Chapter 30 – Oops

– Amberlyn

That boy was going to drive me insane! I practically threw my backpack onto the chair beside me, ripped open the zipper, and hauled out my notebook and pen.

Aiden sauntered into the game room and sat casually across from me, yawning as he set down his backpack and pulled out a slip of paper.

“What’s that?” I lifted my chin in the direction of his paper.

“The coaches of the guys’ teams gave us the instructions since you girls got to draw our names.”

“What are the instructions?” I asked, curious in spite of my determination to stay angry.

“They’ve divided up the whole Lakeshore region. Each couple will be paired up with another couple so we can reach all the different schools.”

“We are not a couple.” I crossed my arms. He barely paused, and I swear he was holding back laughter.

“You and I will be paired up with Connor and Addie from the volleyball team, and we’ll be in charge of reaching out to the Rockford School District.”

“Oh, I bet Bella is furious that Connor will be hanging out with Addie.”

Aiden stopped and looked up at me, with his jaw dropped.

“What? Bella and Connor are talking.”

“We’re not couples, remember?” Aiden smirked.

“Whatever.” I picked at my fingernails, pretending to be bored.

“I was thinking we could start by going to their school’s website and seeing if we could find out the names of the coaches.”

“I think we should start by calling the administration office,” I interrupted.

“What?”

“You know, where the superintendent works. We can tell them about the project and see if they can get all the coaches phone numbers for us.” I stopped to wait for his reaction.

“That’s brilliant,” Aiden said.

“Thank you.” I genuinely smiled for the first time that day.

“You are so beautiful.”

My smile fell, and I panicked. “You can’t say stuff like that to me.”

“Why?” He lifted his eyebrows.

“Because you’re not my boyfriend any—I mean, you never were my boyfriend.”

“I guess we remember things differently,” he said.

“What do you mean by that?” I felt my lip quiver.

His voice dropped to a near whisper. “You may not remember having me for a boyfriend, but I will never forget the way it felt to have you for my girlfriend.”

“I was never—”

“Amberlyn, stop.”

“Stop what?” My voice was almost a squeak. He came around the table, knelt beside me, and placed his hands on my hips. He was so tall that even kneeling he was nearly at eye level.

“Stop fighting this,” he whispered. “Stop fighting me.”

I twisted a tiny curl of his hair around my finger. I swear the sound that came from somewhere deep inside him was practically a purr, and he leaned into my hand.

He turned his face and grazed his nose along the inside of my wrist. I melted right into his arms, and before I knew what was happening, we were kissing, I mean, really, really kissing. I could almost hear the eighties make-out playlist dancing through the back of my mind.

“Gross,” my little sister Janie said from behind Aiden.
