“Where are we going?” I’m desperate to find out our destination, as Tank’s foot presses on the gas pedal and we shoot forward. My neck does one of those bobble head things as he crosses the white dashed line in the center of the road. Veering over it slightly, he looks over at me with a smirk on his angular face.

“If I told ya where we were going, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise, now would it? Relax, we’re almost there.” His expression says it all. Brat.

“Keep your eyes on the road, bubba,” I tease. “Less talking, more concentration.”

The car zigs and zags around the winding curves and thrashes me against my seat. Grabbing the oh shit handle, I pray that the cereal I ate this morning doesn’t come up. “Are you sure we should be going this fast?” I swallow.

“Do you want to drive?”

Wow, a man that is actually willing to let a person of the opposite sex drive his precious car. “Not particularly. But I’d like to make it to our unknown destination in one piece.” I offer him an affable smile, to which he responds by saluting me with his middle finger.

Hair blows in wisps around my face as wind gushes through my open window. As much as it scares me, the speed also excites me. There’s something thrilling about speeding down an open road.

It’s reckless.

I stretch my right arm and hang it out the window. With my hand flat, I ride the wind waves. A soft harmony plays over the radio and fills our ears with music. This moment is bliss. It’s a feeling that I’ve chased my entire life.

I have a great friend beside me, and I’m having more fun just being carefree than I’ve ever had doing anything else. And, I have a seriously hard crush on someone who I know nothing about. That’s alluring in and of itself. The unknown…the feeling that I may be reaching for someone too far out of my league.

“What’s running through that pretty little head of yours? I can almost feel you thinking.”

“Caught me,” I confess.

“We have a few minutes before we get there. Can you sum it up, or is this a wait-until-later conversation?”

“Later,” I reply, knowing that any conversation about Ryle is going to be a long one.

Just over fifteen minutes pass, and our destination comes into sight. My eyes are glued to the view out the window, and what I see leaves me dumbfounded. “Holy cow. How did you? Alligators?”

“Zoe,” is all Tank has to say, and a grin spreads across my face like a child whose parents just surprised her with a trip to Disney World.

I. Can’t. Even.

“Surprise. Now come on. We have a tour to go on.”

The strength behind the squeeze Tank gives my hand is as manly as it can be. I’m still torn about whether to buy into his whole ‘I like girls and guys thing’ but right now, all I’m focused on is the giddy jitters that are stirring in my gut.
