Chapter Five

It’s almost dark outside as we leave The LoveSick; the streets are full of pedestrians: pretty ladies in heels and dashing men of all ages rushing in the streets toward their awaiting dates, while the couples stroll together more leisurely, enjoying being close.

After a few steps, Jared’s hand searches for mine. His is warm and strong around mine—it’s the first time I’m actually feeling small and fragile near another person. It’s not a bad feeling. I also feel like I’m worth a million bucks, the way he makes sure I’m comfortable, not tripping on the pavement… he is very protective of me, even in the tiniest gestures he makes, like slowing his pace. I love how he takes the left side, moving so that he’s between me and the road.

We’re not talking much. The atmosphere is electric, full of possibilities. I’m really enjoying this date—even the bad start is not enough to taint it.

As we walk by a narrow side street, he suddenly pushes me toward it. There, as we’re mostly out of sight, he crowds me against the wall. Jared’s hands find my waist, and he bends to kiss my neck. “You smell so good,” he breathes against my ear, sending waves of desire down my spine.

I cannot move or react for a moment, completely stunned—in a good way. I have a hard time breathing. And thinking. I just want more of his touch.

I put both my hands on his face, making him look at me. I’m mesmerized by him—the way he moves so deftly and confidently, his good looks, his scent—but I know this is not just physical attraction, because I’ve fallen in love with the way he talks and banters with me… but damn, there is something animal in the way I feel about him. A raw need, an urgency.

As I’m realizing I’m ready for anything he’ll ask of me, he kisses me softly once, and draws back. “You’re really something, don’t you know?”

“Well,” I say, looking at my feet, “I know why I feel so strongly about you. But I’m wondering what you could possibly find in me that’s so special.”

“You don’t see yourself clearly,” he scolds sweetly. “I was falling head over heels for you as soon as I heard your first joke. I love the way we fit, like puzzle pieces—the synchronicity we seem to have.”

“I love that about you too,” I admit, feeling kind of light-headed that we’re confessing our feelings for each other so quickly.

His face becomes serious all of a sudden, all sweetness gone.

“They’re yours, babe. The brains, the heart, the whole body. Yours for the taking, if you’ll dare.”

“I— I—“ I babble.

“What’s happening, gorgeous? Not sure you want the whole package?” he teases, smirk reappearing at the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t call me that…”

“What? Gorgeous? Why not?” Jared asks, dazed. “Is there some kind of law I’m not aware of that prohibits me from calling you by an adjective that applies to you?”

“I don’t deserve— I’m not gorgeous. I—”

“I love a pretty girl who’s not aware of her beauty.
