hair behind her ear and she shivered at the contact. He moved just close enough that she could feel his breath on her cheek, “I’m really good at Chemistry,” he whispered.
Katie stepped back and swallowed the lump in her throat. “Ummmmm, what exactly are you implying Zach?”
“Guess you’ll have to study with me to find out,” he reached to grasp her arms, but she moved back to let him in.
“I’m actually eating dinner right now. I studied for the test earlier this afternoon. Hannah helped me,” she sighed as she followed him into the family room. “Zach you can’t stay here, my mom will have a fit.”
“I’ll leave before she gets back,” he shrugged.
“Uhhh ok, that’s not really what I meant. I’m not into breaking the rules and my mom is pretty lenient when it comes to me,” she knotted her fingers together.
“Relax,” Zach flopped on the couch. “I’m not doing anything wrong. I thought we were friends?” he gave her the puppy dog eyes.
“We are, but you can’t just show up like this. How about I meet you at the library tomorrow afternoon and we can study then?” she glanced at the door as if someone would come in any minute when she knew that it would be hours before her mom would be back from her date.
“I’ve got news for you,” he rose and moved closer to her. “There’s nothing that I can do here that I wouldn’t do in the library either.” He reached once again to try and take her in his arms as he smirked, “I know you want me, and you know it too. You just need to give in and go on a date with me.”
“I don’t think so,” she countered, placing a hand on his chest to halt his advance. “You want to be friends? Fine. That’s all you’re getting from me.” She walked to the door and opened it. “Now if you’ll excuse me I want to get back to my dinner.”
Zach strutted over to the door and offered a wicked smile as he sauntered down the steps only looking over his shoulder once. “You’ll change your mind. You’ll see. Tomorrow, 3:00 at the library.”
Katie closed the door and placed her back against it, slowly slipping to the floor. Zach was right she thought. I do like him. He not my type, he’s not my type she kept telling herself this over and over as she tried to convince her brain that she did not like him like that.
ooooo
Austin glanced several times at Melanie as they made their way to the restaurant. She was pensively staring out the window.
“Rough day?” he asked.
“A little,” she replied. “I’m sorry, I’m just a little distracted. Sometimes I have a hard time leaving work at work.”
She smiled at him and noticed that he had missed the light turning green. He was so busy watching her that he was having a hard time paying attention.
Moments later they parked and Austin helped her out of the car. Melanie jumped slightly when he placed his hand on her lower back to guide her to the door. A slight tingle coursed through her body. She shook it off and smiled at him. She liked how Austin took charge of the date without being overbearing. He held the door, pulled out her chair, made suggestions without ordering for her, and tried valiantly to keep the conversation moving. She found that it was turning out to be a more than pleasant night and she wasn’t looking forward to it ending like she had with so many other dates. Austin was charming and not at all bad to look at either. Katie had hit the nail on the head with the “face it mom, he’s hot” comment. She blushed at the memory.
Austin glanced at her as he was paying the check and smiled as he saw the red of her cheeks. “It’s a nice night. Do you feel like taking a walk?”
“Sure, that sounds nice,” she shyly nodded.
He helped her up and guided her to the door. “We’ll leave the truck here and come and get it when we’re finished. There’s an entrance to the park right down the block,” he motioned down the street.
“Ok, that sounds
