Page 42 of How to Love a Rockstar

“Okay,” he gives in.

“Five black coffees and five chocolate cupcakes coming up.”

“Thanks, Ginny.” Dylan smiles and out comes the dimple. I swear he knows his dimple makes me weak in the knees and is wielding it to break my defenses. I’m afraid it’s working.

It takes me less than five minutes to arrive atBake Me Happysince the bakery is kitty-corner across the square from the library.

“Here you go.” Bryan, the bakery worker, offers me a tray with mugs of coffee and the cupcakes.

“How did you know?”

“Your man phoned in your order. He is one delicious specimen.” He sighs. “One of these days a rockstar is going to come to Winter Falls and play for my team.”

He nudges the tray toward me but I hold up a hand to stop him. “He’s not my man and I need to pay.”

“No need to pay. Your man already did.”

I scowl. “He tricked me. We agreed I’d pay.”

“I’d let him pay for whatever he wants to pay for if I were you.”

“Easier said than done,” I mumble as I accept the tray from him.

“Enjoy the ride, honey bear. Enjoy the ride,” he says as he opens the door for me.

I blow him a kiss before crossing the street to the library. When I enter, I don’t see the guys and go in search of them.

“Ginny? You call Virginia Ginny now?” Cash asks and I stop to eavesdrop.

“She prefers it,” Dylan says. I do. It gives me tingles every time he says Ginny instead of Virginia.

“She prefers it,” Gibson mimics. “What else does she prefer?”

“Knock it off. Ginny is a lady and you will treat her as such,” Dylan grumbles and my insides quiver.

I want to hear his low growly voice while he’s kissing me and touching me. Exploring every inch of me. I start to fan my face before I remember I’m holding a drinks tray. I blow out a breath and order my hormones to calm down.

“The question is do you treat her like a lady?” Jett asks.

“I don’t kiss and tell.”

“But you have kissed? How was it? I bet underneath her uptight librarian exterior she’s hiding a tiger,” Gibson says.

“I told you. I don’t kiss and tell.”

“Dylan and Virginia sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G,” Jett sings.

“Tease me all you want. I don’t care. She’s worth it.”

At Dylan’s declaration, hope flares inside me. Maybe I can date a rockstar? Maybe I am worthy? Maybe I can give a date with him a try?

Chapter 15

Anticipation – may make achieving the end goal sweeter but is also frustrating as hell

Dylan

Iwhistle as I climb the steps to the library. Today is a good day. The band worked on a new song, and I get to see Virginia twice.
