Connor suddenly reached out and touched the side of my face with his finger, right near my eye. “You have the most beautiful eyes,” he said softly, and I nearly melted.
“I’m not going to sleep with you,” I said softly, feeling the need to clarify that point.
“I’m not asking you to,” he said, tilting his head down slightly. Ever so gently, he pressed his lips to mine.
I’d do anything for someone I love,” I said simply.
Monica AlexanderI disarmed you with my smile?” I called out when he was a few feet from me, raising my eyebrows.
He turned and smirked at me. “You sure did.”
“You totally snaked that from a Smashing Pumpkins song,” I said, shaking my head.
“The fact that you know that is incredibly sexy.”
“I told you, I’m not like most girls.
I remember you – thirty percent off boardshorts,” he said, smirking slightly. I couldn’t believe he remembered that. It had been weeks ago.
“They’re down to fifty percent off now,” I said. “If you want a deal, there are still some left.”
I wanted to smack myself in the head. I could not believe I was flirting by talking about a sale at work. I was a conversational moron.
Then all of a sudden, his hazel eyes penetrated me in a way that succeeded in melting away my anger. My heartbeat quickened and my adrenaline pumped but in a different way than it had been a few minutes earlier. Suddenly it was like I forgot how to form words. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.
Monica AlexanderI rolled my eyes at his exuberance. “I have an older brother,” I said. “He got all the sports knowledge. I learned how to bake cookies.
Monica AlexanderConnor,” I murmured, not sure what to say to him. We were crossing into dangerous territory, and we both knew it.
“I don’t think you understand how much I count on you, Abby, how much I need you, and how much I care about our friendship. You’re so important to me.”
I didn’t have an opportunity to respond. Before I knew what was happening, he was kissing me, and I was kissing him back, and it was everything I’d imagined it would be when I envisioned us kissing a thousand times.
You’re the kind of girl I could fall in love with,” he whispered, so softly that I almost didn’t hear him. His lips caught mine again before I could respond.
Monica AlexanderYou do realize fairytales are bullshit,” he said.
Monica AlexanderThat is beside the point,” I said, not giving him the satisfaction that he was right about anything, especially that I wanted to kiss him, although now that he brought it up, I was thinking about it. His kissable lips were very close to mine.
