After a few minutes, she begins to move away but I hold her in place.

“Let me kiss you.”

Hope

His lips are on mine before I can think, and maybe that’s a good thing. I don’t want to think when it comes to Heath Travon. My hands move to the back of his head, and I play with his hair.

He cups the side of my neck and angles my face to one side, making it easier for him to kiss me deeper.

Butterflies fly with wildfire in my stomach this time. Even though the air is chilly, I’m sweltering hot, and buzzing with the energy of a vibrating atom.

We pull away, and he gives me a moment to breathe, but then he kisses me again. I smile against his lips, and he squeezes my waist.

The sound of a camera capturing a picture breaks us apart.

We both turn our heads and find Marie holding her phone while Sebastian is smiling hard.

My skin burns with a flush.

I scramble away from Heath who’s glaring at his best friends.

“Delete that photo right now.” Heath stalks over to Marie and tries taking her phone but she slips it in her cleavage.

“Do it yourself.”

Heath stares at her deadpan. His hands curl into fists.

“Ican’tget the phone,” he grits out.

Marie smirks. “I know.”

“You’re the most annoying person on the planet, Blondie.”

“I love you too.”

I stifle my laughter.

Marie looks at me. “Want to get cotton candy?”

At the stall Marie and Sebastian split and pay for everyone except for Heath who doesn’t like sweet things. I’m not sure that’s the case since he ate chocolate off my mouth just fine.

My body heats up.Right. That scene still makes me hot and bothered.

We pass the arcade, but it’s filled with teenagers. We have no chance of stepping inside let alone for Marie and Sebastian to test out every machine and make new high scores.

As we stroll further, I look at Heath who discreetly eyes my blue raspberry cotton candy.

“Here, take a bite.” I hold out the stick in front of him.

“I don’t eat sweet things.”

I roll my eyes. “That’s not true. You ate the chocolate cake.”

“Because it was on you.”

I blush hard as I pluck a tiny piece of cotton candy and press it against his lips. “Try it.”
