How did I begin falling for this idiot?

When we got to the car, he refused to sit on the passenger’s side, insisting he could drive, but I wouldn’t budge. His shoulders sagged as he muttered something about that little motherfucking piece of glass.

“Oh, wait,” he said as I turned the ignition key.

“What now?”

“If you won’t let me drive,” he said, “how am I supposed to get home after dropping you off?”

I smirked. “You mean after droppingyouoff.”

The horrified look on his face was enough to show me that the realization finally dawned on him. “No, it can’t–”

“Looks like your car will have a sleepover at my house tonight.”

After dropping him off, much to his disdain as he kept protesting about the unfairness of life, I headed back home.

It was only when I was parked in front of my house that it occurred to me that I hadn’t thanked him for the helping me tonight. Still inside his car, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and typed a quick text.

Thank you for tonight. How’s your foot?

The reply came when I was already inside the house, making my way back to my bedroom.

No problem. Oh, you know, I think it’s still PMSing.

I laughed, loud and real and happier than I had ever been since the night Cedric had dumped me. I thought back to the question I had asked myself earlier about how I began falling for such an idiot.

Looking down at his reply, I knew I was staring at the answer.
