Back when Ben and I had dated, he never said such things. In fact, he always made it seem like spending time with me was a chore.

ME

Crap. Was that too flirty?
Jameson
Good : ) I’m looking forward to our next date.
My breath caught in my throat. Somehow, I had already forgotten I still had to go on two more dates with him. And based on the slight fluttering in my stomach over a simple text conversation, I’d really have to work to keep my walls up.
I would not, could not, let myself fall for Jameson Beck.
I typed a quick reply.
ME
When might that be?
Jameson
Soon : )
Me
That’s not very helpful : )
Crap. Why did I send that smiley? That wasdefinitelyflirty.
Jameson

Me
Well, you hit the nail on the head.
Jameson
It’ll be soon, I promise. I’m excited to see you again.
Ooooh. He likes you,Smitten Elsie crooned in my head. Smart Elsie scoffed.
