of the fireworks. More students from the college surrounded their blanket, and Sean and a few of the guys ran off to get more drinks for everyone.
    Emma seemed very antsy, constantly standing and looking around.
    “What’s the matter?” asked Simon from his place on the blanket.
    “I’m worried about Maggie.” Emma looked at Michelle with concern. “She should be here by now.”
    “Why are you so worried?” Simon reached up and grabbed Emma’s hand.
    Michelle grimaced. She didn’t mean to, but it was like an automatic reaction to Simon touching another girl.
    “She was supposed to come here with her friend, Ben,” Emma explained. “They should have been here forty-five minutes ago.”
    “I’m sure she’s OK.” He squeezed her hand reassuringly.
    “I want to call her,” Emma stated.
    Simon stood up next to her. “I’ll walk you to a pay phone.”
    Emma sighed with relief. “Thank you, Simon.”
    “We’ll be right back, Chelle.” Simon wound his fingers through Emma’s. “Save our place.”
    She loved it when he called her that, but she didn’t love the sight of him walking hand in hand with Emma.
    Sean returned to his place on the blanket just then with a Mountain Dew for Michelle and a Pepsi for himself.
    “Thanks.” Michelle took a sip.
    “No problem.” He pointed to the empty spot on the blanket. “Where’d they go?”
    “To call our roommate, Maggie. She was supposed to meet us, and she’s not here yet.”
    “Oh, I thought maybe they wanted some alone time or something.”
    Michelle didn’t care for that comment, but he made up for it by running his fingers up the side of her arm, leaving little goosebumps in their wake. She lost focus on everything, except that sensation. She forgot about the crowd of people around them. She forgot about Simon holding Emma’s hand. She only had room for one thought at the moment. Sean wanted her. She could tell by the smoldering look in his eyes — a look many guys had given her in the past.
    Their eyes locked in a sultry stare. He scooted close behind her and shifted so one leg was on either side of her. She twisted her body to face him and laid her hands on his chest.
    “Speaking of alone time,” she flirted.
    He laughed a little, and she nearly swooned. Another guy with a great laugh. She had hit the jackpot at this college.
    She could feel Sean’s heart racing beneath her fingertips, his breaths came quicker, and his ice blue eyes were on fire. His gaze shifted to her lips then, and she closed the distance between them, putting him out of his misery. It had been a long time since she’d had a really good kiss. This one fit the bill, for sure.
    Her hands slid up around his neck into his dark, wavy hair. It was as soft as she imagined it would be. She pressed herself fully against his solid chest.
    Sean’s arms wound around her back and held her firmly to him as their kisses grew deeper and more passionate right there in the middle of Ah-Nab-Awen Park.
    Oh, he’s a good kisser. She’d been in need of some male attention, and that’s exactly what he gave her. His full, undivided attention.
    “ Ahem .” The sound of someone’s throat clearing interrupted their steamy moment.
    Michelle pulled back and looked up to discover Simon standing over them. Her face was on fire, partly from kissing Sean, but also because Simon was the last person on earth she wanted to find her like that.
    “Sorry to interrupt.” He raised an eyebrow at them and looked extremely amused.
    Emma’s eyes widened. She said nothing.
    Sean kissed the corner of her mouth, then leaned in and whispered, “We’re doing that again later.”
    Her stomach flipped at the tone in his voice and the feel of his breath against her ear, but she was still very aware that Simon and Emma were standing there watching them. She shifted so she was facing the river again and sat straight up.
    “Did you get ahold of Maggie?” Michelle stuttered, while Sean’s fingertips traced softly
