Chapter Twenty-Five

Alyssa

Two days. It had been two days since I'd seen Demetri. He'd stopped by the store once. And sadly, I'd watched him through the window when he sang his jingle. He looked like hell.

I wanted to hug him, to touch him; was he upset with me or something? He'd texted me a few times, but we hadn't really hung out and it sucked. It made me realize a few things about myself. First, I was pathetic. And second, I really liked him. I more than liked him. I couldn't even sleep anymore because memories of him with me in bed kept flooding into my consciousness, making me toss and turn like crazy.

It was time. I needed to be bold; otherwise, I was going to lose him. At least I knew I couldn't stand to lose him. I felt like I was making progress, and it was all because of Demetri that I was! I even put away the yearbooks scattered in my room. I didn't have the heart to throw away Brady's sweatshirt, so I hid it in my closet. But at least I wasn't wearing it. See? Progress!

I smiled to myself and wiped down the counters. I only had another hour and then I was going to hunt that boy down and kiss him. I shivered just thinking about it.

"Someone's happy today," a familiar voice announced. I hadn't even heard the bell jingle above the door. Sam walked in, hands in his jean pockets. Handsome just like his brother, only this time when I thought of it, it made me smile instead of cry.

"Need a taffy fix?" I grinned. He didn't smile back. "Sam, what's up? You need sugar that bad?"

"No." He shuffled his feet and refused to look at me directly in the eyes. Geez, what was his deal?

"So, you're here to stare at the ground? You know you can do that outside, right?"

This time his lips tilted upward into a smile. "You make things hard on a guy, Alyssa."

I didn't like the tone of his voice. "Well, I have been told I'm difficult."

"More than difficult." He pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and fidgeted with it. "I, um, I have something for you."

"Aw, a poem, you shouldn't have," I teased.

"Alyssa." He groaned and stuffed the note back into his pocket. "Never mind. This isn't right. I'll… I'll see you later." And just like that he bolted.

"Weird," I said aloud. If I didn't know better I'd think he was just about to pass me a note that said, Do you like me? If you do, circle yes. If you don't, circle no. The guy was super nervous-looking. Oh well. I didn't have time to think about his reaction much, considering four customers walked in when he walked out.

An hour later I was walking along the beach. I had texted Demetri and told him to meet me there. I don't know why I was nervous. I mean, we'd kissed before. Actually, we'd kissed more than a few times, and every time we did I could have sworn I heard music.
