Jack walked me to the door
quietly. When we reached it, he set a hand lightly on my back.
I jumped.
“Sorry, sorry,” he said. He held
his hands up where I could see them. He looked at me. “Look, this is really bad
timing.”
“What’s bad timing?”
“This,” he said. He bit his lip.
“After tailgate I spent a while trying to figure out who you were. But nobody
could tell me.”
“Probably because I don’t
ordinarily act like that.”
He smiled. “Oh. Well, that’s a
shame.”
“For you, maybe.”
“For me, definitely.” He laughed.
“So, can I ask you to dinner or is that going to piss you off?”
“I don’t think now’s a good time
to talk about dinner.”
“Yeah. I know. Bad timing.”
“It’s always bad timing,” I said.
“That’s too bad.”
I stepped out of the door.
“Can I ask you a serious
question, though?” he said. “Why’d you kiss me?”
I shrugged. “My roommate dared
me.”
His face changed. Not
dramatically, but enough to know that what I said had been hurtful.
He laughed. “Ha. Of course, of
course.” He nodded. “I should’ve thought of that.”
I stared at the mixture of
surprise and hurt on his face and swallowed. He’d leave me alone if I left now.
But, I wouldn’t like the unsteadiness in my stomach.
I put my hand on the door to keep
him from closing it.
“I mean.” I swallowed. “He dared
me to kiss someone. And I chose you.” I flushed, as something else crossed his
face, and I pulled the door shut before I could say anything else.
