them. I almost do, but instead I throw the gift bag
out.
    “ Open it.”
    A dark, bushy eyebrow tilts up. “You
got me a present?”
    “ I read in Vanish that all
magicians need one.” I shake the bag at him. “Open it,
please?”
    His fingers brush over mine, sending
twinkly stars up my arm. The dark blue tissue paper crinkles as he
digs in the bag and fishes the present out.
    “ I hope it fits,” I say, as
he quirks a smile at the light grey fedora. It matches his
beautiful eyes. “Though I’m not sure if a bunny will be comfortable
living in it.”
    A small laugh shakes through him, and
he flips the hat down his forearm and pops it with his elbow. After
catching it, he slides it over his dark hair, his half grin now
full blown.
    “ Fits perfect.”
    “ Holy crap, do that again,”
I blurt out through my gaping mouth.
    I didn’t think he would, but he
totally obliges, pulling it from his head and popping it with his
other elbow.
    “ You have to teach me how
to do that,” I say, snatching the gift bag from his hand. He lets
out a small laugh and opens the passenger door for me.
    “ Sure. I mean… if you’re
serious.”
    “ Heck yes, I’m serious.” I
plop into the seat and scoot so he doesn’t hit my butt with the
door as he closes it. What a freaking adorable
gentleman.
    “ So … I’m hungry,” he says
when he starts the engine. “You mind if we get something to eat
first?”
    Oh. “Um, you can. I didn’t bring my
purse.”
    “ I-I’ll pay.”
    I pull my feet up on the seat and nod
into my knees to hide my dorkville smile. “Then, yes, I’m starving.
Feed me.”
    He chuckles and lets his hand dangle
dangerously close to mine on the center console.
    Okay. I don’t care if this isn’t a
date. I’m going to count it as one anyway.

Chapter 6

     
    There are not many places to choose
from in town, so I head over to Skippy Lee’s. They have the best
burgers. Oh damn, I didn’t even think to ask Kaylee if she eats
meat. My luck she’s a vegetarian like Ryan.
    “ Uh…do you eat meat?” I
ask, and her eyes widen. Suddenly I realize just how wrong that
sounds. “Like burgers?” I sputter.
    “ Are you kidding me? Who
doesn’t like burgers?” Kaylee’s out of the car before I even have
it in park. She rounds the front and opens my door. “Come on. I’m
starving.”
    I take the key out of the ignition and
hop out. I expect my exit to look cool. Instead my suspender gets
stuck to the seatbelt and flings me back. The strap snaps loose
from my pants and somehow the metal clasp whacks me in the back of
the head.
    “ Umph.” I rub my head as if
my fingers are made of some magic healing lotion.
    “ Are you okay?” Kaylee
asks, resting her hand on top of mine.
    Sure I’m fine. I just made a complete
fool of myself. Why can’t I be smooth like Nick? It comes so
natural to him. It obviously skipped me.
    Kaylee’s small fingers grip mine. “Let
me see.”
    I let my hand fall to my side and lean
down. She pops up on her tiptoes to get a good look. The stinging
is gone, and all I can focus on is her touch, the way her fingers
draw circles in my hair, how her fresh scent wraps around me like a
warm blanket, the way she can’t hold herself up on her toes for too
long, and has to keep bouncing back up, the amazing thing those
skin tight black pants are doing for her legs…
    She moves closer, her boobs
practically going right to my mouth. Oh.
My. God . But just as I’m about to divert
my attention away from boob mountain, her lips press ever so gently
against my hair.
    “ All better,” she
says.
    I glance up and meet her eyes. A light
breeze blows by, tossing her hair into her face. Her hands fly up
to her mouth, pulling and swatting at the stray pieces. A loud puff
of air leaves her lips, and she lets out a grunt.
    “ Hair and lip-gloss are a
bad combination,” she says as she fishes a piece off her
lip.
    I reach out, my finger grazing the
corner of her mouth as I pull away the strand she
