I shook my head. “No, thank you.”
Brenden leaned forward. “You can split mine if you’d like some.”
I nodded. “Thank you.”
The waiter walked away, and I watched Brenden settle back into his seat. But, his eyes wouldn’t quite meet mine. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. And I no longer enjoyed being in the dark.
“Spit it out,” I said.
His eyes found mine. “I heard about your predicament last night, and what the girls tried to talk you into with my brother.”
I sighed. “Fabulous.”
“I think I have a solution to your issue, though.”
“Oh, really now.”
He nodded. “Yep. A solution that doesn’t require Clint.”
“I have to admit, that’s a bit of a relief to me.”
He chuckled. “Clint has an acquired taste. He’s a good man. He’s got good morals. But, he’s rough around the edges. He’s got a lot of experience, and if he’s not careful, he could hurt you.”
“And that would be bad.”
“Very bad.”
I nodded slowly. “So, what do you propose? Even though I’m not sure how I feel about my virginity being the focus of everyone’s conversations lately.”
“I propose that I’m the one to solve all of your problems.”
I narrowed my eyes. “That’s never good coming from you.”
He gasped playfully. “Oh, Kelly. Your words wound me.”
But, part of me was curious. And a massive part of me hoped he was involved with that solution of his.
“So, are you going to spit it out? Or, are you going to keep me on edge through our whole meal?”
And when that mischievous grin of his spread across his face, I knew I was in for a world of trouble.
Trouble I just might willingly get myself into.

“Ihave something to admit, first,” I said.
“Oh, boy. You’re going to make this a whole big thing, aren’t you?” Kelly rolled her eyes.
“I am. But, that’s because what I’m proposing is serious. And I want you to really consider it.”
“Consider me, well, considering.”
I chuckled. “I intentionally got Clint wasted last night, so the plan couldn't go through.”
Her brow ticked. “Wait, what?”
