dollars the devil is playing hockey down in hell right now.”
    “Oh, come on. He’s twenty-two, for crying out loud; he’s had to have gone on a date at some point in his life,” Becca says, slapping Parker on the thigh before turning her attention to Chase and me.
    Chase lets out a deep chuckle and holds his hand up in the air with his index finger pointing down at himself. “Hello! I’m sitting right here, and for your information, I’ve been on dates, thank you very much . I’ve just never gone out with a girl without having a group of our friends tagging along with us.”
    Propping myself up on my forearms, I look up at Chase. “I’m excited for our date and honored I’m the first girl you’ll be taking out on a real one. I just have two requests: Please do not take me to do anything involving heights or sharks.”
    Giving me his adorable, melt-your-heart grin he bends down, slides his fingers under my chin, tilts my head up towards him, and presses a sweet, heart-fluttering kiss to my lips. “Deal,” he murmurs against my lips before pulling away from me, leaving me hungry for more.
    I give him a small smile as I watch him grab my bottle of suntan lotion from my beach bag and pour some into the palm of his hand. “You’re lookin’ a little red, and the last thing I need is for you to get sunburned and have to cancel our hot date.”
    The idea of him running his hands over my body makes my heart stop and jump start again. Last night, just that kiss he gave me had my resolve crumbling. I am trying to be smart and take things slow, but he makes it almost impossible to do so when he’s constantly tempting me to throw caution to the wind and do everything my body is screaming at me to do.
    It’s so hard to decide who to listen to when your head and your body are both screaming at you to do two different things.

    Chase programmed his number into my phone today at the beach, and then called it so mine could be saved into his, so around five o’ clock, I wasn’t too surprised to receive a text from him. He wrote me, saying to wear shorts, a tank top, and bring a hoodie. That was his only request for our date, and even after asking him a million times, he refused to tell me where he was taking me.
    He was so sweet, and looked as handsome as ever when he knocked on the beach house door at six sharp. He was wearing cargo shorts, and a tight-fitting blue shirt that made his ocean blue eyes shine even brighter.
    We took his Silverado, but he promised tomorrow he’d take me for a ride on his motorcycle. I continued to try and guess what we were doing for our date, but he refused to give me even the smallest clue. His lips were sealed, and when we got about three minutes away from our destination, he made me cover my eyes until he was parked.
    So here we sit, and finally, he tells me I can look, and I literally laugh out loud as I take in the sign that says NASCAR Speedpark. Of course he brought me to a go-kart track. He is too cute. He has the biggest grin on his face, and it’s contagious. Seeing him so excited for our date has me bursting with excitement of my own.
    I tell him professional or not, I’m so going to beat his ass. I love go-kart racing. It’s one of my favorite things to do besides miniature golf when my friends and I go out.
    After waiting in line, in which Chase signs a few autographs for some kids, seeming to make their year by chatting with them and signing their pamphlet for the go kart track, we finally get to pick our cars at the Slidewayz Track. This place has a variety of tracks to choose from. I’m excited to race on this one, and hopefully a few others. There’s even one where you get to race in mini versions of a NASCAR car!
    I pick the go-kart just behind Chase and buckle myself in, quickly getting myself all situated. I’m ready to see Chase in his element and having fun. I feel like I’m seeing a part of him not many get to see, and it makes this date that much more
