“Okay.
All right. This can be managed. It can. I can manage this,” says Haley. “This
is entirely under my control. I can own this situation.”
“I
don’t need to be managed.”
Haley
tosses me an are-you-for-real gaze and her hair tumbles over her shoulder. It’s
shiny and I bet if I ran my fingers through it, the strands would feel like
silk. I like hair like that. I like kissing girls who have hair like that. My
eyes flash to her lips and the memory of her stepping into me on Friday night
sizzles in my mind: the walking, talking inferno. Kissing Haley would be a
thrill ride experience.
“West?”
Haley motions near her eyes. “Attention here, please?”
“I
wasn’t checking out your curves.” Though now that it’s mentioned…
“Go
there and I swear to God you’ll have to check ‘other’ when asked if you’re male
or female.”
I
chuckle and rest my palm against the cool cinder block wall, crowding her.
Haley shifts and practically shrinks into the corner. She’s shorter than me,
but not by much. I’d say she was afraid, but the way she studies my biceps
tells me differently.
“Haley?”
She refocuses on my face. “Eyes up here please.”
Gaped.
Open. Mouth. “Okay, look. Me and you. We’ve got problems.”
I
agree. She wants to kiss me. I want her body underneath mine. Nothing a dark
room and a bed couldn’t solve. “What are you doing after school?”
“What?
No. Don’t tell me. I don’t care. Back to problems. Those guys that jumped us on
Friday?”
My
hand slips off the wall and I straighten. “Yeah?”
“They
go to school here and I’m not exactly their best friend.”
