“I’m just going to read a bit of my book and then turn in for the night.You two go enjoy some quality time together.I’ll be fine.”

Cameron looks at me and I nod.

“Alright,” she agrees and part of me is surprised that she’s agreeing.

That has to be a good sign, right?

Cameron unlocks the front door and gets her grandma settled before she comes back over to me.

“So, what do you want to do?”I ask her, and she walks right up to me, leaning against the side of her car so that our sides are touching.

“What are my options?”She asks, and I think for a moment.

“Well, we can go see a movie or go out to dinner… or we could go back to my place and hang out.”

“Alright,” she says after a minute, and I blink.

“Aright?To which idea?”

“Let’s go to your place.”

“Really?”I blurt out, and she laughs.

“Yeah, I have to admit that I’ve always been curious about what your place looks like.”

“Okay, I can drive us,” I tell her, pointing to my truck, but she shakes her head.

“I’ll follow you.That way, you don’t have to make another trip into town.”

“I don’t mind,” I assure her, and she smiles.

“Neither do I, so lead the way.”

She climbs into her car before I can protest anymore, and I hurry over to my truck and climb behind the wheel.

I can’t help but smile as I pull out onto the road and start to head home.I’m about to have my dream girl in my space… I just hope I can convince her that she should never leave once she’s there.

I steermy car out of my driveway and follow Ford through town towards the northern part of Wolf Valley.We turn onto a backroad, and I take a deep breath.

I want Ford.I always have, but tonight is my chance to finally be with him.

Is that a good idea, though?I mean, what are we even doing?Are we really fake dating?Are we really just friends?

I replay all of our interactions from the last few days and can’t deny how perfect its felt to be with him.It was so natural to be with him, to touch him, have him hold my hand or kiss me.It was so right.

But does he feel the same way, or is he just putting on a good show?

I need to figure that out and look for some kind of sign.

We pull into the driveway of a cute two-story house, and I park next to Ford’s truck.He climbs out and heads my way.My mouth waters at the sight of him and my body heats.I want to be with him.I want to finally lose my v-card and I want to do it with the man I’ve always loved.The only man that I’ve ever felt that way about.

He opens my door for me and I take a deep breath as I take his hand and climb out of my car.

“Is this what you expected?”Ford asks me as we start to head towards the front door.
