Chapter Thirteen

Eva kissed Casey for the ninth time since walking her to her car that afternoon. After their cathartic tears and extended quality time with Casey’s parents, Eva was reluctant to let Casey go. But life had to go on.

“I wish I didn’t have to go,” Casey said.

“Me too, but you’re not too far. Maybe we’ll meet halfway for dinner this week, and then you’ll be back here Friday.” Eva rubbed Casey’s arms to help ward off the late October chill and the sad good-bye shivers.

“Like a date?” Eva wanted to squeeze her and never let her go.

“Yes, a date.” Eva framed Casey’s face with her hands. “And I’ll be able to show you off.” She bit her lip.

“Wednesdays are my short days. We’ll figure something out.” Casey held on to Eva’s wrists and closed her eyes. Eva wondered if she was imagining their date or relishing her touch. Either way, Eva didn’t move.

They stood silent for a long while. Casey didn’t climb into her car, and Eva never encouraged her to. Casey leaned back on her car and pulled Eva with her. They kissed again.

“I guess it’s safe to say your parents know about us,” Eva said before looking over her shoulder to Casey’s house. Eva gasped as Casey put her cold hands beneath Eva’s sweater and pressed against the bare skin of her lower back.

“My mother knew this was going to happen the moment she told me you were back. And then the other night when I got home from seeing you, she saw the way I struggled with anger and happiness. She helped me work through it and realize having you now is more important than anything else.”

“I should thank her, because you looked like you were ready to kill me the other night.”

“How do I look now?”

“Like you’re about to pull me into your backseat.” Casey’s fingertips dipped into the front of her jeans. Eva’s hips bucked involuntarily. She looked at Casey’s car and said, “There’s more room back there than the Focus had.”

“If I don’t get in my car right now, I will have you pinned in my backseat.” Casey’s nails scratched at Eva’s taut skin.

Eva’s whimper turned into a whine. “Go, get out of here,” she said, stepping back. “Study and ace everything so you’re not distracted when I see you Wednesday.” Casey climbed into the driver’s seat and fastened her seat belt. She rolled down the window and beckoned for Eva to lean in.

Eva had never been kissed the way Casey kissed her. So much fire flowed from Casey, Eva burned from the inside out, but the passion was tempered with a tenderness that buckled her knees and brought tears to her eyes. Eva had never been kissed with so much love. She licked her lips and savored Casey’s taste.

“I love you,” she whispered against Casey’s lips and felt her smile into the words.

“I love you too.”

“Call me as soon as you get there, and drive safe.” Eva tapped on the roof of Casey’s car and watched solemnly as she drove away.
