I wrap both hands around his neck, feeling the heat between us intensify. This time, I want to kiss him for far longer than the first go around. His lips meet mine again, and I lose myself in the sensation, feeling weak in the knees. My heart rate soars as he squeezes my waist, pulling me into his hard body. I taste the sweet syrup on his tongue and consciously hold back from mauling him, not letting my touch escalate this scene past a great make out on Main Street.

“7:00 p.m.,” I softly say, pulling away.

He leans right back in, placing a baby kiss on my lips, then smiles.

“Now I know why you won’t tell me who my secret admirer is.”

“Why’s that?” He tilts his head, his smile still glued on his face.

“You don’t want the competition.”

“Something like that,” he says with a smolder in his eyes that makes me want to rip his jacket and shirt right off.But we can wait.Watching him walk away, my heart is racing with excitement, and I text the BFF group chat.

Sarah Anderson

I just kissed Aaron Olson …

Rachel Wagner

What?!

Emily Brown

Details! Now!

Sarah Anderson

He came to the studio, asked me to lunch … and we made out in front of my studio.

Emily Brown

And?

Sarah Anderson

And it was good enough for me to agree to a second date. It’s tomorrow at La Nonna.

Rachel Wagner

OOO! He likes you!

Emily Brown

Tres fancy!

Ijust kissed Sarah Anderson.Walking fast with my hands in my pockets, I’m unsure what to do with all of this nervous, excited energy. Replaying our kisses, I love how her big, blue eyes looked up at me, the way she wrapped her arms around my neck, demanding more.

Back at my house, I decide to text her.

Aaron Olson

Still thinking about our kiss.

Sarah Anderson

Me too.
