CHAPTER 27

Do you want to cuddle?

Keep your foot on the brake, but don’t step too hard on it. That’s my second lesson for the day. I nod to Calum’s next instruction. He is not a bad tutor, but my dirty mind is playing a driving kink.

“Relax, Cathie,” Calum says.

I ease my grip on the steering, aware my stiffness is from my thoughts, not driving. We start from our driveway, and I drive to one end of the street at a snail’s speed. Calum eggs me on with a grin, not once complaining of my slowness. Dad would have mentioned it at least twice. I park at the other end of the cul-de-sac, and he claps. His expression is a mix of pride, care, and awe.

Something has changed between us. Something words cannot express. I release my seatbelt and sit cross-legged on my chair. Calum leans on the door with his elbow jutting out of the window.

“Do you want to cuddle tonight?” I ask.

“Do you?”

His face says nothing. I don’t know if it’s a trick question. “I always want to cuddle with you.”

My sincerity hovers in the air. The almighty Calum blushes and looks outside the window.

“Yeah.”

“Yeah, what?” I tease.

He looks back at me. A hand stretches forward to take mine. “Yeah, I want to cuddle later.”

“With Cathie,” I finish for him.

Up ahead, a car roars. We watch it disappear into the distance, and I’m reminded why we are here. To learn how to drive, not to flirt. My phone pings. I’m reluctant to check it. It beeps again. Calum frowns, and I grab it. There are messages from our group chat. I read the last one.

Boys Code is up.

“I don’t have your number,” I tell Calum.

“You didn’t ask,” he replies.

I hand him my phone to type his number. Once it’s saved as C, I text him the link to Boys Code.

“We are now live.”

“How does it work?” he asks.

We spend the next few minutes on a tutorial. Like its counterpart, Boys Code is a site for boys to share their failed experiences with girls. When the website tutorial is over, the air thickens with words we will never tell each other. I peek at the clouds. The weather isn’t so cold today.

“Do you want to drive us around?” Calum asks.

As opposed to driving us back home? Yes. I shift the gear into drive. There’s no location as I drive down familiar streets and burst into the main road. I realise a few minutes into the drive that I’m headed to TTTT, the cafe we had our first date. Excitement erupts in my chest. We are almost at TTTT when I steal a glance at Calum. He’s staring straight ahead at the place.

Is he also remembering our date?

“Do you want to go in?” I ask.

“Do you?”

I don’t know. We ate already. I shake my head.

“Me too,” Calum replies. I laugh, and his lips form a small smile. When I think he will touch me, he retracts his hand. I am not counting this as a date, but I like his silent company.
