Man, did I ever! But I refrained from acting on my hormones and took a sip of her strawberry shake instead. It was pretty good. But I knew her lips tasted better. Probably amazing after drinking her shake. Ugh. I should have suggested the drive-thru.

“Wait. You guys went to North Carolina? Together?” Mandy asked. I liked Mandy. Mostly, because she was into Jason and didn’t try to flirt with me very much.

“Well, and our parents and five siblings,” Blythe answered wryly, shooting me a look. I had a feeling she was thinking about our night of babysitting. I grinned back at her, enjoying our insider knowledge of each other.

See, coming here had been a two-fold plan. One, I wanted to spend time with Blythe. Two, I wanted my newfound friends to see me with Blythe. I knew part of the problem was that she was a junior, but so were Mandy and Alex. This wasn’t some exclusive seniors only club. And I wanted Blythe to get in. Or I would be getting out.

I also wanted to send a message to some of the girls that have been following me around relentlessly this week. The message had been loud and clear about their interest in the new meat on the market. But, I’ve determined that I have to somehow convince Bly that we are good together. That we can have an amazing year if she will just be my girlfriend.

“Running on the beach, huh?” Alex waggled his eyebrows. “Was there a bikini involved?”

“Oh my gosh, Alex, grow up,” Deidre rolled her eyes and smacked his arm.

“Dude, not cool,” I pinned the guy with a hard stare. I felt Blythe tense up beside me and let my hand fall to her shoulder. I gave her a light squeeze and leaned in closer. I could sense how uncomfortable this was for her without Alex being a first-class douche. I wanted to light that guy up! Idiot.

“Sorry, man.” Alex’s grin fell when I didn’t let up on my disapproving glare. He cleared his throat. “I was just kidding, Blythe.”

After that, I was ready to go. We stayed another few minutes to finish our shakes and discuss the highlights of the game. Blythe couldn’t finish her shake and I was happy to take care of that for her.

“You ready?” I asked Blythe. She nodded and rose from her seat in the booth. “See you guys, Monday.”

Blythe waved goodbye to everyone and then we made our way to the door of the diner. The crowd had thinned down some, but I still had a few that were anxious to let me know how much they enjoyed the game and how excited they were about the win. I must admit, the attention is kinda cool. I’m glad we had a good game and that people were having such a fun time because of it.

“It really was a good game, Walker,” Blythe said once we made it outside. I opened the door for her to get in the car.
