the forehead! Couldn’t
he just go a little lower? “I’ll call you
later, Jennifer.” He smiled and turned walking back to his
car.
    He flashed me his seductive smile
before driving away.
    A few moments later I saw the black
SUV pass by. I was glad he was safe.
    I opened the door, quickly
closed it and sunk down to the carpet, landing on my butt. Why did
he take my breath away? He was a drug to me; I had to have him
around .

Chapter Four
     
    I woke up to Kennedy yelling my name.
I looked at my alarm, 6:30 p.m. I ran downstairs to Kennedy who was
signing her name on a paper and being handed a huge bouquet of
flowers. There were roses, and tulips, and dandy lions... I just
stood there amazed by them.
    “ Are you going to come get
your flowers or what?” Kennedy said, staring at me. Did she
say my flowers?
    “ What….?” I grabbed the
flowers and set them down on the bar.
    “ Who the hell sent these?”
Kennedy asked, searching the flowers for the card. When she found
it she pulled it open and looked at it. Her face suddenly went to a
smile and she handed me the card.
     
    “ Can’t stop thinking about
you
    Hope these aren’t too
much.
    Looking forward to seeing
you again.
    ~Stefan”
     
    I blushed and placed the card down by
the flowers.
    “ Oh no, you’re getting in
too deep with him,” Kennedy said in a mocking tone. “What all
happened?”
    “ Nothing happened, not
really. We just went for coffee this morning. That’s it.” I walked
away, signaling I was done with the conversation.
    “ I’m not done with this,
Jennifer Rene!” Kennedy shouted at me. I smiled and made my way to
my room. Laying down on my bed, I couldn’t wipe the stupid smile
from my face. I heard my phone buzz and grabbed it off my night
stand. It was a text from a number I didn’t recognize. My heart
suddenly fell into my chest as I realized who it was.
     
    *hello beautiful. How did
you like your gift?*
     
    I smiled even bigger.
     
    *I’m sorry, who is this?
It’s hard to remember who
    is who around
here.*
     
    I sent the message, but regretted it
as soon as I hit send.
     
    *I am going to assume
you’re kidding…*
     
    Just answer his damn
questions Jennifer, stop trying to be a smart ass.
     
    *Yes, I was kidding,
sorry. I love my flowers, thank you
    So much! You didn’t have
to do that!*
     
    *It was the least I could
do. I can’t stop thinking
    about today. Being in the
coffee shop with you.
    And the car…*
     
    My cheeks flammed red; he
was thinking about me not anyone else, but me . I loved that thought.
     
    *Me too. I had a lot of
fun. Thank you again (:*
     
    *Can I take you on a date
tonight? Just the two of us?*
     
    Did he just ask me out on a
date? Do you even have to ask? Play it cool Jen, play it cool.
     
    *I am not sure if I am
free. I will have to check
    My calendar. Please
hold.*
     
    I waited a couple of minutes; no
response. Crap! He’s probably pissed. Shit! Okay,
think…..
     
    *Jus t checked, I am free tonight. Last
minute
    Cancellation.
(:*
     
    *Great, I will pick you up
at 8?*
     
    *I’ll be
waiting…*
     
    I threw my phone on the bed. I’ll be
waiting…….what the hell was that? I ran downstairs; Kennedy was on
the phone with Ayden. She noticed my silly smile and perky self so
she quickly ended the conversation with Ayden and hung up, eyeing
me.
    “ Why are you so
happy?”
    “ I’m going out with Stefan
tonight; I won’t be out late. I have class tomorrow, but I just
wanted to let you know.” I ran back upstairs to start getting
ready.
    At ten minutes to 8, I walked down the
stairs wearing a red dress that hugged me in all the right places.
It came to my upper thighs and had a V neck that showed off the
only diamond necklace I owned. I paired the dress with a pair of
black pumps. I had my hair down and curled in loose curls, and had
on a little more make up than I usually wore. Kennedy about dropped
her water when she saw me. I smiled and headed for the door.
Kennedy walked into
