Chapter Six

COLE PULLS AWAY and looks into my eyes. “I feel drunk just from kissing you.”

“I feel like my heart might burst out of my chest.” I swing my leg back and sit next to him. “You were my first kiss; the first kiss that actually meant something,” I tell him, resting my hand on his thigh. I can’t get enough of touching him, his lips, his chest, and his thigh.

“I hope it’s the first of many things, Lexi.”

“How did someone just not scoop you up; you are so nice and gentle. And I can’t imagine why someone hasn’t yet. It just doesn’t make sense,” I tell him. Cole would be an awesome catch for anyone.

“I’ll be honest sometimes nice guys finish last. It seems girls are attracted to the bad boy types, who are rough and rugged. And that’s just not me. I just like to take my time with someone, and it’s hindered me a lot. I don’t rush into things. But with you my mind goes crazy, like I want to do everything at once,” he says.

“I think those are all great qualities and if someone can’t see that, than there is something seriously wrong with them. And it’s my gain,” I tell him. “And while we are talking, I’m only trying to get better because of you, and because I think we are worth it, and I’d be stupid to pass up such an opportunity. So, nice guys don’t always finish last.”

“You’re getting better because of me?” he asks in disbelief.

“Yes. Haven’t you been listening to anything I’ve said?” I laugh.

“I’ve listened to you. It’s just… I didn’t know it was because of me.”

“It’s only because of you, because I know we can be more than this. And you can’t keep living in the past if you want to move forward,” I tell him.

“You have a point.

“What are you doing today? Any plans?”

“You mean besides kissing you?” He smirks, causing me to laugh. “I need to eat. What do say to me treating you out for lunch and maybe a movie or something?”

“Sounds good to me. I’m actually hungry,” I tell him.

“Yes, I worked up an appetite.” His grin tells me all I need to hear.

Just as we are about to leave, Cole opens the door and I see a blonde standing on the other side of the doorway getting ready to knock. “Oh hey,” she says, smiling and showing off her bright teeth and a space in between her two front teeth.

“What are you doing here, Charlotte?” Cole asks, and I see his jaw clenching.

“I was wondering if we could talk.” She looks from me to Cole.

She looks like one of those small town beauty queens. Ugh, I hate her already. I can already tell they have a history. One I know nothing about.

“How about I let you two talk, and I can catch you later, if you want?” I look over to Cole and give him an obvious fake smile. I don’t wait for an answer; I just walk past him and make it to my car.
