Stark got out of the car, shuffled back to her, and wondered how he could stand. He felt almost numb, overexposed to that point like a nerve rubbed raw. He wasn\u2019t used to so much emotion pulling him this way and that, he was used to machinelike control. He listened though.<\/p>\n

He blinked rapidly a few times before speaking. \u201cI\u2026\u201d he swallowed, working to compose himself to help the conversation and himself. \u201cTo make myself clear I do, at the very least<\/em>, want to see more of you. A date or two. And\u2026 yeah, that was selfish of me to do\u2014to think I could decide for you. And\u2026 my mouth is?\u201d He couldn\u2019t help but ask.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer\u2019s pupils were huge from more than the darkness of the night. Light glittered off the tearstreaks on her face. \u201cI want to kiss you so badly right now,\u201d she whispered, feeling utterly caught in his gaze. \u201cSay it again. Why you want \/me\/. Say it again and I\u2019ll start believing you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI want you because of who you\u2019ve shown me you are. You\u2019re so honest, so selflessly helpful. You\u2019re not full of yourself, and you don\u2019t kiss ass to those who are. You\u2019re smart\u2026\u201d He paused, a small hint of a smile pulling at his lips. \u201cYou\u2019re beautiful, too. The whole package\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

He did his best to push his negative self image from his mind for the time being, and he succeeded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With every word out of his mouth, Summer’s shoulders relaxed a little more. One hand swiped at the wetness on her face, smearing it away. “Okay. Okay. Let’s just … okay, let’s just go and have dinner, and, and we, you can count this as a first date. Okay? And, and … ” she pulled in a deep, shuddering breath, “please just … be yourself. What you want to do, don’t hesitate. Trust me to tell you if it’s not okay?” She fetched her backpack from the car, and looked over her shoulder. “And if I ever hear ‘you’re too good for me,’ come out of your mouth in a serious context again, I’m going to explode your ego.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
