"It's a little awkward." He sat down next to me on his bed.

"Not really."

He scratched the back of his neck.

"We're both adults, Rory. It was just sex, after all."

"Right. What are you doing tonight?"

I held up the bra. "I'm going out, and I needed this because it's my nicest bra."

He laughed. "It is really nice."

I gulped. He's being flirtatious because that's who he is. He doesn't like you! I let my towel slide down slightly to reveal the top of my breasts. "You can come if you want."

"Where are you going?"

"There's this cool new bar that just opened up. You should invite your friends," I added.

"Okay."

"I'm going to go get ready. Thanks for my bra back. You're the best!" I pulled my towel back up enough to make the bottom of my ass show as I left the room.

Much better. I went back into my room and dropped the towel. Now I just needed to find a newly opened bar.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I had bought the leather leggings on a whim a few years ago, but I had never worn them. They looked great with the loose fitting tank top. I just hoped it was sexy enough for Rory. I slid on a pair of red stilettos to match my red lipstick.

When I walked out of my room, I was surprised to see Rory sitting at the kitchen counter staring at his phone. I had heard him talking earlier and assumed Connor and Jackson were already hanging out with him.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"They couldn't make it." He looked up and his eyes traveled down my legs.

That's right, son. I got legs for DAYS. "Oh. Do you want to just go a different night?"

"Nah, let's just go together."

Together. The sound of my heels clicking on the wooden floor helped to block out the sound of my heart beating so quickly. Is this a date? "Oh, fun! I can be your wingman!"

He stood up. He was wearing a pair of suit pants and a button up shirt. The top few buttons were undone. I had never seen him look sexier. Except for when he was fucking me. I bit my lip.

"Sure, sounds good," he said.

"Okay, let's go!" I almost screamed. Calm down. I walked past him and opened up the door. We made our way outside and started walking side by side down the street.

"So, what about you, Keira?"

"What about me?"

"Why aren't you dating anyone?"

"I think I kind of suck at dating." I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

Rory laughed. "And why do you think that?"

The sound of him laughing was so sexy.
