stop staring into
his eyes. She was mesmerized and completely shocked that this was happening. He
smelled so good, and it felt unbelievable being wrapped in his arms as everyone
watched and the guys sang to them.
    When the song ended,
Karson stopped moving and slowly lifted his hands up to frame her face, his
eyes searching hers. Softly, he said, “I can’t sing for shit, but I will pay to
have someone sing to you. I don’t dance well, but I’ll do it just for the
chance to touch you. I’m not one to listen to guys sing to find the perfect
song for a girl, but I did for you. Most of all, I don’t usually pour my heart
out to a person in front of a full coffee shop because I’m not that much of a
romantic, but for you, I’d do it all. I’d do anything to be with you, and I’ve
waited for someone like you my whole life. It’s true, all of it, and I would be
the luckiest man in the world if you’d agree to go out on a date with me.
Please give me the chance to make you fall for me, like I have been falling
since the first moment I set eyes on you.”
    Never in her life had she
had someone so ruthlessly come after her. Her heart pounded in her chest as he
held her gaze. His eyes pleaded with her, begging for that chance. She wanted
to scream yes and never let go of him, but there was a part of her that had her
frozen with fear. “I’m terrified of you, Karson. You don’t know what you are
getting into. I’m just now picking up the pieces of my life. I can’t redo it
all when you run for the hills.”
    “I’m not going anywhere,
Lacey. I’m here. I’m yours. Just give me the chance.”
    Biting into the inside of
her cheek so hard it hurt, she closed her eyes as she leaned her forehead
against his lips, taking in a deep breath. She was given a second chance at
life to live it, not to hide. She had to live her life to the fullest, and a
part of her knew that she wouldn’t be living if Karson weren’t a part of her
life. Yes, she was terrified, and yes, there was a chance that he would
completely break her, but she couldn’t help but try. She didn’t care how crazy
it was. She felt the same thing he did. So she slowly nodded, as she looked
back up into the caramel eyes she craved to look into daily.
    A grin came over his lips,
and she returned it before whispering, “Yes.”

    Karson wasn’t sure who
moved first but the next thing he knew, he was wrapped up in Lacey’s arms,
kissing her so hard that he couldn’t breathe. Not that he wanted to. All he
wanted was to kiss her for the rest of his life. As his mouth moved with hers,
he knew this was it for him, and he didn’t plan on ever letting her go.
Deepening the kiss, his tongue moved with hers in the most delicious way,
causing the passion in him to rise. Holding her close, he separated only an
inch to look deep into her eyes.
    Into his heaven.
    “As much as I don’t want
to let you go, I have to pay these guys, so one second,” he said with a quick
grin, reluctantly letting her go to pull some twenties out of his pocket.
Thankfully, they had turned the lights back on, and everyone went back to doing
what they were doing before Karson turned into a completely pussy and serenaded
her. While he knew that he was going to get shit for it at practice tomorrow,
he couldn’t muster up anything to care. All he cared about was making Lacey
happy, and he thought he succeeded pretty damn well.
    “Great job, guys,” he
said, before handing them money. They all grinned before heading off, leaving
him with Lacey. Turning, he smiled at her before taking her hand in his. “What
are your plans tonight?”
    She smiled as she laced
her fingers with his. “I need to study.”
    “Wanna get some dinner
first?”
    “Is this the date you
spoke of?”
    “Yeah, one of many to
come. Can I please steal you away from studying? I know that’s bad, but I
really can’t imagine leaving you after all this.”
    A grin pulled at her lips
as she said, “Yeah,
