I’m trying my best to keep my shit together, but it’s difficult. I don’t say a word as we walk toward my car and neither does Amanda. All I can focus on is that moment between her and Blake from just a few seconds ago. When she hugged him, and gave him a kiss on the cheek, beaming up at him like he just made her day. Her night. Her entire year.

Christ. I wanted to rip his hands off when they touched her. Wanted to demolish his face with my fist when she kissed his cheek. I know it was an innocent gesture. I know she wasn’t trying to provoke me.

But it almost feels like she did all of that to drive me crazy and it fucking worked.

I open the passenger-side door for her and she climbs into the SUV, biting out a quick, “Thank you,” right before I slam the door shut. Her lips part as we stare at each other through the window, and I’m overcome with the need to kiss her.

Pushing the urge out of my mind, I jog around the front of the Range Rover and get in on the driver’s side. I start the car and glance over my shoulder, hooking my hand around the passenger-side headrest as I quickly back out of the parking spot. I could use the backup camera, but this gives me an excuse to possibly touch her.

And I do. Touch her. I wrap a silky strand of dark hair around my finger, tugging on it gently just before I let it go and remove my hand from the seat. I put the SUV into drive and tear out of the parking lot, hitting the gas so hard, my tires squeal across the pavement. Amanda gasps as she reaches for the grab handle above the door.

“Sorry,” I mutter once I turn onto the road. I barely glance in her direction, almost afraid of what I might find. Like her overwhelming disapproval. “Didn’t mean to scare you.”

“You didn’t scare me.” She lets go of the handle and primly sets her hands in her lap. I think she’s trying for dignified, but her hair’s in a messy braid with wild strands around her face, there’s mascara smudged under her eyes and her shirt is a disaster.

But she’s still beautiful. And her ass looked damn good in those jeans when I was walking behind her just a few minutes ago.

We remain quiet as I continue to drive, and when I stop at a red light, I can’t stand it anymore. “You’re mad.”

She shrugs, but otherwise remains silent.

“Why?” What did I do wrong? If anyone is in the wrong here, it’s her. She’s the one who grabbed Blake. She’s the one who kissed him. I may have called her my girlfriend to Lauren and Eli, but we haven’t made anything official. Hell, I feel like I walk on pins and needles around her almost all the time, scared I might do something wrong that’ll send her away from me forever.
