The one person I can always count on to make me feel better is Charlie. That’s why I’m climbing through her window the moment her Gram’s light goes off.

She’s lying on her side on the bed, her homework sprawled out in front of her. Her hair is twisted into a sexy bun and she has those glasses on that make her look like a naughty Librarian. I suddenly forget why I was even upset.

Her eyes are filled with concern when I step onto her bedroom floor. She sits up straighter, her pen falling onto her notebook. “Are you in trouble?”

I slump my shoulders and put on my most pathetic look. “Yeah, I’m grounded.”

She laughs. “Seriously?”

I sputter a laugh of my own before flopping down on the bed beside her. “No. Does that like really happen?”

Charlie shuts her notebook and gives me a sideways glance. “Um, yeah. Most adolescents are supposed to follow the rules set by their parents.”

“Guess I’m not one of them.”

“Guess not,” she replies dryly.

I inch my fingers over to her hand. Her skin is always so warm and soft. My eyes drift to her tank top and I think about shoving my face in between…

“Ollie?”

I look up at her and flash an innocent smile. “What?”

She gives me an irritated look for a moment and then her eyes soften. “Are you upset?”

I keep my gaze focused on her hand as I run my fingers along the back of it. “About what?”

She sighs. “Missing the game on Friday. I know it’s important.”

Her fingers lace through mine and I close my eyes for a moment. Nothing ever feels bad when I’m with her. Especially now that I can kiss her anytime I want.

Instead of answering her question, I pull her over to me so her lips are inches from mine. “I don’t feel so bad right now.”

She pulls back, and I groan. “Can’t you be serious for one minute? I know you’re upset.”

“I am,” I say, tugging her back to me. “I’m sad, so you need to kiss me right now and make it better.”

She smiles and grabs the sides of my face, holding me away. “You’re stupid for taking the fall for them. They couldn’t have suspended all of you.”

I try to move forward, but she holds me out of reach. I sigh. “I’m loyal. What can I say?”

“You promise?” she whispers back.

There’s something about the way she says it that makes me think it’s not about the prank, or the team. She’s talking about us. We haven’t set any kind of boundaries or put a label on what we are, but that doesn’t matter. She belongs to me and I belong to her. Period.

She releases me and I quickly lean in to catch her lips. I fight the urge to deepen the kiss, and instead pull back to see her face.

“I’m yours, Charlie.” I kiss the side of her head and tug her into my side, wrapping my arms around her tight. “That’s a promise.”
