    Gunner has never once asked for rent from Jefferson. They just split the rest of the bills. The only problem with this place was…..it was for sure a bachelor’s pad. The few times I had been there I noticed all the football and Arc hitectural stuff everywhere. I’ m still amazed that both Gunner and Jefferson had decided to major in th e same field. It’ s no wonder they became best friends. They both loved football and Architecture and football .
    We turned down Avenue F and my heart started to pound so loud and fast I was sure Jefferso n and Gunner could hear it. Je fferson pulle d up and parked next to what I’ m guessing was Gunner’s truck . It was an older model F250 beige truck. What was it wi th Texas boys and their trucks?
    “Is that your truck Gunner?” Regretting it the minute it came out of my mouth. I mean come on Ellie , who else’s truck would it be?
    “Yep! That’ s my girl! My G ramps gave her to me when I got accepte d into UT. S he’ s a 1998 F250 that was used on the ranch but , she has never failed me yet. ” Gunner said jumping out of the truck and opening my door for me.
    Hmm , manners, good lo ok ing and a rocking body. Yeah this guy is too good to be true. I would do go od to keep telling myself that.
    “You refer to your truck as a girl?” I lo ok ed over at the truck and back at Gunner. OHHH mistake…there was that damn smile again . Wait? When did it go cro ok ed ? Maybe it was just the way he was smiling right now. I don’t think I wou ld have missed that….would I? My head was spinning and my hand was throbbin g. Good lord I’ m so fucked with this guy.
    Gunner let out another one of those laughs that made me go all J ello on the inside . SHIT! I should have just taken my cha nces with my mother.
    “Yes, Ellie I refer to her as my girl. This way I know the only way my heart will ever get br ok en is if she breaks down on the side of the road and leaves me stranded . ” He said as he gave me a wink.
    Holy hell this guy was killing me , what a flirt ! Okay ….I can play this game! I dug down deep and pulled out my sexiest voice……
    “Well…… I’ m sure your heart is safe then….aren’t Fords pretty reliable ? I mean , I would hate to think of your heart being br ok en . It would just make me all sad. ” I said as I lo ok ed up at him through my eye lashes. His cro ok ed smile got even bigger and for a moment he lo ok ed like he wanted to kiss me.
    My heart started to pound even harder …holy fuck…was eighteen too young to be having a heart attack? I mean what the hell else was this?!
    “Gunner!” Jefferson called out and snapped me out of my moment of weakness and I spun around to lo ok at my brother who was holding my overnight bag and giving both of us a curious lo ok .
    “Dude , can I talk to you for a minute?”
    OH . MY . GOD…what was I doing? I just flirted with my brother’s best friend , in FRONT of my brother and now he was going to chew his ass out . O r worse….beat the shit out of him!
    Oh great! T here goes my party Saturday night. FUCK ME!
    “Hey Ell s you mind heading in and I’ ll bring your bag to my bedroom?” Jefferson asked as I slowly started to walk towards him.
    “U mm , yeah sure no problem but, um is everything okay ?”
    “Of course it is honey; I just need to ask Gunner to do me a fav or.” Jefferson said as he pushed me up the stairs of the front porch. I turned back arou nd and watched as Gunner ran his hands through his beautiful messy hair while he walked up to Jefferson. Oh how I would love to run my hands through his hair. I He to ok one lo ok up at me and smiled. I felt my lower lip going numb and realized I was biting the shit out of it.
    I turned back towards the door and opened it. As soon as I walked in I had to smile. I t smelled just like Jefferson in here . And it smelled just like …….. Gunner…….oh yeah….
    I was fucked for sure.
