It went somewhere else.

Someone else.

Ever.

It had been two days since she’d been in my garage.

Two days since I’d watched her drive away and realized I wasn’t done with that.

Two days of knowing something I hadn’t known before.

That she had liked me.For years.

I still didn’t know how I’d missed that.Didn’t know how something that obvious to everyone else had gone completely under my radar.

But now that I knew?

Yeah.

That changed things.

A lot.

I adjusted my grip on the handlebars, staring straight ahead.

She didn’t have a boyfriend.Not really.She’d said it herself, and that mattered.

I kicked the bike to life, the engine roaring under me as it settled into that familiar rhythm.

The vibration ran up through my hands and through my body.

I knew exactly where I was going.

I pulled out of the lot and hit the road, the wind picking up as I picked up speed.

There was only one thing on my mind.One thing that had been sitting there since I walked out of that garage.

A thick chocolate milkshake.

Not just any milkshake.

One made by her.

I smirked to myself as I rode.

Fifty free milkshakes.

Best deal I’d ever made and I planned on collecting.

Chapter Seventeen

Ever

Ten minutes.

That was all that stood between me and locking the door, shutting off the lights, and calling it a night.

Ten minutes that felt like an hour.
