I spend all week with what Luke is going to do on the back of my mind. Through every class, every session at the writing center, every time I’m alone with my thoughts, I’m wondering what he could have meant by saying he has something in mind for me.

I’m not the type of person who likes surprises. I enjoy researching, finding out answers. I can always find what I’m looking for in a book. Except what’s going on in that crazy brain of his isn’t in any book. He probably loved being so cryptic, knowing it would make me squirm.

I ran the conversation by Becca and while she was happy to speculate with me, with her most outlandish guess being that he’ll kidnap me and lock me up in a sex dungeon where he could have his way with me, we still didn’t come any closer to figuring it out.

Though the chocolates were long gone by now, I kept the heart-shaped box on my desk in my room. Every time I saw it, my own heart would soften again. He had even gotten a box of all dark chocolates, my favorite. I wondered if he actually remembered me telling him that in passing on Thanksgiving as we ate pie, or if it was just a coincidence. My gut told me it was the former. He certainly had no trouble recalling the events of Halloween night.

I had no idea what his mysterious remark about having something in mind for me meant, but now that we were talking again, I couldn’t wait to see him. Technically, I should be discouraging any kind of relationship other than a student-teacher one, but I rationalized to myself that I wasn’t doing anything in particular to encourage him. Well, except provoking him back at the gym. And then telling him I still want him in class last week. Yeah, those two things probably didn’t help. I’ll just forget about those. He said he would be the one to act, not me, (though I’m still not sure what that entailed) and that’s what I was focusing on. Not the fact that I was potentially about to jeopardize the very thing that started all of this - my job as his TA.

I could hear my mother’s voice in the back of my head warning me about risking everything for some guy, but she herself had never taken a risk after my dad left. She hadn’t remarried, brought a man around, even dated again as far as I was aware. She always said she wanted me to be happy, but she was quick to judge when it came to men. When things had ended with both of my previous boyfriends, she had been right there with a lot of “I knew he wasn’t good enough for you” comments. I know she was just looking out for me, but no wonder it was hard to trust guys.

The more time I spent with Luke, though, the safer I felt. I understood too that the closer I got, the higher the potential for heartbreak.
