Chapter Twelve

“I hope this guy has better taste in plays than he does in documentaries,” Audrey says from her spot on the couch.

She’s flipping through a fashion magazine and waiting for her toenails to dry.

I sit down on the other end. “I don’t think he knows much about it. He wants to see it because a friend of his has one of the leading roles.”

“You don’t seem very excited, Hannah. Why are you going if you’re not into him?”

“He likes me, and he’s a nice guy. I don’t want to write him off without giving him a chance. I wouldn’t want anyone doing that to me.”

“Just remember, you don’t have to go out with someone just because they like you. You need to like them, too. And you don’t owe him anything.”

“Understood,” I say, giving her a salute.

She sighs. “I’m sorry if I sound bossy. I want you to have a good time, that’s all.”

“I know you do. So do I.”

“Well, you look hot. He’s not going to know what hit him.”

I smile, but I’ve been ready over half an hour, and the extra time has not been good for me. I’m not all that thrilled at the idea of seeing him again, so I’ve been giving myself a pep talk, trying to convince myself I’ll have a great time.

I’m supposed to meet him outside my dorm, since technically he can’t get into mine, but he knocks on my door just as I’m about to leave.

“Someone let me in. I hope that’s okay.”

It’s kind of annoying, actually, but I don’t tell him that.

“Sure. I’m ready anyway.”

“You look great,” he says, his gaze taking me in with appreciation.

“Thanks, so do you.”

I’m not sure if that’s a lame thing to say or not. I mean, he looks fine, but guys kind of look the way they look from one day to the next. Casey looks pretty much the same every time I see him, it’s just that he’s always gorgeous.

But no more thoughts about Casey. I’m with Brian.

Brian Brian Brian.

“This is Audrey,” I say, grabbing my jacket from the chair.

“You kids have a good time,” she says sweetly.

“Don’t mind her,” I say, rolling my eyes at her as I shut the door behind us.

He steps back and lets me precede him down the hall, which is sweet but makes me self-conscious, too. I push through the door to the stairway and nearly hit Casey as he comes through the other side. He looks at me, then Brian, then back at me, taking in my brown leather boots, black skirt, and the thigh-high tights Audrey loaned me. I wasn’t trying to be super sexy, but the skirt is short enough that you can see a sliver of skin above my thigh-highs.

Heat rushes to my face at the memory of his body hard under mine.

“Hey, Casey,” I say, trying to sound normal.

“Hey, Hannah. What’s up?”

The words are casual but said with an edge. I’ve never seen him this way, sort of watchful and tense. He nods at Brian, acknowledging his existence, but there’s nothing friendly in it.
