bathroom that night after the football game, he would occasionally
make little snide comments to me- which I ignored. He studied my face for a
moment, before giving me an almost sincere looking smile. He leaned over to
Seth, whispering in his ear. Seth broke out into a smug grin and nodded his
head as JT handed him his pool stick. JT swaggered over and sat down close to
me on the couch. I looked straight ahead, pretending he wasn’t there.
    “Katie,” he purred
in my ear.
     I had to lean to
the side to look at him because he was so close. “JT,” I said flatly, mentally
preparing myself for whatever barbs he threw.
     “Seth tells me your
daddy had a little talk with him about you not wanting a,” he paused, running
his hand along my ponytail before continuing, “physical relationship,” he said,
contempt dripping from his voice.
     I felt heat fill my
cheeks and bit down hard on my lip, trying to fight it.
     “Oh look, I made you
blush,” he said, stroking his finger down my cheek.
     I flinched and
scooted away from him. I looked up, my eyes meeting Seth’s. He grinned but as I
got up to go to him, JT grabbed my hand, pulling me back down on the couch.
     “You can’t leave
yet, Katie. I need to talk to you.”
     I glared at him.
“Say what you have to say, JT, because I’m ready to leave,” I spat out.
    He released my hand
and looked deep into my eyes. “Seth really does love you, but he’s not going to
stick around if you don’t ditch this good girl attitude. He can have any girl
he wants, but he wants you. You need to do whatever it takes to keep him. Do
you understand what I’m telling you?” he asked.
    I understood exactly
what he was telling me and it was infuriating. “I don’t see how any of this is
your business.”
     He grinned and
leaned close. “Seth is my best friend and always has been. We talk about all
kinds of things, and I hate to see him wasting his time with you.”
     I rolled my eyes.
“Gee, thanks for the unwanted advice, JT.”
     He leaned even
closer, whispering in my ear. I shuddered as his warm breath blew against my
neck. “I’m going to tell you something but if you say anything to Seth, I’ll deny
it. I would be honored if you let me take care of your first physical
experience. You don’t want to waste that on him,” he said and kissed me below
my ear.
     I swallowed hard,
fighting back the waves of nausea as they crashed over me. He was repulsive. I
closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath. I turned and stared into his
bright blue eyes.  Suddenly, I didn’t feel disgust for him anymore. I felt
something else, pity. He had everything going for him but was completely lost.
I couldn’t stop the tear that fell from my eye as my heart broke for JT Grant.
     I reached over, put
my hand over his and squeezed. “I’ll be praying for you, JT,” I said, meaning
it with all my heart.
      I watched as his
cocky grin fell. This time when I stood up, he didn’t try to stop me and I walked
away. I found my way outside and climbed into Seth’s jeep. I didn’t care if he
got angry at me for leaving the party. I’d had enough.
    Seth came out twenty
minutes later but didn’t mention JT, so I figured he didn’t tell him what I had
said.
     He dropped me off
at home with a sweet kiss goodnight and started back to his jeep. As he stopped
to open the door, he called out over his shoulder. “Katie, I love you, but
don’t tell my friends that you’ll be praying for them.”
    He climbed on in,
started his jeep, and pulled away, leaving me alone on the porch with my
thoughts. So JT had told him . Oh well, I’m not ashamed, and I’m not
going to stop praying for JT- or for Seth.
    ***
     Our two month
anniversary came three weeks later, and Seth wouldn’t tell me what he had
planned. He said it was a surprise. He showed up at my door with a bouquet of
pink roses.
    “Where are you guys
headed tonight?” Mom asked as she dug under the kitchen sink for a vase.
