Past…

“Would you stop it,” Jace growls. “Every time I go to kiss you, you try to stick that thing up my nose.”

“The sooner you let me do it, the sooner I’ll stop.”

Scowling, he looks around the band room closet. “Fine. But only if I get to kiss you after.”

“That depends,” I say coyly.

“On?”

I shove the tampon up his nostril. “If you and Britney are over for good.”

I need to hear him say the words.

“Over? We never even started.” His hand finds my waist. “How could we when the only girl I want is you?”

It’s all I can do not to pinch myself to make sure this is actually happening. “Really?”

His lips curl in a slow smile. “You have no idea, do you?”

“About what?”

The intensity of his stare makes my breath catch. “How deep my feelings for you run.”

No, but if what he feels for me is even a fraction of what I feel for him, I fear we’ll both spontaneously combust.

“How deep are we talking? Puddles? Ponds? Lakes?”

Tell me oceans, dammit.

His hands frame my face. “The Mariana Trench isn’t deep enough.”

My heart flutters like the wings of a hummingbird.

Jace Covington just told me he loves me…with a tampon in his nostril.

This is officially the happiest moment of my life.

“Can I kiss you now?” he huffs. “Trust me, I’m much better at that than this romantic shit.”

I start to laugh…until he slants his mouth over mine.

Then I’m soaring, flying…

“I can’t do this,” he grunts.

My lungs seize. No, no. no. I knew it was too good to be true.

I’m so stupid.

“Whoa.” Concern flashes in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Lord help me, I’m going to kill him. “Please tell me you’re not that dumb. You just said you can’t—”

“Kiss you with a tampon stuck up my nose.” He yanks on the string until it comes out. “Not only is it a mood killer, it’s screwing up my incredible kissing abilities.”

I look down. “Oh.”

Evidently, I’m that dumb. And insecure.

Seeing him with Britney seriously screwed me up.

As if sensing my internal distress, he wraps his arms around me, drawing me into a bear hug. “I’m sorry.”

I breathe in his cool, clean scent. “Why Britney? Out of all the girls you could have chosen to go to the dance with. Why her?”

“Because I wanted to hurt you and push you away. I hate that it worked so well.” He tips my chin. “But it won’t happen again. Promise.”

He looks so earnest; warmth floods my chest.

But just as quickly, a spark of jealousy blooms. “Did you kiss her?”

“No.”

I peer into his dark orbs. “Have sex with her?”

He looks at me like I’ve sprouted another head. “Seriously?”

Considering some of our classmates have started going at it like rabbits, it’s not entirely out of the question.

“If I didn’t want to kiss her, what the hell makes you think I’d screw her?”

He has a point.

Exhaling, I look up at the ceiling. “I don’t know. I’m just…”

Jealous. Bitter. Anxious. All of the above.

“I get it.” A muscle in his jaw flexes.
