I’m not joking, give me names and I’ll make them disappear

Kira

Let’s focus on the mission here: would you makemy first kiss good?

Hunter

Kira…

Kira

That’s not even my name

It’ll just be our secret, forever

All I want for Christmas is a good first kiss, and I think you’re the man for the job

Hunter

I’m old

Kira

I promise I don’t care as long as you’re nice

Chapter 2

Hunter

Kira—orwhatever this girl’s name is—wants to meet me right then and there. Since it’s late and I’m in the middle of a project, I ask her if she can wait until the morning.

We exchange seventy-three text messages before she falls asleep.

Kira

There’s a nice big parking lot just off campus

Hunter

Campus?

There’s a longpause before she writes back.

Kira

Ridge College

Hunter

Do you work there?

If the answer is no, I know I need to find a way out of this. I have no business kissing a college student.

Kira

Yeah in the Admissions office

I let out a huge sigh of relief and shake my head. She’s still too young for me, but I can give her a really good date before making it clear I’d prefer to date in my own age range.
