It went somewhere else.
Someone else.
Ever.
It had been two days since she’d been in my garage.
Two days since I’d watched her drive away and realized I wasn’t done with that.
Two days of knowing something I hadn’t known before.
That she had liked me.For years.
I still didn’t know how I’d missed that.Didn’t know how something that obvious to everyone else had gone completely under my radar.
But now that I knew?
Yeah.
That changed things.
A lot.
I adjusted my grip on the handlebars, staring straight ahead.
She didn’t have a boyfriend.Not really.She’d said it herself, and that mattered.
I kicked the bike to life, the engine roaring under me as it settled into that familiar rhythm.
The vibration ran up through my hands and through my body.
I knew exactly where I was going.
I pulled out of the lot and hit the road, the wind picking up as I picked up speed.
There was only one thing on my mind.One thing that had been sitting there since I walked out of that garage.
A thick chocolate milkshake.
Not just any milkshake.
One made by her.
I smirked to myself as I rode.
Fifty free milkshakes.
Best deal I’d ever made and I planned on collecting.
Chapter Seventeen
Ever
Ten minutes.
That was all that stood between me and locking the door, shutting off the lights, and calling it a night.
Ten minutes that felt like an hour.
