My nap was amazing. I passed right out and slept for almost two hours without even stirring. I think my body really needed it. My eyes are only open for fifteen minutes or so when I get a text from Burke, who is the last person I expect to hear from today. Okay, maybe Braelyn is the least expected, but either way I don’t expect to hear from him. I’m not ashamed to admit it’s more than a little disappointing when the text tone of my phone has gone silent.

I’m not a girl to be swept away by a man. I’m not a romantic. I don’t fantasize about fairy tales. Prince Charming hasn’t been in the forefront of my mind since I was a little girl, and I don’t dream about perfect dates, kisses, or romantic gestures. Not that there is anything wrong with being a girl like that, it just isn’t me.

I guess I have always assumed things like that would happen in my future, but in a more realistic way. I would meet someone I was compatible with, we would get along well, and then the rest would fall into place, complete with all the ups and downs to go with it. Lust, passion, and chemistry are things I never factored into the equation. I’m not saying one night with Burke has turned me into that dreamer girl, but there’s an excitement I’ve never felt before.

Earlier, when I saw it was him texting me, I felt my insides clench, the butterflies in my stomach as well as between my legs fluttered to life. When we’re in the same room, the reaction is all-consuming, and everything that is him occupies all my focus. My skin feels electric from a simple touch from him. His hard eyes, which were once intimidating, make me feel bold and wanted from a single glance. It’s powerful and also the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.

I tell myself I’m not the girl who is starry eyed, but I’m sitting around wondering why he stopped texting me. This isn’t me. Scolding myself for being overly dramatic, I reopen the magazine I was looking through pre-Burke text and attempt to get my mind off him. I manage to read a single sentence before my phone alerts me of a new text, and I can’t get across the room fast enough. Okay, maybe I’m that girl, just for today.

Burke: Room number?

Paisley: 209. Why?

I wait, but nothing else comes. Is Burke here? Why else would he need my room number? But why would he come? A loud banging at my door causes me to jump out of my seat. I look through the peephole in the door to confirm who it is. I laugh at my absurdity—who else would it be? Burke is standing on the other side of the door looking tired and impatient as he waits for the door to open. He’s here to see me and that part has me giddy.

“Damn it, Paisley. Open the door!”
