LESSON FOUR

A way to a woman’s heart is

definitely not through her stomach,

especially from some phony boloney.

Thursday afternoon, gift number four arrived right on schedule. I had to admit, the flattery of a secret admirer was wearing thin. This was becoming way too much work, and quite frankly, it was starting to freak me out.

I picked up the box on my desk and unwrapped it when a knock came on my door. “Well,” asked Gavin, entering in typical Gavin style without waiting for an invitation. Then again, who was I kidding? He knew I’d never refuse him.

“Well what?” I asked, teasing him with a smile.

“You know what. You’ve been dragging me around all week, trying to figure this whole secret admirer thing out. I can’t help but wonder what you got today?”

I held the box out for him. “See for yourself.”

He took the pastry box from my hands and peeked inside. “Mmmm. I haven’t had Chocolate Caramel Surprise since the last time you took me to that mom and pop bakery,” he paused for a minute and looked at me, “what was it called?”

“Russo’s Little Slice of Heaven.”

“That’s right. Mind if I have a piece? There’s enough here for two.”

I laughed as he dug in before I’d even said yes, confident of what the answer would be. I had to admire that Gavin pretty much got whatever Gavin wanted. I often wished I had that confidence, but I tended to second guess everything and not proceed unless something made perfect sense.

“Help yourself. Oh, wait, you already did.” I snickered.

He smirked, shoveling a forkful of the heavenly gooey concoction into his mouth. “Oh, God, can you blame me,” he mumbled between chews and moans. He filled a fork once more, only this time he grabbed my hand and pulled me between his knees and held the fork up to my mouth.

“Um, uh, oh my,” I managed a second before he poked the fork between my lips, and a rush of heat flooded my body. Did I have a fever? Maybe I was coming down with a spring flu.

“Come on, you know you can’t resist any more than I can.” He licked the corner of his lips and stared at mine, his teasing smile gone and his breathing seemed to grow heavier. “You have chocolate right there.” He swiped my bottom lip with his thumb before I had a chance to grab a napkin and then brought his thumb to his mouth to lick the chocolate off.

I gasped. “Oh, well, thanks,” I croaked. Something seemed off between us today. Electricity charged the air surrounding us. Maybe it was a full moon. That had to be why he kept giving me strange looks and acting weird, and for some reason, I couldn’t stop staring at his mouth. Why had I never noticed how full his lips were?

“So, what’s next Sherlock?” He playfully shoved me out from between his knees. “How do we find out who knows your favorite dessert is Chocolate Caramel Surprise?” And with that, the tension evaporated.
