while reprimanding herself for being attracted to him so soon after meeting him.
    They sat quietly watching football and binged on delicious cake and pie for a while. Every now and again she would get really excited about a play and jump up to either cheer or jeer at the screen.
    “You really get into football.”
    “My father worked really hard through the week when I was little. Saturday was his day to do yard work or odd things around the house. The best way to spend time with him was on Sunday when he was watching football. My father, brother and I would come home from church, and plant ourselves in front of the TV for the next few hours. He’d even let us stay up late to watch Monday Night Football if the Bears were playing.”
    “I like dating a girl that likes football.”
    “Once again, what’s this about us dating? We are not dating.”
    “I didn’t say we were. I just said that’s a quality I like in a girl I date. But we are dating.”
    She rolled her eyes at him. Eventually all the food she’d eaten caught up to her and she became drowsy. Her foggy brain did not tell her to stop when she laid her head on his chest. She cuddled into his warmth and fell asleep to the rhythm of his heart beating under her ear. He pulled her in closer and kissed the top of her head, but he did not doze off because he wanted to enjoy the feel of her soft warmth nestled against him.
    Slowly she woke to an unfamiliar feeling. Her pillow felt harder than usual. Finally, her drowsy brain reminded her she was on her couch with Jack. Hesitantly she opened her eyes confirming her suspicion that she was not laying on a pillow but on Jack’s chest. Even more alarming was that in her sleep her hand had found its way under his t-shirt to rest on the bare skin of his well toned stomach. She yanked her hand from under his shirt and sat up, moving away from him. Of course when she looked at him, he was just smiling that smile at her.
    “Sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you,” she said flustered.
    “No need to be sorry, you were comfortable. I liked it. I like when a girl I’m dating falls asleep on me.” Before she could say anything he said, “I know. I know. You don’t think we’re dating.”
    Diane hoped that his stomach was the only thing she touched. The fractions of her dream that she could remember had her investigating if his thighs were as muscular as they appeared. She had been engaged to Dr. Insincere and he had never made her feel more than lukewarm. She’d known Jack for a little over twenty-four hours and he already had her hot enough to melt steel. Somewhere deep down inside she felt like less than a woman because of Dr. Insincere’s probable perpetual infidelity. Jack made her feel like the most desirable of women and everything he did reminded her how much of a man he was.
    Despite the reasons why she was reacting so strongly to Jack, she was going to have to nip it in the bud or at least apply the brakes. He had her so confused she was mixing metaphors. She needed to concentrate on school and her career, not deep voiced smiles. She scooted further away on the couch. Once her car was fixed and returned to her, she would have no contact with him. Of course she would pay for the repairs. Well, her dad would pay for the repairs, but after that she’d forget he existed. A voice in her mind was laughing.

Chapter 4
    Jack woke up later than usual on Friday. For the first time in a while he’d slept soundly through the night. He did not remember exactly what he had dreamt about, but he did remember who they were about. Dreaming of Diane left little room in his mind for the usual stress
