"Are you busy on Tuesday night?" Awsten asked me as we turned into my apartment complex.

"Sounds like I am now." I grinned. "Whatcha thinking?"

"Want to have dinner with me?"

"Yeah, I'd like that a lot."

"Also we could do an escape room after? Do you like escape rooms?"

"Yeah! They're so fun! I haven't done one in a while. What kind of food are you thinking? What's your favorite?"

"Well my favorite is Thai food...but I was thinking sushi. Do you like sushi? I know some people are weird about it."

"I love all Asian food and I do not discriminate. I'm a big sushi fan."

"Great." He grinned. "I had a really great time with you today."

"Me too." I laughed a little as my stomach twisted. "Thank you for breakfast."

"You're very welcome...See you Tuesday?"

"Yeah, see you Tuesday." He grinned, and I went to get out his car but he stopped me.

"Wait." He caught my arm, then slipped his other hand on my face.

"Hmm?" I hummed, lifting my eyes to his.

"I just wanted to kiss you goodbye."

"I'm not going to stop you." I quipped softly and leaned in a little more.

My heart was going to jump out of my chest.

He inched closer, his eyes falling to my lips again right before he connected our lips again.

I melted into him and slid one hand up from his chest and onto his neck.

The kiss was just as good as before - maybe better. I forgot how to breathe. I forgot everything.

Everything in me lit up like fireworks. My mind flashed to the first time I saw him, through the events of last night, and now this morning.

I'm so fucked.

But I did not stop kissing him. There we were in his car just macking away like a couple of teenagers.

Maybe this is what it's supposed to be like.

Or I am totally setting myself up for heartbreak all over again...and I can't go back to that place.

Instead my mind kicked back again to hearing Francesca telling me he had asked about me...and back to that day in the offices when I saw him.

Something I wondered if the two of us would ever talk about more.

And just like that the kiss was over.

"That was a nice goodbye kiss." I said as we pulled away, nuzzling my nose against his while I caught my breath. "So...I will see you Tuesday."

"Yeah." He laughed a little. I could hear him catching his breath too.

"Text me when you get home? So I know you made it back?"

"I will."

There was that cute little grin again.

I leaned back in and kissed him again, only giving it a few seconds for him to kiss me back before I pulled away and got my bag.

"Bye, Awsten."
