Rik picksup, right on time. | head out to meet him and he seems perturbed, jogging up toand taking my
bag. He kisseson the nose and I blush.
Romantic Rik is bewitching.
He opens the door for me. Ok, | can totally get into Gentleman Rik as well. I'd be lying if | said | didn't like the
attention.
As we head out, he remindsto ask my question. | don’t know why it’s important tothat he joinswhen
| visit my mom, but | want him to say yes. My desire for him to joinonly makesfeel insecure in asking
him, so | start off by telling him he can say no. | swear | hear him scoff.

As he repeats it back to me, like he can’t believe | would ask that, | hear how dumb it sounds and immediately
start backpedaling, telling him he can say no.
When he says he’ll cwith me, | feel relief, until he adds the stipulation of a date.
Here's the thing. I've been focused on my training and my studies my entire life. Two hours of training in the
morning, school, two hours of training at night, dinner, homework, sleep, repeat. Even my weekends are focused
on training and studies. You see where I'm going? There has never been room for dating in my life. Ever. The
most I've ever done over the last year, is go dancing on Friday nights and more recently Liam would drive me
home. Sometimes we'd stop for food, like the last time. But, that’s not a date. I'm nearly 18 years old and | have
no idea how to act or what to do on a date.
I'm not used to feeling insecure, but | do now. What if Rik thinks I'm too immature to date? What if I do it all
wrong and he realizes he’s wasting his ton me. He says it’s not as his girlfriend and he just wants to go to
dinner. | can do dinner, right? | mean, we had dinner last night with our parents and it was fine. How hard can it
be having dinner at a restaurant, just the two of us?
As I've been contemplating all of this, we've arrived at school and | realize | haven't given him an answer. ‘Just
go. It can’t be that hard.” Artemis pipes in and makes up my mind. When | say yes, | get Rik’'s mega-watt smile.
I'm not sure there is anything in the world more amazing to see then when he turns that smile
on you, and right now, it’s aimed at me. | feel my heart flutter in my chest.
When he thanksbecause | agreed to our date, that piece of my heart that already belonged to Rik, got a bit
larger. His quick kiss on my lips makesfeel special, so when he takes my hand as we head into school, | don’t
say anything.
When we get to my class, he kissesagain. | know | told him we could do this if 1 agreed to be his girlfriend,
but I really like this side of Rik. He doesn’t care who sees us. He doesn’t care who may be watching. All he seems
to care about is me. It's intoxicating.
The rest of the day is exactly the same. He walksto all my classes, sneaking in kisses before he leaves to go
to his class.
At lunch, Chase is still giving it his best shot with Lacey. Her icy exterior doesn’t seem to have thawed overnight
and | swear it’s only making Chase try harder. Good luck with that.
When we leave the lunchroom and get to my next class, | decide to turn the tables and before he can sneak in a
kiss, | reach up grab the collar of his shirt and pull him to me. | don’t just peck his lips, | go all in and it only takes

When he pulls back, his eyes look as glazed as mine feel. | give him a smug look, pecking his lips again before

room. Before the door closes, | hear a growl of pleasure rumble in his chest.
At the end of the day, we walk to our lockers, get our work for the weekend and then walk hand in hand to his
car. He pullsto the trunk to put our bags in and then walksto the passenger door. He pushesagainst
the car and takes my mouth in a kiss so possessive that | can do nothing but try to keep up. When he pulls away,
he leans his forehead against mine. “That's for gettingso turned on in the middle of the school day little

He smiles and pulls back, opening my door. | feel unsteady on my feet. The man seems to steal my sense of
reality every the kisses me.
