Our future. Yes, I suppose I do see a future for us. One that will undoubtedly be filled with teasing and competing but equally full of love and laughter.
It’ll be surprising and interesting. And there’s only one way to find out exactly what will happen.
I link my fingers with his. “Would you want to grab some pancakes? With me?”
“Actually…” He leans closer, moistening his lips. “I was thinking I might like to taste something a little sweeter.”
I’m smiling when he pulls me into a kiss. I’m vaguely aware of gasps and one clear cat call, undoubtedly from Kat. But I barely notice it. I’m too busy enjoying the delicious taste of my greatest victory yet.
Somehow, I’ve captured the heart of the big man on campus. And he’s well on the way to stealing mine.
We break apart at last, both of us gasping for breath. Zack presses his lips to my forehead before resting his head against mine. He pulls me closer.
“I know we still have this pancake feed that you’ve organized, but would you mind if we got out of here?”
I wrap my arms around him and lean against him. “Did you have anywhere special in mind?”
“Actually… Did you drive here?”
“Yeah.” I lean back to eye him curiously. “Why?”
“Because I’ve always kind of had this fantasy.” He gives a sheepish look. “I used to see you angry singing in your car in the school parking lot.”
“Oh God.” I gape at him. “You saw that?”
“Yep.”
“More than once?”
“Definitely.”
I cringe. “How embarrassing.”
“Actually, I found it endearing.” He gives me a squeeze. “Anyway, seeing you be so passionate and fiery in your car, well, I always wondered what it would be like to be in there with you. Having some of that passion unleashed on me.”
My embarrassment slips away. “Why, Mr. Strovers… Are you saying you want to make out in my car?”
“At least to start.” He arches an eyebrow. “And maybe we can see where it goes after that.”
Another jolt of desire pings inside of me. The idea of fooling around in my car with Zack like we’re two teenagers is… well…
“Let me grab my keys.”
TWELVE
ZACK
I slide into the passenger seat of Samantha’s car and reach for her. After the way things went last night, I wondered if I’d ever get the chance to hold or kiss her again.
I don’t want to waste a second of the fresh chance she’s given me.
Before I can press my lips to hers, she places both hands on my chest to hold me back.
“What’s wrong? Did you change your mind?” My brows knit together and ice floods my veins, carrying panic with me. “We don’t have to do anything. We can—”
“I can’t believeI’mthe one saying this toyou, but calm down.” She grins, and relief washes through me. “I was just going to suggest that maybe we move the car to another location.”
“Oh.” I blink. “Okay.”
