part 8 - 'lets get out of here'

Keegan felt even more relieved and even more flustered, feeling his heart speeding up and his chest fluttering.

He felt like he was falling for Brooklyn all over again, right here and now, in front of everybody.

He loved her bold and sassed up replies.

He loved that she had no problems teasing him and flirting back with him.

He loved the bow in her hair.

He loved the fact that she was wearing HIS jersey.

He leaned forward again, his brows furrowed more.

"Hmph. Are you sure you're not just teasing me? You're not just saying that to mess with me, are you?"

"you never know," she replied, smiling.

Keegan let out a chuckle at her response, shaking his head a bit.

"You're a tease, you know that? A sassy little tease."

He smiled more and more as he spoke, raising a brow slightly when he said the word 'sassy'.

"I am very aware," brookyln replied, laughing a little.

Keegan chuckled once more, loving the fact that she admitted it to him.

He felt like... he loved her even more for admitting it. Hell, he felt like he loved her more for everything she'd been saying and doing.

"You're a damn tease, honey. But lucky for you... I love sassy little teases like you."

"oh so you love me now? I met you how many hours ago? 3?" She teases. Clearly blushing.

Keegan let out a soft laugh at this, feeling slightly embarrassed again.

He felt ridiculous, but something in him wanted to just confess it all outright.

But he held his tongue. He barely knew Brooklyn, and she didn't seem like a girl who would fall for a guy like him after three hours.

"H-hey, I didn't say that. I'm just saying that I-" He replied, getting cut off. his cheeks flushing more.

"it's okay, no need to stutter hun. I know what you meant," she coos.

Keegan felt his heart skipping a beat as she called him out on his stutter.

He felt embarrassed again but also amused and more flustered than before.

He smirked and shook his head, trying to maintain his confidence.

"Oh yeah? And what did I mean, honey?" He asked, looking into your eyes with a mix of amusement and a bit of hopefulness.

Brooklyn waited a moment before responding, like she didn't know what she wanted to say. She looked slightly confused.

"fuck the food. let's head back to yours, like now," Brookyln replied, changing the subject.

The change in her attitude shocked him a bit, but he immediately felt intrigued by her sudden response.

His brows raised, his lips parted. He couldn't help but agree with her.

"You want to get out of here?.. Alright... let's go. Come on."

Keegan quickly got up, feeling eager and aroused as he waited for Brooklyn to come along.

Brookyln picked up her stuff and walked out with Keegan, Keegan quickly led her out of the restaurant with his hand on her lower back, feeling his heart racing as he guided Brookyln to his car in the lot.

Once they both reached his car, he gave her a smirk and playfully opened the door for her.

"Let's get out of here." He said, his tone deeper than usual.

Once she was in the car and he was in the driver's seat, he started the car and quickly drove off.

He felt the excitement building up inside his chest, feeling almost nervous because he finally had her alone with him. She was in his car, headed to his place...
