The warning bell rings, and he pulls back from me, only to place a kiss on my forehead.
“I finally get my girl,” he whispers, and my entire body melts in his arms. “Get to class and meet me here before lunch.”
I nod as I bite my bottom lip, wanting to taste him one last time.
He gives me a quick kiss and rushes off to his class, which must be across campus by the way he hustles off.
CHAPTERTHIRTY-ONE
Junior Year
“Can I take you somewhere after school?” Beau asks as I lean against him at my locker.
It’s been a week since we made our relationship official, and I’ve loved every second of being wrapped in his arms.
I grin up at him. “Where do you want to take me?”
He leans down and kisses me softly. “It’s a surprise.”
“I’m in. You might have to deal with my dad though.”
He lets out a sharp laugh. “I’m used to the old man beating me up on the field, so I know what I’m up against.” He leans down to whisper in my ear, “And you’re totally worth it.”
He kisses my cheek, then stands us upright as the bell rings for us to get to our last class.
“Meet me here, and we’ll go ask your dad after class.”
“Okay,” I say as I walk in the opposite direction.
Heather joins me on my way since her class is right next to mine. “So … I see this new relationship is going well.” Her face lights up with excitement, and I’m so glad to see she’s happy for me after all we’ve been through.
“It really is.” I smile so big that my cheeks hurt.
“I’m happy for you two. It’s about time too. You guys waited long enough.”
I grin, and she winks as she pulls open the door and walks through.
After the bell signals the end of the day, I head to my locker, where Beau is already waiting for me. The sexy way he’s casually leaning against the locker with his knee up and his shirt just a little too small around his bicep makes my heart skip a beat.
Then, when he looks my way and smiles, making his eyes crinkle at the sides, my entire insides melt like lava.
“Hey, gorgeous,” he says before giving me a quick kiss.
“You ready to go talk to my dad?”
“I’ve waited years for this moment. Let’s go.”
I laugh as we walk hand in hand to the gym, where my dad is probably still putting things away from class.
As we walk around the corner, I yell out, “Dad, you in here?”
Beau places his hand on my arm. “Please, let me ask.”
“Hey, go right ahead,” I giggle, glad I don’t have to now.
“Yeah, I’m in here,” Dad yells back.
We enter his office, and Beau wastes no time. “Coach Z, I was hoping you would allow me to take your daughter on a date tonight.”
