Chapter 12

I had a much easier time picking out clothes for our second date. Perhaps the first date jitters had been laid to rest. Or maybe it was because after our phone call last night, I felt I knew Alex a little bit better. He was so easy to talk to, so laidback. I was excited for our date tonight.

I slid into a pair of cream colored capris and a silk, aqua tunic-style tank top. I loved the color because it set off my eyes, changing them from a dull gray to a subtle blue. I decided to wear my hair down, polish my nails, and go light on my make-up.

Claire was at Sean’s again so when Alex arrived, I hurried to the door. I swung it open, a smile tugging my lips up instantly at the sight of him.

“Hey, you,” he said.

“Hey,” I said back. “You look really nice.” He had on a pair of dark washed jeans and a white polo. It set off his tan.

And my damn butterflies.

“You too,” he said as he stepped inside. He pulled me into his arms for a lingering hug that I wasn’t expecting. His lips skimmed across my cheek in an almost-kiss.

“You have no idea how much I’ve been looking forward to tonight,” he said into my ear.

“You’re not the only one,” I assured him.

He nuzzled my neck, his warm breath causing my knees to go weak and my toes to curl inside of my sandals. His hand slid to the small of my back, pressing me gently against him. I thought he was going to kiss me for real this time. I was waiting for him to kiss me, but after a quick squeeze his arms slipped away.

I immediately felt the loss.

“Are Claire and Alex around?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No. Alex had been filling in on a softball league but someone quit so now he’s playing full time. He has games or practice just about every night now. Claire goes with to watch.”

“All right,” he said easily. “I was just going to say hello if they were here. But since they’re not…” He reached for my hand. “Should we get going?”

I nodded as I let him guide me to his truck.

“Tonight is actually a game night,” I said. “Alex said we’re welcome to stop by and watch later on. If you don’t have anything else planned.”

“That sounds good,” he said as he reached out to open my door. He glanced up at the sky. It had been cloudless earlier in the day but now, it was turning gray and I realized the temp had dropped just a bit. “I hadn’t thought much past dinner but I’m open to spending the whole evening with you. There’s not much going on around town on a weeknight. But watching a ball game sounds perfect, if the weather cooperates.”

I hopped in and he closed my door. I took a moment to admire his profile as he rounded the front of his truck.

“What’s the name of the restaurant that we’re going to?” I asked when he got in.
