Who would have thought it would be so hard to walk away from her.

Chapter 10

Keaton: Happy Halloween

Me: Happy Halloween. What are you going to dress up as?

Keaton: You up for an adventure?

Me: Maybe…

Keaton: Do you trust me?

Me: Yes…

Keaton: The rose in your locker is from me. I’ll explain later. I’ll pick you up at 8.

Ithought Keaton’s messages this morning were vague at best, but sure enough, by the end of the day, I had a black rose in my locker.

“Did you get a rose?” Tinsley asks while skipping towards me with her own black rose in hand.

“I did.” I hold it out for her to see. “Why Keaton would leave me a black rose is beyond me though.”

“It will make sense soon enough.”

My phone vibrates in my hand, and I look down at the screen.

Keaton: I left a gift in your car for you. Make sure you wear it tonight.

“What the hell is going on?” I whisper to Tinsley while showing her my phone.

“It will make sense to you later, I promise. Just go with it.” She squeezes my shoulder.

“If you say so,” I tell her before parting ways.

I drive home on autopilot. Once home, I grab the mystery bag and my school bag and run up to my room and change into some active wear to get a quick workout in on the silks. I set a timer before starting and get lost in the music. My fluidity is becoming smoother the longer I practice, and I’m honestly falling in love with the activity.

Afterward, I rush up to my room and take a quick shower. I’m standing in my closet, trying to decide what to wear, when I remember Keaton ask for me to wear what he bought. I walk to the bag on my bed, open it slowly, and gasp when I see what’s inside. I pull out the prettiest set of lingerie I have ever seen. It’s a dark green push-up bra with lace over top, but the straps are unlike any I’ve seen before. Instead of traditional straps on the slide closest to the armpit, this has a strap on the inside of the cup that runs above my boob and meets the other and turns into one strap that then goes to the back of the bra. The panties are a dark green with straps that cross in the back and sit high on the hips but cover my butt completely. This is something I would buy myself.

“Why would he buy me this?” I look at the sizes, and sure enough, he bought me the right sizes. “How did he know?” I slip them on and love the way they feel against my skin. I skip into my closet and pull on a little black dress and some thigh-high black boots. I skip back into the bathroom todo my makeup a little heavier than normal and put my choker on.

“All I’m missing is a stake....” I sigh.

I make my way downstairs and slide into the kitchen.

“Well, look at you!” my mom gushes.

“And who are you supposed to be?” Dad asks with a raised brow.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I figured it might keep me safe tonight.” I shrug, making both my parents laugh. “All I’m missing is a wooden stake.” I laugh with them.

“Well, I’m sure we can find you something,” my mom says after she controls her laughter. Dad gets up and looks around the house for something I can use while I talk to Mom. The doorbell rings, and I follow Mom to the door. She opens the door, revealing Keaton standing there in all his dark-haired glory dressed in black slacks and a black-collared shirt.

“And who are you supposed to be tonight, young man?” Mom teases.
