CHAPTER FIVE

Gigi

WHEN KIRK INVITED her to go do something fun, she hadn’t really known what she expected for his idea of fun, and why would she? She barely knew the guy except that he was good looking, had a sweet smile, patient with her shopping, and chatter and a terrible case of poison sumac—now cured because her mother had an affinity for all plants and Gigi picked up a lot of the minor healing magicks thanks to herbology lessons as a kid.

Maybe he liked golf? Though he wasn’t very outdoorsy, so maybe a club? He’d definitely seemed to enjoy her dancing. Instead of either, she found herself standing in a bowling alley which smelled of foot sweat, chalk, and beer while wearing a pair of the world’s ugliest and least sexy shoes and playing with balls.

“You want the one that’s not too heavy, but still has some pull on your arm.” Kirk, it seemed, was also a patient teacher. He liked the game it seemed and had a skill at it.

It was sexy as hell when he lined the ball up and let it go. It curved whichever way he wanted it, it seemed, then struck the pins. He had far more strikes than misses. And he didn’t use magic at all.

For her part, Gigi became the master of the gutter ball, and she only broke two nails. Kirk caught her hands in his when she grimaced at the sight of additional ruin to her already scorched fingertips and he murmured three words then kissed them.

Not only were the scorch marks gone, but the nails were perfectly oval-shaped and even.

“Dude, you cannot just go around giving a girl a perfect manicure.” The chide worked, because he laughed. “You will have to beat the women off with sticks.”

“I think I can handle it.”

They played another two games before he took pity on her. Then, dress still in hand, they turned in their shoes and headed over to the arcade. Pinball proved to be more her forte—and she won three games in a row. They left the bowling alley and jaunted over to a carnival on a pier somewhere in New Jersey.

They rode the merry-go-round, which she loved, and the ferris wheel, which it turned out he enjoyed. Then they got some cotton candy, and Kirk showed off his prowess winning her a couple of stuffed animals.

It was ridiculously sweet, and kind of an aww moment. It was then she glanced around at the people passing them on the boardwalk. Couples walking hand-in-hand. Kirk wasn’t holding her hand, but he had taken charge of her dress and nothing had been allowed to crumple or hurt the bag.

Rising on her tiptoes, she pressed a hand to his shoulder then brushed her lips against his. “Thank you,” she whispered when he gave her a startled look. Before she could pull away, Kirk slid an arm around her waist and tugged her close.

When his lips touched hers, he took her breath away. He tasted of cotton candy, laughter, and a montage of dance music.
