Finding Peace (Finding Series Book 1) by K. J. Love Read Free Book Online Page A

delicious shade of pink that almost matches that pink tank top, that's killing me. Just then I get an idea.
    I turn and walk back to the juke box and choose a new popular song that all the girls seem to be crazy about right now.
    “What are you doing? I thought you were going to talk to her.”
    “I’ve got a better idea. Just watch and learn.”
    Max shakes his head. “Oh, this should be good.”
    We walk back to the pool tables as the music to ‘Lost in Your Eyes’ by Debbie Gibson starts to play. She’s staring at me trying to figure out what I’m doing. I stop right in front of her, lean in close and whisper in her ear. “Just remember you’re forcing me to do this.” She looks even more confused now.
    Jumping up on the pool table, I start to sing along with Debbie. Actually, I must confess, this is a stroke of pure genius. With a look down at Kayla, I decide to change the words up just for her.
    “I get lost in Kayla’s eyes. And I feel my spirits rise. And soar like the wind. Is it love that I am in? I get weak in a glance. Isn’t this what’s called romance. And now I know. Cause when I’m lost I can’t let go.”
    I’m singing right to her and her whole face and neck are now blushing. She is pleading with me to please get down. Everyone has stopped what they are doing and she is trying to hide her face. I think she might bolt in a moment.
    I stop singing and squat down so I know that she can hear me. The place has exploded with conversations, cat calls, and some clapping.
    “Are you going to talk to me?”
    She puts her head down and shakes her head no. She won’t look at me.
    “Okay. I’ll just keep singing then.” I move to stand back up.
    She looks at me and she is trying hard not to smile. She starts waving her hands. “No! No more. Please.”
    “So you’ll talk to me? I just want to talk to you.”
    She takes a deep breath and looks up at me with those crystal green eyes and I think my heart stops. Swallowing hard, I hold my breath as I wait for her answer.
    “Yes, just talk. If you’ll get down and stop singing. I’ll talk to you.”
    Thank God. I smile at her and she closes her eyes and puts her hand up to her forehead.
    “Okay.” I jump down and extend my hand to her. “Hi, I’m Blake McGinnis and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
    She extends her tiny hand and places it in mine. When I close my hand around hers, I lose all train of thought. There’s an almost electrical current like feel that is flowing between us right now and it feels amazing.
    “Hi. My name is Kayla and I’m not so sure it’s a pleasure to meet you yet. You just completely embarrassed me.”
    I shake my head yes and then shrug. “You kind of forced me to take drastic measures.”
    That causes her to give me a full smile that lights up her whole face. Yes, I have to get to know this girl. Realizing that I’m still holding her hand, I release it and run my hands through my hair. The feel of that electrical current is still between us. This is going to be fun. I just have to get her to let her guard down and get her to admit that she is interested in getting to know me better. It’s going to happen. This I am sure of.
     
     

Chapter 6
    Kayla
     
     
    I watch as Max and Blake talk to each other. They keep glancing this way. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to like what they are saying. I can’t let this guy get to me. It’s not possible right now. Maybe if this was happening a few months from now, things could be different. I see Blake hit Max in the arm. He doesn’t look too happy with his friend at the moment.
    Just then Blake looks at me and gives me a look that says he’s questioning my reaction to his ‘invitation’ to come and meet him. Cocky much? I shrug at him. This just causes him to smile more. And then he gives me a look that makes me weak in the knees. Feeling as if I'm going to fall, I grab hold of Tessa's arm. She has been looking back and forth between me and Blake through all of
