“I didn’t know you were attracted to me.”

“Bullshit,” he chided.

Finally, she gave him a half-smile. “Okay, maybe I thought you were a little. But I think I thought that I was just the first girl who hadn’t fallen at your feet and you were determined to figure out what that was about.”

He nodded slowly. Interesting that she’d realized that about him. “That was part of it. At first.”

“I knew it.”

“But just at first,” he said. “I’ve been thinking about you for six months.” He thought about his next words and decided that this confession was important. “I haven’t been with anyone since that crazy night when I made a total ass of myself with you and we had the most awkward non-kiss ever.”

She blushed, but still looked intrigued. “You haven’t?” she asked softly. “Really?”

“Really. And, trust me, that’s unusual.”

She arched an eyebrow. “Oh, I trust you on that.”

He chuckled. “You’re not my type. I didn’t even kiss you. But I can’t stop thinking about you. So I’m pretty glad you’re here and pretty glad you were hoping to see me.”

“You’re not my type either,” she said. But she sounded just puzzled by that. “But maybe that’s why I wanted to come and see if that feeling was still here.”

“What feeling?” His voice was a little gruff without him even trying.

“The feeling of I-want-more-of-that in spite of knowing that didn’t make any sense."
