Landon and Eve left the homecoming dance with Downy and Ashley at about nine-thirty. They got a pizza in town and took it to Landon’s house because no one was home, thanks to Cooper. What a pal.

They snarfed down pizza and Cokes, laughing over stories everyone had to share. The second the pizza was gone, Downy grabbed his girl, lifted her up and said, “Come here, my girlfriend, and drive me out of my mind some more.” He carried her to the living room, where he chose the sofa for some rock-star-quality making out. After five minutes, he pulled her down the hall of the little house.

Landon was stunned, his mouth hanging open. “Is he doing what it looks like he’s doing?”

Eve smiled. “I prefer not to think about that too much. And of course, anything my best friend said to me is confidential.”

“Of course, yeah,” he said.

She grinned at him. “You have to wonder, though, right?”

“But he wouldn’t do the nasty here, in my bedroom, when my sister could be walking in anytime?”

“Probably not,” she said.

He smiled at her, knowing it was crooked. “Eve, I’m sorry you got stuck going to a big dance with a guy whose face is mashed in.”

She pushed back her kitchen chair and went to him, sitting on his lap. “You’re still handsome, even with your face mashed in. You got altogether too much attention from the girls, too.”

“That’s because of you,” he said. “They couldn’t believe I was with you.”

“Does your mouth hurt?” she asked.

He tilted his head and then slowly touched the place where his lip was split. “Just a little, right here.”

“Hmm,” she said, leaning forward and kissing him gently right beside it. Then she pressed her lips against his cheek. Then the goose egg on his forehead. Then his lips again. Then she smiled.

“I could heal up and be less interesting,” he said. “Think you’d go out with me again?”

“I could. But you’re going to have to ask me next time.”

“It’s kinda cool having the prettiest girl at school ask me for a date,” he said. “I’d really like to take you out tomorrow, but maybe by next Saturday night my face won’t look like I’ve been in a wreck.” He put his arms around her waist. “I want my lip healed, that’s for sure.”

“Oh?” she teased. “And why is that?”

“You’re not the only one who’s a good kisser, you know. I’m not bad—when it doesn’t make me bleed.”

She laughed at him. “When’s your birthday? Maybe for your birthday.”

“What a coincidence,” Landon said. “Next Saturday night is my birthday!”

She pulled away a bit, but put her arms around his neck. “I think you’re lying. You wouldn’t lie to me, would you, Landon?”

“And the Saturday night after that is my birthday, too,” he said, leaning toward her, his lips ready. “Go easy now,” he whispered.

And she gave him a light kiss on the side of his mouth.

“More,” he whispered, and she was happy to comply, treating him to sweet, soft kisses for a few minutes.
