Are you a blogger? -- SNEAK PEEK: “I’m looking forward to the summer being over,” he said, but his statement confused me. I was disoriented by his placement and my hands in his, and wondering why he’d ever want this summer to end. Jack had it better than the rest of us. “Why?” finally came out of my mouth when I was able to draw my gaze away from our hands and look him in the eye. “Because I’m going to take you out on a proper date.” I didn’t say a word, but my heart raced near the surface of my chest. “I want to take you out to dinner and then take you to bed.” My breath caught. I lingered on the possibility of both those things. “What if I’m not tired?” Jack’s smile was devious. “And it’ll be so good, you’ll beg me to be with you for the rest of our lives.” I loved him even more for not giving up on me weeks ago when anyone else would have. “Why do you keep trying?” “Because you’re worth it. I can feel it. We’re going to be great together. You just have to let me in.” I started to pull my hands away, but Jack tightened his grip. “Why does that scare you?” “It doesn’t.” I was honest. His words didn’t scare me. “It’s just what I do.” He released my hands. “Pull away?” “Pretty much.” I kept my sight steady on him. The breeze blew around us, swirling our towels against our sides. “It’s rarely necessary, though. No one usually gets as close as you have.” I swallowed down the realization of how close he was. “I’m special.” “You are.” The words croaked out as if saying them was choking me. I was done lying to him.
