Chapter Thirteen
The day I dreaded had finally arrived. I tapped on my phone throughout class, hoping to see the message I envisioned in my dreams.
Sorry, honey. Gonna have to cancel.
Sorry, Alex. My boyfriend decided family doesnât actually mean anything.
Sorry, but Iâm just not hungry enough to endure lunch with you.
Though I expected messages as so would never come across, it wouldnât bother me if they actually did. At this point in my life, I didnât think there was anything my mom could do to ruin our relationship any further. I respected her for the fact that she raised me. That didnât mean she wasnât going to a retirement home if it ever came down to me taking care of her.
Class was dismissed and I walked out the door, jumping at the sudden pressure on my shoulder. With a fright that could have caused me to knock someone out, I decided rather to catch my breath and turn to see the culprit.
Chase stood outside, waiting for me apparently. He held two smoothies, both alike in dignity, and handed one to me.
âI remembered what you got the last time. Hope you havenât changed your mind since then.â
My heart never got used to how cute he was. And despite the rule of attraction stating that a person which was not yours will instantly be more attractive, I found it just the opposite. Being able to wrap my arms about him, knowing that they wouldnât be hugging any other with the same affection, caused my attraction for him to skyrocket. Pressing into the warmth of his hoodie and the security of his toned arms and abs, I didnât know how anyone would feel less attracted for being there.
âThanks, you didnât have to do that.â
âThereâs a lot of things I donât have to do. I do it because I want to.â
He pulled me closer and kissed my head. A shiver traveled down my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck rose. My eyes met his, a glimmer of my happiness reflected in his brown irises. For the first time as an actual couple, I rose up on my tiptoes and planted my lips on his.
Though not as long as our other kisses, passing as soon as it came, it wasnât any less intimate. The taste of orange and vanilla, with a dash of cinnamon, passed to my lips before I could even get a taste of my smoothie. But, coming from him, it tasted so much sweeter.
âYou have any plans for lunch?â
âActually, I do.â
His smile dropped and peered at the ground.
âOh.â
âItâs nothing serious. Itâs actually pretty stupid. My mom is in town and wanted to have lunch with me.â
âShouldnât you be excited? From what Iâve seen, you havenât left campus for a weekend since you got here. Donât you miss her?â
âI miss her about as much as a used tissue. I really donât need to talk with her in person just to hear her complaining.â
âI get it. I do. But maybe she needs to see you because sheâs missing you.
