By the time we reached my house, the sky was pitch black. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, or stars. During the flight home, my high faded. Sober and alert, I had plenty of time to analyze my thoughts. Savannah was pledging her allegiance to them, but why? And for what? Or I had I really hallucinated it? I’d never been high in my life, so I didn’t know what to expect. I’d heard smoking pot made you paranoid and you laughed a lot, but hallucination wasn’t on the list. But how could I explain Priscilla?

“Are you going to tell me what’s wrong?” Milo asked shortly after landing.

I twisted around to face him. “I’m going to pay you back for my car. And…after tonight, I think we should”—I looked down at my fingernails, my face suddenly warming—“stay away from each other.”

Milo thought it through then replied, “Are you sure that’s what you want?”

“Yes,” I said standing my ground. I didn’t want to be a part of his world.

Milo narrowed his eyes then lifted his chin. “Funny. Because your face turns red when you’re lying,” he replied sounding completely unconvinced.

I dropped my hands to my sides. “No, it doesn’t.”

“What happened back there?” he asked again stepping closer to me.

“I already told you, nothing.” I didn’t want to give away how scared I was. Afraid of whatever supernatural crap Savannah was involved with. I wondered if Milo could sense my fear. I wondered if he knew about Savannah or if he knew my sister.

“You’re going to have to lie better than that if you really want me to leave,” he said taking another step. I responded by taking a step back, my body was against the wall with only a tiny gap of space between us.

He waited. “Are you sure you don’t want to see me? Because if you don’t, I promise, I won’t look for you again.”

I inhaled deeply then replied in shaken breaths. “Yes, I’m sure.”

“Why?” He placed one hand on the wall to my left, and the other to my right on the balcony railing. I tried to dodge around him but he had me trapped.

“Because I find you”—irresistible—“intimidating.”

His hand was on my back now slowly snaking its way down to my waist.

“Annoying”—and hot as hell. And I’m afraid you might be a cheating bastard like Dylan and Eddie.

With his other hand, he tugged the belt loop of my jeans and pulled me into him.

“I think it’s better this way”—because I think I might have feelings for you, I thought.

“Do you think about me when you’re alone?”

“No.” Maybe.

“I bet you even dream about me,” he whispered into my ear sending a tingling sensation down my neck.

I scoffed. “You’re the last person I think off.”

“Do you want me to kiss you?” He traced his lips slowly over my ear then down my cheek toward my neck leaving goosebumps where his lips touched. Milo’s eyelids became heavy. What was happening to me? Closing my eyes, I nodded. My lips parted expectantly, waiting for Milo to kiss me but—nothing happened.
