Excerpt:
"Did you want to go out to dinner?"
"I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't." He looked at me and sighed. "Yes, I wanted to go out with you."
"Then you should have said that instead of sitting there like a mute."
"But you said--"
"I know what I said, Dan. Why should I have said anything else? Huh? If you had really wanted to go out with me instead of having a party with your friends, you should have said so. I was the bad guy enough back in college, I refuse to play the role now."
The aggravation drained from his face and was replaced with something that looked suspiciously like understanding. Since he seemed to be a captive audience and I was on a roll, I continued. "You need to say what you mean and take responsibility for your actions." I could have gone on, but I figured I made my point and realized that I was starting to sound like my mother.
I took a deep, cleansing breath, which was a big mistake because my lungs filled with the clean fresh-from-the-shower scent of Dan. At that moment I realized how close he was standing. My eyes widened and met his smoldering gaze.
The air between us crackled. I wanted to step back but couldn't, tried to look away, but I couldn't seem to do that either.
Dan's eyes bore into me and of course he could read my every thought, anticipate my every move. I swallowed hard and attempted to move my feet and put some space between us. He shook his head and took a step closer, fully invading my personal space. I was about to protest--at least I like to think I was--but he placed his index finger across my lips and shook his head again.
