The embarrassment of being the only “un-kissed” girl in senior high is something Sandy Cardington refuses to accept. The first kiss project is her foolproof plan to finally get rid of the status at her birthday party while her parents are out of town.
With several kissable boys on her guest list, this should be a walk in the park. But she didn’t reckon on her older brother returning from college days before her 17th birthday, putting a spoke in her plans. To make matters even more complicated, he has a friend in tow, and the cute hockey player stirs unexpected butterflies in her stomach every time their paths cross.
EXCERPT:
“Since you’re up anyway, do you have any plans for today?” Thane asks quite
casually again as he moves closer and grabs the jar. I can feel his chest
gently aligned to my side. Sinking into the shelter of his body, I drown in
yet another cloud of melting-snow scent. Boy! How can somebody smell so good
and not be turned into a brand of perfume?
“I’m meeting up with Adrian after lunch,” I answer in a surprisingly shy
voice, turning my head just slightly so I can look at him around my
upstretched arm.
“That means I could borrow you until…let’s say noon?”
“Why?” For heaven’s sake!
As I lower to my feet, we both bring down our arms slowly, then Thane
passes me the raspberry jam. “Because that’s probably how long your brother
will sleep.”
True. Hang a half-naked girl on a swing frame in front of
his window, and he’ll be up in a flash. But that’s not what I meant.
I drag my eyebrows down a little, trying to understand. “No. I mean,
why borrow me?”
Thane shrugs, and it seems this is the on-switch for his
pretty-please-smile. “Because I’d love to see a little more of this town,
and you’d surely make a great tour guide.”
Scrunching my face as I uncap the jar, I study him from the corner of my
eye. “You wanna go sightseeing?” This is Oakspeak, for goodness’ sake. We’ve
got exactly one town hall and a slowly declining train station. That’s it.
“I don’t want to disappoint you, but there’s really not much to see.”
“It’s either sightseeing or hanging out on the couch doing nothing until
your brother returns from the dead,” he says, leaving my side and heading
around the kitchen island. But then he grins at me over his shoulder. “I
don’t think you could disappoint me.”
I believe it’s only because of the warm feeling he gives me that I murmur,
“Okay…”
Thane takes a seat on one of the barstools, an even more hopeful look on
his face than before. “Could I get some sugar for my coffee, please?” He
looks like the cutest little boy asking for presents when he doesn’t know
whether it’s already Christmas or not.
My cheeks crinkle with a rising smile. “You know what?” I take a seat next
to him. “Since you’re going to live here for the next few days, I guess it’s
okay you feel at home. Sugar is in that cupboard, yellow bowl.” I point to
the one above the coffee machine. “And when you’re hungry, just come down
and grab whatever you want yourself.”
His black eyebrows knit together. “Without asking?”
I bite the corner of one toast. “Mm-hmm.”
“Really? You mean everything?”
“Yes, I mean everything,” I assure him, laughing now while I chew. “Except
my Oreos. If you want to live, don’t touch them.” This is a warning he
should take very seriously. I’m addicted to the cookies.
As his gaze drops to my body and rises within a millisecond, I roll my eyes
because I realize I ran right into that one. To his credit, he holds back
his gamy smirk ninety percent. “Got it. Can eat everything. No Oreos.”
Leaving his mug on the counter, he slides from the stool and grabs the sugar
bowl. After he comes back, now standing beside me, he adds a careful
spoonful of sugar to his brew then reaches over and snags my untouched
second slice of toast.
My eyes widen in sharp protest. “Hey!”
“What? You said everything.”
And there’s that dimple again on his left cheek. With a shower of mischief
in his star-blue eyes, he arches his brows and takes a bite from the toast.
Then he leans in really close, keeping our gazes locked with his intense
stare. “Be thankful that I didn’t eat the Milky Way.”
About Anna Katmore:
"I'm writing stories because I can't breathe without."
Anna Katmore lives in an enchanting world of her own, which allows only those to enter who are ready to hand in logic and rationalism. But beware, if you dare to step through this door, you'll never want to leave again...
Disney is her attitude towards life, and if she could, she'd save the world from itself. Her patronus is a wolf, her wand the broken twig of an apple tree, 13 inches long with a unicorn hair core. Glitter on her shoes is a must, though she doesn't care for Cinderella's glass slippers. Too risky that something might break...
