And I just got into his car.
I just got into a stranger’s car.
My stomach clenches.
He looks at me with one hand on the wheel. The other touches his chin, giving it a simple scratch as he bobs his head toward my car.
“Car trouble?” he asks with a deep, youthful growl.
I open my mouth to answer, but nothing comes out. My voice, lost somewhere in the depths of my throat, refuses to do its job.
“I...” I squeak.
Leave.
Get out.
Run.
Now.
“I’m sorry!” I say as I fumble for the knob. “I thought you were someone else.”
“Wait,” he says, making me pause. “It’s all right. Stay out of the rain.”
Another bolt of lightning flashes in the sky and I flinch.
He smiles, that perfect jawline dipping with the most delicious dimples I’ve ever seen.
Why did I have to flinch like a damn child?
My cheeks burn. My fingers shake. Still, I say nothing.
His throat clears. “So, car trouble?” he asks again.
“Uh...” I find my voice. “Yeah. I think so. I tried to start it and it did that clicking thing.”
“Sounds like a dead battery. You leave the lights on?”
I roll my eyes. “Yeah, probably. That’s definitely something I’d do.”
Again, he smiles. “No worries, I’ll give you a jump.”
“No—!” I shake my head. “No, don’t... don’t trouble yourself. I can get my roommate to do it in the morning.”
“It’s pouring out there! Really don’t. I’d feel like an asshole — more than I already do.”
He sits back and laughs. “Then, can I give you a ride home?” he asks.
I hesitate. I can walk it. It’s not too far. It’s only... on the other side of campus, plus two blocks. And my backpack would get soaked, my sketchbook included. I can’t even describe how much that would ruin this already horribly eventful night.
Or I can do as my BFF Jenna would do and let the cute boy drive me home.
I hold my breath, feigning confidence. “Okay,” I squeak.
He smiles again.
Dimples for days.
