So, I guess York and I were not actually going to talk about it. Because that little convo we’d had in my room had cleared up absolutely nothing for me.

I mean, if anything, I was even more confused now than ever.

Last week, I’d never kissed a boy before, had no prospects of kissing one, and wasn’t even thinking about kisses in general.

This week, it was the only thing on my mind, and the boy I was getting all the lip action from was York. I repeat, York.

It just felt so insane.

When he pulled into my drive the next morning to take me to school, I was once again a tense and rigid mess.

“Hey,” he said—the same thing he’d said on Monday and Tuesday.

“Hi,” I murmured quietly, repeating my own daily dialogue.

He put the Jeep in reverse and backed from the driveway.

Silence reigned between us.

Okay, I couldn’t take this anymore.

I turned to him, lifting my eyebrows. “So did you send Wes to the bookstore on Monday to apologize to me?”

York glanced over in surprise. “I didn’t send him to the bookstore,” he hedged. “I just told him he needed to apologize, but I figured he’d do it at school. He actually went to see you at the bookstore, though? Wow.”

I nodded. “Yep.” I didn’t mention the part where Wes had failed to pay for his drink. I didn’t need York to force another non-apology from him. “So did he tell you he never messed with Aria while you two were dating?”

York straightened and glanced at me in surprise. “Yeah. He did later Monday night, in fact. Was that because of you?”

I shrugged, still smugly happy I’d gotten York’s answer for him, concerning that question. “So if he didn’t tell you about that, then I’m guessing he didn’t tell you about what we overheard together while he was there, either.”

“No.” York shook his head, seemingly confused. “Since I didn’t even know he visited you at all. What’d you guys overhear?”

“I think my boss is having an affair with a married man,” I blurted, nodding eagerly and needing to talk to him about something, anything, just as long as it wasn’t about me and him…kissing.

He blinked in surprise and glanced over. “Say what?”

“I know! And get this…”

From there, I proceeded to tell him all about Kaylynn’s phone call, glad I had a topic to blather on about because one more day of a silent car ride with him to school would’ve freaking killed me.

His eyes grew big as I spoke, which made me happier that I was actually entertaining him with my story, too.

“No way,” he gasped at the end. “I never would’ve pictured Kaylynn as the other-woman type. She seems so independent and self-assured, you know.”

I nodded because I totally agreed.

“I wonder who it is,” he murmured thoughtfully and lifted an eyebrow my way. “Did you hear her say a name?”

“Nope. I had no idea she was seeing anyone. She acted as if nothing had happened when she came out of her office again.
