Darcy pulled back, not sure she heard him right. Had Judd really just said she should date him? The boy who had told her to keep their Home Ec. room canoodling a secret? She sat up.

“Why would you want to date me?” Judd propped himself up on one elbow and looked up with a smile.

“Well, I’ve been with a lot of girls before, but never a clown. I figured it’d be a fun notch to make in my belt,” he joked.

Darcy flashed back to the story Jazz told her about Judd and his secret. His comment did not sit well with her.

“I know all about your secret little clown fetish, so I’m guessing you only want to date me because I wear my makeup a certain way. Thanks for the…tantalizing offer, but I don’t think I want to be the type of girl to fill someone’s notch.”

Judd sat up slowly, anger darkening his face.

“My sister needs her mouth sewn shut.”

“Don’t blame her! I’d rather know that you’re just attracted to the makeup and not the real me. That way I won’t go ahead and get my heart broken!”

He shot to his feet, grabbing the corner of the blanket, yanking it harshly out from under her. She stumbled to get off of it before she fell over. Judd crumpled the blanket into a ball and strode over to the bike, his body tense with fury. Opening her seat, he threw the wad of blanket in and slammed the lid shut before turning back to face her.

“If you think I’m only attracted to the makeup then you really don’t know me at all. I get I’ve got the bad boy thing going on, but you’d think all the times I came to your aid, showed you concern, might have proven there’s more to me than being a stud. I may hook up with a lot of girls, but you go ahead and ask my sister how many of them I’ve actually ever dated. I think you’ll be surprised at how low the number is.”

Darcy didn’t know what to say. Was she wrong to make a snap judgment? It was true; she really didn’t know him very well. How was she supposed to know he had a non-playboy side?

He held out the helmet to her.

“I need to get you home so I can pick Jazz up.” Darcy took her time joining him. Her emotions and thoughts were a jumbled mess. She opened her mouth several times to say something, but closed it, not knowing if she should say anything at all. She took the sleek helmet from his hand and put it on. As she fumbled with the strap, he gently brushed her hand aside and closed it for her. He tipped her chin up, so she was looking at his face. Shaking his head slightly, his words pierced a deep hole in her heart.

“Ya know Darcy, you’re the last person I would have expected to be so shallow.”
