“You’ll be fine. No need to be nervous.”
I scoffed. I had every right to be nervous. I was about to go on a datewith Holly fucking Sutton. “Thanks for the pep talk.”
“Are you nervous?”
“I’m gonna mess it up somehow.” I tugged at my sleeves some more, my fingers tight on the material. “I don’t know how, but I will, and then this whole thing will blow up in my fucking face. I’m lucky this is even happening. That Holly even makeseyecontactwith me. I don’t know how I managed to land a date with her.”
Brodie slapped a hand to my shoulder. “Because she likes you. Duh. You think she’d be going on this date with you if she didn’t have feelings for you? You’ll be okay. She likes you and you like her.”
“Too bad her parents don’t feel the same way,” I muttered. “Gotta park my truck halfway down the fuckin’ street tonight.”
“Girls dig bad boys. It’s probably fun for her.”
“Yeah, until her dad finds out and grabs his shotgun.”
“He’s got a shotgun?”
“I assume he does.”
“You’re not scared of him, are you?” Brodie laughed.
“Me? No. Holly? Maybe...”
“Well, most dads wouldn’t want their daughters running around with Sawyer Westbrook.”
“Well, that fucking sucks for him.” I pulled at my collar, trying to make the shirt feel as comfortable as possible. I wasn’t afraid of Holly’s dad. I was ready to shove it in his face, ‘cause I knew exactly what the guy would say if he knew what was going on with me and his daughter. Too bad for him, though, because Holly was all mine tonight.
Turning around, I watched Brodie as he nodded at me, giving me a look of approval.
“What time do you have to have Holly home by?” he asked.
“Eleven.”
“Are youplanningon having her home by that time?”
I smirked at him. “We’ll see.”

Like me and Holly agreed to earlier, I parked my truck halfway down the road. I wasn’t sure what excuse Holly was going to give as to why her ride wasn’t showing up in her driveway, but I wasn’t too worried. She was creative. She’d think of something.
My fingers were tapping on the steering wheel, the nerves in my stomach doubling by the second. I couldn’t wait to see Holly. The thought of her smiling face was enough to make me break out into a grin. Funny how quickly things had changed for us. This time last year I couldn’t stand her. God, Ihatedher. And now…
Now I was looking into my rearview mirror, watching as Holly approached my truck with quick steps. I spied her sweet face in the mirror and her little smile that made my heart fucking soar right into the sky. My door was already unlocked as she pulled it open and sat inside.
I turned to her, instantly reaching over and pulling her into a kiss. She sighed against my lips, her fingers raking through my hair. She made the prettiest noise as I pushed my tongue into her mouth, my hand on her waist.
“Missed you so much, Holly,” I murmured against her lips.
She giggled, her hands lowering from my hair to my shoulders. “I missed you too. Thanks for picking me up.”
My eyes lowered, my tongue running over my lips as I took in what she was wearing. A pretty, blue and white floral dress. The way she was sitting meant that her dress had hiked up a bit, revealing her smooth thighs that I wanted to grab so bad. My gaze went from her thighs and up past her waist, until I was looking at her covered up breasts. What I would do to see them all bare for me…
“What are you staring at?” she asked, her voice playful.
I looked back up at her face. At her big eyes and pouty lips and red cheeks. God, she was so fucking pretty.
“You look gorgeous,” I said lowly. “And I’m happy I get you all to myself tonight.”
