“And it’s a secret date. The whole bloody system is out of whack!”
“You’re jelly.”
Her jaw drops. “No, I’m not.”
“You’re jellier than a slice of toast.”
“Ugh, don’t mention carbs right now. I’m in a very weak state.”
I chuckle. “Okay.”
She lounges on her elbow. “But since we’re already there, where’s he taking you for dinner?” she asks.
“Well, we talked about that.” I forcefully pivot to the side to check the sway of my knee-length skirt. “We wanted somewhere nice, but casual, with a semi-romantic atmosphere, but not too quiet so we can comfortably talk, and delicious food, but not too messy or filling.”
“And?” Jenna asks, already bored.
“Sushi.”
She perks up. “Ah!”
“Drew knows a place with one of those cute floating sushi bars. A real hole-in-the-wall hidden gem, he says.”
“With bonus points for being far from campus, I assume?”
“Completely out of range of Seth, who is confirmed going to be at the Beta Kappa party tonight, so we should be all clear.”
Jenna smirks. “Look at you. Look at you.”
I blush. “Stop it.”
“Getting a taste of that sweet, delicious karma.”
“This isn’t about that,” I say. “I really like Drew.”
“Who wouldn’t? He’s hot.”
“The last thing we want is for anyone to get hurt.”
“Noble.”
“That’s why we’re taking this slow,” I say. “A super casual first date where we can talk and see if there’s anything there. If there’s not, then no harm done. Easy exit routes for all.”
“But if there is something there?”
“Then…” I shrug. “I don’t know.”
“I do!”
“You do?”
“Then, it’s the good stuff.”
“The good stuff?” I repeat.
“It’s sneaking a kiss when you think no one’s looking,” she says. “It’s keeping the back door unlocked for easy access when he parks two blocks away and sneaks through backyards to get to you under cover of darkness.” She shudders. “I should call Embry.”
“Please don’t do that.”
