I’ve never had a chick push me away as many times as Bianca.Usually, I’m the one backtracking, trying to get them to move on and realize there’s no future.I don’t know what’s ahead for Bianca and me, but I want to ride this as long as I can and figure shit out.
She parts her lips, and it takes everything in me not to kiss her.“You want to date me?”She blinks a few times, probably just as shocked by that admission as I am.
“I want to see where whatever this is takes us.”
“Let’s see if we survive tonight, and we’ll talk.”
She didn’t say no, but she’s making me more nervous about tonight than I already was.
“Are they going to hate me?”I ask, trying to swallow down the nerves that have been climbing up my throat.
“My brothers will both like and hate you.I’m their little sister, and they’re protective.The rest of my family might not be overly thrilled that I’m not dating a Latino guy.”
“I can’t change who I am.I’m sure they’ll love me anyway.I mean, look at me, what’s not to like?”
She laughs and slaps my chest playfully.“You’re okay for a white boy.At least my mother will stop trying to fix me up with every available man she knows.”
Her mother sounds like mine, always sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong.I have one mission tonight.Win over Bianca’s family.It’s the only way there’s any hope of moving beyond our dry-humping on her couch.
“I’ll make them happy I’m yours.”I usher her into the elevator as soon as the doors open.
She inhales slowly and plasters her back against the wall.“My family isn’t going to be as easy to convince as your team, Vinnie.”She closes her eyes, resting her head against the wood wall.“I haven’t had a real boyfriend in a while, and if we’re not careful, they’ll see right through the lie.”
“We’re lying?”
“We are.”She nods.
“You’re attracted to me?”I ask, touching her hips as I face her.
“I am.”
“I’m so attracted to you, Bianca.It’s taking all my willpower not to kiss you right now and fuck you right here.”
She sucks in a quick breath.
“I know what you look like when you come.I know the tiny noises you make as you rock against my cock.I’m pretty sure I know enough to make it believable.”
“I wouldn’t announce that to my family.”
“I’m not an idiot, and anything I do tonight will be real and genuine.I’m done playing, baby.”
“Vinnie, I can’t make a commitment.Not now.”
“You will,” I tell her.“After tonight, you’re going to be begging to be my girl.”
That’s the one thing I’m sure of.I’ll do everything in my power to win over this girl and make her mine.The realization hits me square in the chest, stealing my breath like I was just sucker-punched.
I’ve never felt this way before, and it scares the shit out of me.
