mouth. My cheeks warmed as my head whipped back and forth. “Shhh! What’s the big idea?”
    Her eyes bugged out and she immediately grabbed my wrist, lowering my hand. “Ew! That is effing nasty. I have no idea where that hand has been.”
    “Shut up! People can hear you!” My eyes continued to scan left to right and I was sure I’d spot people laughing at me.
    Anna rolled her eyes. “You do realize that the music in here is loud, right? You have to yell to be heard.”
    “And you were yelling!” I yelped.
    “Dude, did you ever think that maybe you’re a relationship virgin because you freak out at any mention of a guy you like?” She tugged at her shirt and grimaced. “Seriously, you need to get a grip on yourself.”
    “I do have a grip on myself,” I hissed. People were looking at us. I was sure of it.
    “Estelle, you’re eighteen.”
    “And your point is?”
    “You are beyond a late bloomer.”
    I knew she was teasing but her words cut me to the core. I pressed my lips together and walked quietly beside her, intent on keeping my eyes straight. I wasn’t about to give her anything else to tease me about. God knew I’d heard it all before.
    At least that’s what I planned to do.
    It was strange but it was almost as if I could feel him nearing us before I even saw him. All the hairs on my arms stood at attention and even my breaths became labored.
    “Are you okay?” Anna asked. She glanced over my head and the look on her face spoke millions. With a tiny smirk she whispered, “Your Prince Charming is coming.”
    I’ve only ever regretted three choices in my life. It’s funny, but those three choices started at the exact moment I chose to sneak a peek beside me.
    Regret #1: I should have just kept my head down.
    Once I caught a glimpse of Jacob standing impossibly close to me in all his shirtless glory I knew I was done for. Any hope of denying my growing infatuation was completely thrown out the window. My heart sped up and my palms became sweaty. If this was the feeling all those love songs were written about, I had no idea how anybody made it through the day.
    Regret #2: Word vomit to the extreme.
    Despite always having a slight fear of speaking to the opposite sex, for some reason my body went on autopilot. Taking a step closer to him, I lifted my chin and blurted out, “You were amazing out there.”
    Why oh why did I choose that exact moment to gain an ability to speak to pure hotness? Even Anna looked as if she was face palming in my honor.
    Jacob, who was about six-inches taller than me, looked down in surprise. His eyes met mine and the split second relief I felt from realizing he didn’t think I was a total idiot was completely washed away when he threw me a crooked grin, showcasing the dimple on his right cheek. “Thanks. Glad you like it.”
    Don’t say anything more. Don’t say anything more.
    “That spinning thing you do is amazing. I’m Estelle, by the way.” Heart beating faster, I giggled uncontrollably.
    Fuck me.
    Despite the fact that Anna was visibly gagging beside me, Jacob luckily didn’t seem to mind. “Took me a while to perfect it.” He nodded his head, growing a distant look in his eyes. I found myself grasping, trying to imagine what was running through his mind. I leaned up expectantly, wanting to hear more. Jacob must have noticed because he soon looked down and winked. “Glad to know I’m not the only one who thinks it’s cool.”
    “I think it’s amazing,” I repeated.
    Damn it.
    The crowd by the bathrooms suddenly thinned and Jacob pushed forward, disappearing into the men’s room, leaving Anna and I standing outside in silence. After a few moments she gazed at me in amusement.
    “What?” I rolled my eyes in exasperation, trying to downplay my growing sense of humiliation. “I really don’t want to hear what you have to say right now…or ever.”
    “I wasn’t going to say anything,” she replied nonchalantly.
    “Good.”
    “Actually maybe I
