the diner in town because that would have been embarrassing. She’s not like the other girls, money doesn’t faze her, but I need tonight to be special for her.
“Baby, would you listen, it’s an important evening, so please, just relax.” Lacing my hand in hers, we make our way inside. The hostess glances at us with a small smile. “Reservation for Alexander.” She checks the book in front of her. A quick nod and she’s grabbing our menu’s.
“Follow me.” We do, and she leads us to the small booth I had specifically requested. Ivy and I slip into the comfortable seating. We’re alone for a few moments, and my heart rate picks up because I want to ask Ivy to move in with me. Needless to say I am nervous but I want her with me. I have been earning money doing odd jobs here and there, and I managed to rent my own apartment. Luke and I are headed to Los Angeles to start work at Verán Publishers. I want to ask her now so that will give her a few months to talk to her parents about it.
“Flash, are you okay? You look pale.” Her soft voice has me glancing up into those beautiful sapphire eyes.
“Yeah, I am just excited to be here with you, Firefly. And I have a gift for you.” Before I can present her with the small box, the waiter comes over to take our order. As soon as he’s gone, I look up at my beautiful girl.
“Handsome, I told you not to buy me anything.” Placing the sleek black velvet box in front of her. I watch her eyes light up. It’s not Tiffany’s, but it’s something I know she will love. With delicate fingers, she picks up the gift, and snaps it open. Her soft gasp is a beautiful sound and suddenly my mind flits back to her gasping when I slammed into her only hours before in her bedroom.
“Do you like it, Firefly?” My heart is racing, she’s so quiet, but when she lifts her gaze to mine, there are tears brimming in her beautiful eyes. She slowly pulls the bracelet from the box and hands it to me.
“It’s perfect, like you.” Her smile lights up the restaurant. I lock the thin silver chain around her wrist, the small Firefly pendant shimmers in the candlelight.
“I am not perfect, baby. You are.”
“I love you, Jayce.”
“And I love you, baby. Always. You’re my forever, Firefly.”
“ C ole , I can’t believe you bought me a whole cherry pie.” My exclamation has him chuckling. It had been a long day at school, we’re studying for finals, and as much as I hate studying, I am excited to get to college.
I have been bundled up in my comforter all evening feeling the effects of a cold coming on.
“Something sweet should make you feel better, baby.” He brings the fork to my lips and I stifle the groan when the tantalizing flavor of cherries explodes on my tongue.
When my eyes open, I am face to face with his laughing brown ones. “Your moaning will make me want to do something else to you.” His cheeky wink earns him a giggle.
“Cole Ashford!” We’ve only done it a couple times before, but the thought of him bestowing naughty pleasures on me has my core pulsing. We sit back on the bed as he feeds me tiny pieces at a time, reveling in the moans I make. I fall asleep sated in his arms, knowing my parents didn’t mind if he was here.
When I wake up, he is gone. Rolling over I grab my phone to send him a message, but find one from him instead.
*I love you, Cherry Pie*

I never lived down the fact that I had consumed the whole pie and even now, he still remembers. Shaking my head at the memory, I step into the foyer of the restaurant. “I am meeting Mr. Alexander?” The hostess nods and turns towards the main area which is bustling. I follow her through the throng of tables to a secluded booth.
As we near the table, I see him leaning against the bench seat dressed in a dark shirt that makes his blue eyes pop. His smooth tanned skin and the scruff on his angular jaw has me wanting to run my hands over it. There is no doubt he is incredibly gorgeous.
