The week flies by. I haven’t really spoken to Aiden much, and I still haven’t let him know about the date, which should happen tonight.

“What are you doing later?” Addison asks as she takes a drink from the fridge. I stand at the counter of the café on the Friday afternoon shift.

“I’m not sure. Aiden asked me earlier this week to go on a date with him. I still haven’t answered him, though.”

Addison’s eyes go wide. “Why didn’t you say yes?”

I fold my arms across my chest and purse my lips, then say, “Because I had your annoying voice in my head basically telling me I shouldn’t fall for him.”

Her mouth forms an O shape. “I’m sorry. Don’t listen to me, Els. I didn’t mean for you to second-guess yourself. I just don’t want to see you get hurt.”

I sigh. “I know, and you’re right. I do fall hard and fast. I’ve already kind of fallen for him, and I don’t want those feelings to develop any more than what they already have, because I don’t want to end up hurt.”

Addison steps around the counter and wraps me in her arms. Stepping back, she says, “Go on the damn date, girl. Have fun, and if you need a shoulder to cry on, I’ll be here. What I said the other day was more a small warning, in a way. We’ve only known him two weeks, and I don’t want you hurt. I guess getting hurt by boys is a part of life, though. We all have to experience the hard parts of dating, and that includes the break-up.” She shrugs.

“So, I should go?”

Addison nods, smiling.

“Okay. I’ll message him.”

As I finish, the door opens, and both Addison’s and my heads turn.

Aiden’s standing there. Speak of the devil.

The grin on her face tells me she possibly had something to do with it. I turn back to Addison, smile, and shake my head. “Did you plan this?” I whisper.

“He told me what had happened. So, I was waiting until now to talk to you about it. Go… have fun, Elsie.”

I glance at my watch. It’s five in the afternoon. “But I’m not finished yet.”

“Yes, you are. I’m going to cover you for the last hour before shift change.”

My lips pull into a smile. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” she almost shouts.

“Come on, firecracker. I’ve got something fun planned.”

I bet he does—fun is Aiden’s middle name.

“It better not be anything stupid or way out there, like jumping off a cliff. Also, you’re not allowed to dare me to do anything tonight.” Not that I’d refuse another kiss, but who the hell knows what else he’ll have me do.

Aiden holds his hand up as if he’s swearing on a bible in front of a judge while his other is placed over his chest. “I promise you’ll have fun, and that’s the only dare I’ll give you. I dare you to have fun.”

I roll my eyes and turn to Addison, who’s got a stupid grin on her face.

“Get out of here before I have to literally kick you in the bum,” Addison says.
