— Sympa. (Je ris et bus à mon tour. Plusieurs minutes s’écoulèrent avant que je reprenne la parole :) Je lui ai proposé un rencard.

Cette nouvelle ne parut pas émouvoir Jase plus que cela.

— Cool.

— Elle a refusé.

Il tourna vivement la tête vers moi. Ses yeux gris avaient pris un éclat amusé.

— Quoi ?

— Hé oui. (Je me laissai tomber en arrière en souriant.) Elle a refusé sans ménagement.

Appuyé contre l’accoudoir du canapé, Jase rit si fort qu'il devait avoir mal au ventre.

— Elle me plaît.

— À moi aussi, murmurai-je en soupirant. À moi aussi.

"You mean everything to me."

I stared at the message for probably what was too long. My heart was pounding and warmth flooded my veins- I smiled like I'd just been handed a million dolars. And that was before i even saw the tickets.

In that moment, I realized I was seeing a very different side of Avery. One I’d never seen before, where she was lively and carefree, and fucking perfect. “I’m going to marry that girl one day,” I heard myself say.

“I asked her out.” Jase didn’t look that interested. “Okay.” “She turned me down.” His head swung toward me, his dove-gray eyes sparkling with interest. “What?” “Yep.” I fell back into the couch, grinning. “Turned me down flat.” Leaning onto the arm of the couch, Jase laughed so hard I think he hurt his stomach. “I like this girl.” “So do I,” I said, sighing. “So do I.”

I asked Avery out at least twice a week. Each time, she said no and each time, I became even more determined. At some point in the middle of astronomy, as she hastily took notes, and I sketched the Winchesters’ Chevy Impala, I recognized that the whole challenge aspect of this chase was no longer really in the equation.

“Go out with me.” “No,” she whispered. I grinned slightly, and her chest fell, her shoulders relaxed, as if she needed to hear this. “There’s always tomorrow.” She followed me up the stairs. “Tomorrow’s not going to change anything.” “We’ll see.” “There’s nothing to see. You’re wasting your time.” “When it concerns you, it’s never a waste of my time.” And that was the damn truth.

With my empty hand, I smoothed my thumb along her bottom lip. A jolt of something zinged up my arm and went straight to my cock. She stilled, her chest rising sharply and eyes widening. My hand lingered longer than it should have, but not as long as I wanted. Her lip was soft under my finger, her chin smooth against my palm. I forced myself to pull away. There hadn’t been a damn crumb on her lip. I was a liar. But I wanted to touch her. “Got it.” I smiled. She looked flustered. Not upset

I was glad she was asleep, because the thought of her knowing how badly my hands shook would probably have been embarrassing as hell. Boy, they were trembling too, like I’d never touched a girl before.

I don’t know what it was about her, maybe it was everything, but it had never felt this good before, this strong and intense with anyone else.
