Chapter Sixteen

Jett

I pulled up in front of the Edingtons’ home and parked my bike. I walked to her door, which again made it feel more like a date, which was not something I’d ever really done before. I wasn’t normally one for picking a girl up, but Adelaide was different. Everything about her was different.

Including kissing her.

I’d never kissed a girl and felt liked she’d marked me.

Adelaide Edington had marked me.

In the best fucking way.

I’d had sex with girls and walked away without a second thought. But just kissing this girl had made me want things I had no business wanting. Hell, I’d barely slept as the thought of her sweet mouth made it tough to sleep. My dick was still having a temper tantrum even after I’d given him sufficient attention. So, I wasn’t going to overthink it. I liked hanging out with her, and I was not going to fight it.

Was I playing with fire even letting things get this far?

Sure.

But for the first time in my life, I wanted something that didn’t involve getting the hell out of this shit town, and I was going to let myself enjoy it. There were very few things in Willow Springs that I enjoyed outside of the few people I was close to and football—but Adelaide Edington was a blind spot that I hadn’t seen coming.

I knocked on the door and let out a long breath, hoping that her mom wouldn’t open the door.

“Hello, hot stuff,” Clementine said, pursing her lips and batting her eyelashes.

I couldn’t help but laugh, just as her father stepped up behind her and rolled his eyes at his youngest daughter.

“Jett, hello. Come in. Ladybug will be right down. Her girlfriends just left.” I assumed this was a nickname he had for Adelaide as I’d heard him call her that last night.

Shit. I wasn’t planning to go inside.

Family small talk was not my thing.

“Hey, sure. Thanks.” I shoved my hands in my pockets and followed him inside. Clementine winked at me, and I winked right back. The girl was a character for sure.

“Agree with everything my mother says and you’ll be fine,” she said under her breath when she leaned close to me. “And if not, I’ve got your back.”

I nodded and fought back the urge to laugh because she was funny as hell the way she conspired against her mother.

“Sweetheart, you remember Jett. He was here last night for the party. He and Addy are going to grab lunch at The Rusty Pelican,” her father said. He appeared to be a nice dude. No airs about him.

Her mother was a different story.

“Ah, yes. The football player, right?”

“Sure,” I said, trying to hide my irritation. I was more than a football player, but I wasn’t about to debate that with Adelaide’s mom.

“Your mom is a waitress at the diner, I believe?” she asked. She knew my mom worked at The Rusty Pelican. This town was small, and Ma had worked there for as long as I’d been alive.
