pick which one she wants.
    It isn’t long before Cassie gets comfortable and her eyes flutter closed. I sit and watch her sleep for a while. Her pink lips were parted, her breathing is soft. I check her hand to make sure it isn’t swelling anymore. The first time my hand touched her skin I felt the spark. There is no way she couldn’t have felt it, too.
    I finally decide I need to quit being a creeper and find Bo before she wakes up soon. I find him in the kitchen making a sandwich. I grab Bo by his shirt and drag him outside.
    He has the nerve to ask, “What’s stuck up your ass, J?” He is laughing at me, at how wound up by this girl I am.
    I cut right to the chase and ask the most important question. “Are you interested in, Cassie?”
    “Why, are you?”
    “Just answer the question,” I scold him.
    “What if I was?”
    “Then you might as well bow out now because I’m not going to let you get this one.” Girls usually love Bo because of his wit . The last one I liked wanted Bo instead of me.
    Bo laughs and slaps my back. “She’s pretty, but she’s not my type. Cassie’s all yours little bro. Besides, I think she’d stab me in my sleep.”
    “You’ll do well to remember that, too.”
    “Wow…it’s that bad huh?”
    “You don’t even know the half of it,” I mutter as we walk back inside to check on sleeping beauty. I stop dead in my tracks when I notice the couch is empty and the ice packs are lying on the table. I knew she had left, but I made a quick search of the house just in case my gut was wrong.
    I run back into the kitchen and yell, “She’s gone, bro!” as he was about the take his first bite.
    “Darn you, J! Can’t a guy eat his sandwich in peace?”
    I roll my eyes. “Give me your keys so I can go find her.”
    He shakes his head. “No way are you driving my truck!”
    “Well then get up and let’s go. It’s almost dark out and I bet she has no idea how to get home from here.” Cassie is a Yankee, and from the city, that much I know. City people and Yankees do not know how to get around in the country. Not to mention she didn’t even know her address or what road she lived on earlier.
    What surprises me is how attracted to her I am, even though she isn’t a country girl. When I envisioned ‘the one’, she was from the country, born and bred. Cass is the exact opposite of that.
    “I’m coming! You don’t need to get your panties in a twist,” Bo groans, bringing his sandwich with him.
     

 
    Chapter Five
    Cassie
    When I wake up from my nap, I notice its almost dark out. Crap! I need to get home. I throw the covers back and jump up. Bo and J are nowhere to be found, thank God. Throwing on my shoes, I leave the ice packs on the coffee table and run towards the door. Trying to be discreet as possible, I turn the knob slowly, slip through, and shut it quietly behind me. As soon as my foot leaves the last step I sprint up the driveway. It’s situations like this when I could really use a phone.
    One thing’s for certain…I have no idea how to get home from here. I decide to follow the route that leads back to the school and then go the way Bo took me home earlier. I need to get a run in anyway.
    I am not even a mile down the road before I hear the roar of a truck and see the lights. You’ve got to be kidding me! I search quickly for somewhere to hide, but I only find woods. No way. I didn’t slow down nor do I stop running. I keep the same pace, even as the truck slows beside me.
    J pops his head out of the passenger side window. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Cass?” he reprimands.
    “What does it look like?” I retort, breathless.
    “You must really want to get yourself killed. It’s not safe for you to be out alone.” If he only knew…
    I slow to stop and place my hands on my hips. “I didn’t want to bother you guys.” That is somewhat truthful.
    Bo is chuckling in the driver’s seat, not sure what about.
    J shakes his head. “Cass,
