Chapter Thirteen

Monday dawned, and I was puzzled by the weekend’s events, so much so I almost decided against running with Ryan. That, though, would have been a terrible misstep.

We didn’t say much at the beginning of our run. I was a little annoyed with him, and for some odd reason, he was acting nervous.

Then out of the blue he said, “I have two tickets.”

I had heard this before. “And you need a babysitter?” I couldn’t keep the ice out of my voice.

He laughed at me, reached down, and grabbed my hand. “Hold up for a second.”

I stopped and faced him. He kept my hand in his; his touch wasn’t lost on me or the butterflies.

“I’m not asking you to babysit Josh.” He smiled. “I’m trying to ask you out.”

I bit my lip. “Like on a date?”

He stepped closer as a fellow runner passed us and grinned.

Just keep on going, buddy, there’s nothing to see here, I thought. I didn’t want any distractions for the moment I had been waiting for since before I was even old enough to date.

“I think that’s what they call it when a man and a woman go to see One Republic.”

That was it, Ryan had officially ruined me for life. I squealed and threw my arms around him, not thinking that we were both sweaty. Actually, that was a bit of a turn on, I’m not going to lie. “How did you manage to get tickets?”

He reciprocated the hug. “I know a guy. So does this mean you’ll go with me?” he whispered in my ear, which drove me crazy.

I let go of him, but not before kissing his cheek.

He reached up and touched his cheek where my lips just departed. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

“Heck, yes! Oh my gosh, I’m so excited.”

“I couldn’t have our first date be to the movies, and I had to top Friday night’s date.”

I rolled my eyes at him. “Believe me, this wins best first date ever. Not like it’s a competition though.”

“Best ever, huh?” He grinned.

“Don’t let it go to your head.” I jogged away.

He followed me. “Better than horseback riding?”

“Are we still on that?” I smiled over at him. “Thank you, by the way.”

“It was my fault that you missed out on the tickets in the first place.”

“Well, at least you got to see your foreign film.”

“Are we still on that?” he threw back at me.

I nudged him and he chuckled.

I think I floated into the house. I didn’t even bother with stretching. I think I was going to wear a permanent smile on my face for, like, ever. In two days, I was going to be with both of my Ryans. I had to text Krissy. She was coming home the next day, but I knew she would want to know this. She could spare a few minutes for her best friend, right?

Krissy was going to have to be second in line though. My dad was up and eating a bagel when I glided into the kitchen.
