
“Most guys drop me after the first few dates because I make it more than clear that I’m not willing to sleep with just anyone.”
“The taco truck also serves nachos and quesadillas.”
“I’m aware that I should’ve lost my V-card in high school and that I should at least ‘consider’ fucking after a few decent dates with a guy, but that’s not the case, okay?” She rambles. “My first time has to be with someone I love, and if you’re only looking to have sex there’s no point in us talking past tonight.”
I blink, slowly processing the fact that she’s still a virgin. That, and she’s probably worse at making small talk than I am.
If this were anytime last year, I would’ve told her, “Thanks for the heads up. I don’t deal with virgins.Ever. Drive home safely,” before deleting her number.
“Should I take your silence to mean that you’re only interested in sex, Travis?”
“Not at all.” I give in and kiss her lips, silencing her rambles. The sweet taste of her mouth is enough to make me never want to try any other flavor again.
Wrapping my hands around her waist, I slide my tongue against hers, feeling her slowly let down her guard.
