“You’re such a dork. Don’t get too excited. One is all you’re getting for now.”
“I heard you. Saturday. I’ll cook something.”
“Good God,” he groans, tipping his head back, flashing that lean golden neck again like he’s trying to kill me. Death by gorgeously sexy neck.
I laugh. “What?”
“You don’t even cook, Caleb.”
“I cook,” I protest, but he’s right; I can’t cook for shit. I can learn, though. It’s only Tuesday. I can fucking learn how to cook by Saturday. I’m going to woo him with my culinary skills. “Just you wait and see. I’m going to blow you away, Kayden Somner.”
Kayden just smiles even wider, and now it does reach his eyes. He’s so gorgeous it steals the air right out of my lungs. And the best thing: I put it there, the smile. How about that? Yeah, I’ve got this.
“More like blow up your kitchen,” he teases.
I clutch my chest. “Brutal, baby. Don’t you have any faith in me?”
He pinches his index finger and thumb together. “Only a little.”
“So, room for improvement is what you’re saying?”
“In some areas,” he breathes, his eyes darkening, and Saturday just can’t come fast enough.
Chapter Thirteen
Kayden
Ichange my outfit for the umpteenth time, then send Emily another selfie.
How about this?
Em:I can’t tell anymore! Just wear something already!
I stare at my reflection, trying to imagine what Caleb will think when he sees me. I don’t want to look too young, but then again, I am. Younger, at least. By eighteen years. And Caleb knows that I am. I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard either. I bury my face in my hands and groan. Ugh, why is this so fucking hard?
My phone pings again, and I pick it up from the dresser.
Em:Just wear the lavender shirt. It’ll make your eyes pop, and Caleb will blow in his pants within seconds
I snort, my fingers shaking as I type.
Fuck off, you ho
Em:Do it and leave me the fuck alone! My lab partners are getting impatient. We have an assignment due
You probably have a hot date yourself. How’s Derek?
Derek is Emily’s latest fling. They met at a lacrosse game and have been hooking up for the past few weeks.
Em:Still hot as sin but boring in bed. I keep waiting for him to have a sexual epiphany
I can hear the groan.
A sexual epiphany? Are you for real?
Em:Okay, enough about me. Back to you. Wear the lavender shirt and roll up the sleeves to your elbows
Why?
