“Yeah, well. He keeps on telling me he will tell me when I’m ready. I’m just afraid that he thinks I’m never going to be ready.”
“It might be sooner than you realize.”
“I hope.”
The bell rang and Blake got up from the bench first and walked with me to my locker.
He moved side to side, staring intently at the locker, looking up at the ceiling, before opening it. Nothing happened.
“You didn’t look so sure about that one. I thought you made it clear to Chloë.”
He chuckled. “Just making sure.”
I grabbed my books and shoved it in my bag.
He kissed me fast on my lips as our paths split.
My cheeks flushed when all the girls stared dreamily at me as I walked into the first class of the day.
13
The bell rang, and I put my biology book into my bag. I got up and followed the rest of my class out the door.
An arm grabbed me, and I crashed into Blake’s chest.
His hand grabbed mine as he pulled me fast in the exit’s direction. My heart galloped. He was going to get me into so much trouble.
We rushed out the entrance of the door and I found three cars filled with people as Blake led me to the jeep.
“Where are we going?”
“To have fun, stop worrying so much.” He opened the back door of the jeep and I climbed in first.
Blake scooted in next to me. “Elena, guys, guys, you know Elena.”
“Hey, Elena,” the blond from yesterday said.
I waved as the guy with the dark hair sat next to him at the front.
My heart pounded as he followed another car, and we drove out of the school.
I stared at Blake.
“Don’t look at me like that?” He grinned.
“My dad is going to have a field day when he discovered.”
“He won’t, trust me.”
“Mmm, I like to know what you are going to spin when it happens.”
“Live a little, Elena,” the blond guy at the front yelled.
I giggled and shook my head.
Blake wrapped his arm around me and pushed me into his chest. He pushed his lips on top of my head and the same buzz rushed through my body. It felt wonderful.
The drive wasn’t that long and was on private property.
