“I love her,” Blue said.

The words spilled from his mouth. It wasn’t a lie, but the complete and total truth, which also shocked him. He’d never been in love before, but that was exactly how he felt.

Her father paused. “In love?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve never seen or heard of you since yesterday. You expect me to believe that you’re in love with my daughter?”

“I know. I … I can’t explain it. I know what I feel when I’m around her. It makes no sense, I get that. On paper, with everything you know about me, you wouldn’t want me near your daughter. I’m not using her. I swear.”

D--n it, he was sweating.

He was normally so calm and collected.

Her father continued to stare at her.

He felt the assessment through to his bones.

Licking his lips, he tried to remain calm, but that was proving to be a little … difficult.

“No more cutting class. Laylah has a bright future ahead of her, and I don’t want some boy to interfere with that.”

“Yes, sir.” It was the first time he’d been considered some boy. Rather than argue, he offered a smile.

“Right, I think we’re done here.”

“We are?”

“Yes. Leave all in one piece before I change my mind.”

Blue nodded.

“Blue?”

He stopped and saw her father held his hand out for a shake. He moved toward him and shook his hand, aware of the tightness of the hold.

“If you hurt my daughter, you better make a run for it, because teenager or not, I will come for you. Got it?”

“I got it.”

“Good.”

The handshake was over.

He left the office with her father close behind him.

Laylah was in the kitchen, waiting.

“You can see your boyfriend out, Laylah, then you’re grounded until I say otherwise,” her father said.

She winced.

They left through the front door and Laylah closed it behind her, following him to his waiting car. She glanced up and down the street.

“Well, I can say cutting class leaves a lot to be desired.”

He stepped up to her, kissing her. “I didn’t mean to get you grounded.”

“Another first.”

He groaned. “How about you leave your window open and I come and visit you tonight?”

“Are you serious?” she asked.

“Why not? It’ll be fun.”

“You’ll fall and break your neck.”

“You’ve got to learn to have some faith. It’s going to take more than that to get rid of me. If you want me to come to your room tonight, leave your window open. If not, and I see it closed, I’ll know you don’t want me to come.”

She laughed. “This is so … weird.”

“But it’s going to be a good weird.” He kissed her. “I better go before your dad gets a shotgun.”

“Is that what he said?”

“Your dad loves you very much.”

He stepped away, already hating the distance between them.

“I’ll see you tonight, or tomorrow.” He winked at her, climbing into his car.
