“I don’t thinkMelody meant dinner that quickly,” I joked.
Huck smirked.“Cute.”
“Um, I’msupposed to be going out of town.”
“But…?”
“I don’t thinkthat’s going to happen now. Teagan’s dad’s kind of pissed she used a fakeID—never mind, it’s a long story.” I shook my head. “Anyway, unless somethingchanges, I’m somewhat free. Finals are over and I told my clients I was takingthe week off. Why?”
“I’d like totake you out. On a proper date.”
“Well…” I smiled.“I’d love to go out.”
We arrived at mydoor, and he asked, “Are you a little black dress kinda girl, or do you want tothrow axes?”
I chuckled as Iunlocked my door. “I love it all.”
“I see how itis. You’re gonna make me work for it.” He leaned down to kiss my cheek. “Justso you know, I like working for things.”
I shivered andfelt heat creep up my neck. “Good to know.”
“You need to getinside, Daisy, or I’m gonna kiss you.”
“I’d be okaywith that.”
“Yeah, but wouldyour dad or your brothers?”
“Goddamncameras,” I hissed.
“I’ll text you.”
“Okay.” Ismiled. “Goodnight.”
“Night.”
I stepped intomy home, then closed and locked the door, grabbing my phone and immediatelycalling Teagan.
“Oh my god,girl, spill.”
“There’s nothingto spill,” I said, dropping my keys in the bowl on my island and heading to mybedroom. “He dropped me off and now I’m home and alone.”
“No kiss?”
“On the cheek,”I said, dejectedly.
“That’s no fun.”
“I know,” Ibreathed out. “He did say he was going to take me out this week.”
“Okay, good,because I definitely can’t go away with you.”
I wrinkled mynose. “I figured that. That’s why I told him I was probably free.”
“Sorry my dad’sbeing a total Debbie Downer.”
“It’s fine.” Isat on the bench at the end of my bed and unzipped my boots. “Let’s setsomething up when you actually turn twenty-one. Deal?”
“Absolutely.Let’s do Vegas for my birthday.”
