“So what do you think? Tomorrow night?” His black eyes stared me down hard, eyebrows raised, not really smiling but hopeful. His lips looked so soft, pouting just a little, just enough. When they parted to speak, I knew he could hear me breathing. “Six thirty?” He put his hand over mine. Electricity shot through me, and I had to close my eyes for a second.

What did I think? Wait a minute, let me catch my breath here.

I knew my face was flushed. I had to collect myself. Okay, so he’d just asked me out. The totally most gorgeous guy I had ever met wanted to go out with me. And, every last ounce of me wanted to say “Yes. I think it is absolutely perfect.”

I only had one problem.

How was I going to get past the dynamic duo?

I’d spent the first sixteen years of my life trying to get my parents to allow me to do things they always thought I was too young to do. Now, I was pretty sure Silas and Jules were going to thwart my efforts at having a life.

“Sounds Perfect.” What the hello else did I have but chances to take, right?

Then he smiled, and his whole face was sunshine, the kind that slowly comes out from behind a cloud and heats you up gradually to a smolder. It’s so hot, but you just have to close your eyes and turn your face upwards – bask in it, bake in it, take it in.”

“Awesome.” And then he so gently brushed a stray wisp of hair behind my ear. I sucked in my breath, trying to deny the goose bumps that must have been all over my face by then. If Joshua’s smile was August sunshine, his fingertips were the first rays of spring, warming up my skin. “See you tomorrow, Callie.” And he turned away, heading towards his car.

I watched him amble coolly away from the picnic table where we had been feigning studying The Scarlet Letter in between bouts of heavy flirting and staring at each other wordlessly.

Who even did that? I never expected to feel this way about any guy. I mean, my thoughts about him were poetic, my daydreams of him were borderline inappropriate, and my attraction towards him was impossible to interrupt once it was set in motion. I was magnetized by Joshua Pride. Something about being with him made me never want to be anywhere else. I was beginning to get used to the way he seemed to devour me with his eyes. I honestly didn’t think he even realized when he was doing it, which kind of made it even worse… or maybe better.

All I knew was when he looked at me like that, I wanted to smash his lips with my lips, pull his face so far into my own, that he could only see my eyes, maybe even see my truths. As scary as it was, something inside of me wanted him to know.

Everything about me.

It didn’t make any sense, and I knew that.
