Chapter Nine

After a few minutes I worked up my courage enough to slide a little closer so that our arms weren’t stretched out in such an uncomfortable position. When I dared to look up at him, he was watching me with a teasing smile that left me overly warm and flustered. I was so out of my depth with him—I hadn’t had a boyfriend since middle school! It was like going from the Pee Wee league to the NFL in one step. But I wasn’t about to back away, and slowly I began to relax into the pleasant warmth of touching and being so tantalizingly near to him.

It had gotten really late, and at some point during the movie I must have dozed off. A noise from the television jerked me awake again. When I opened my eyes I was leaning against Walker’s shoulder without any idea how I had gotten there. Sitting up, I saw a dark stain on his sleeve. I had been drooling on him while I slept. Gross! I wanted to curl up and die.

“I am so sorry,” I groaned.

He smiled with a careless shrug. “Don’t worry about it.”

“I should probably get home before I zonk out and do anything even worse.”

“Why do you sleep with your lights on?”

My brain stuttered and ground its gears trying to shift to this new topic. “What?”

“The lights in your room stay on all night. I’ve seen it every night since you moved in. How come?”

I blushed, even more mortified than I’d been over drooling on him, but I felt compelled to tell him the truth even if it was embarrassing. “The house is creepy, okay? It looks like the set of a horror movie inside, and it’s full of weird noises and creaking all night. I just don’t feel comfortable there, yet.”

His fingers under my chin compelled me look up at him, but instead of the laughter I’d expected to see there was only understanding.

“New places can be hard to get used to. It was like that when I moved in here.”

“Yeah, but you were only ten,” I grumbled.

Walker snorted a laugh. “True. But nobody is going to think less of you if you get a little freaked out about moving into some weird old house.”

“You don’t know my family.”

“Well, I don’t feel that way. And they shouldn’t either.”

“Thanks. I’d better go.”

I moved to step past him, but his hand fell on my hip and stopped me. I was falling into the depths of those blue eyes again and my heart started racing like a scared bunny rabbit’s. Slowly he drew me against him, and our bodies met like two puzzle pieces coming together. As his free hand came up to cup my cheek, Walker looked down at me in muted wonder, almost as though he’d never seen a girl before.

His lips brushed mine, gentle as the touch of a feather, then with a soft sigh he slid his fingers into my hair and kissed me for real. His lips were warm and soft, and it felt like fireworks were exploding all through me.
