“You're being really quiet. I thought that everything went pretty well. Was I completely misreading the situation and it was a disaster?”
“No, it's nothing like that. I guess it went okay. My dad seemed to like you and I knew that he would.”
“So then, what has you looking like that?”
I shrugged and looked out the passenger window. “I don't know, they were just acting so weird. I think they would have married me off right then and there.”
I should have been happy. I wanted them to like him, but the way that they had gushed over him was too much to bear. It was more a problem that I had with my own parents. It didn't really have much to do with him at all. He was just the realization of it all.
“So, where do you want to go? We can go back to my place. I know it's not going far, but we would be alone.”
The way he said the last bit, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. He was trying to be cute and sexy and he really was. My mind immediately went back to what we had done before going over to the bar. It had been amazing, felt amazing, and of course, I wanted to do it again. The only problem was, I was afraid of what it was going to turn into. Just because my parents were ready to marry me off and Nick was kind of perfect, that didn't mean that I was ready to give up everything that I had waited so long for. There was still a big part of me that wasn't sure.
When I said it was probably not a good idea for me to go over to his place, he kind of chuckled.
“It probably isn’t a good thing. I don't know if I would be able to keep my wits about me. You do have me feeling like I would lose my cool.”
“Got it, no alone time.”
He said that it was for my benefit and I honestly believed him. There was definitely a fear inside of me. I don't know what would happen if he touched me and kissed me the way that he had before. I had a very good feeling that I would not be able to stop him. I'm still a bit surprised that I was able to before. It must have been superhuman strength or something.
“How about we just go for a drive? You can show me some of the places that you like, and you can drive a little fast. I think we both need some speed after that evening.”
He had a twinkle in his eyes, and it didn't take much to agree with him. If he wasn't going to get lucky, apparently taking some of the frustration and relief out on his driving, was just as well. I knew then that one day soon, I was going to have to make a decision. Would it be enough for me to finally give in to the temptation that was becoming harder and harder to ignore?
I didn't even have to question if it would be Nick. For some reason, I already knew. But when I was questioning everything and why I was waiting, I was finding it harder to answer that question.
Suddenly, I was the one that didn't want to wait any longer. Not much longer anyway.
