We stayed like that for a minute. His lips pressed against my hair and my arms wrapped tightly around him.

It was one of those hugs that you just wished would go on forever, the kind of hug that made you feel closer to a person; the ones that brought you together.

"I want to ask you to stay but I don't want them know about this. About us."

A second ago I would have questioned if he was embarrassed to be seen with me in front of all of his friends but now I knew they weren't just his friends and I believed in him. If he thought keeping me out of their sight was the best way to keep me safe then I trusted him.

"Stick to the rules, Mr." I teased, pulling away from him so I could look at his eyes.

They were soft and gentle and a little bit teasing too as he replied, "as long as you agree to play."

Dave leaned in to me again, this time head dipping to meet my lips. I awaited the touch that I knew would send an electric shock through my entire body. I loved that feeling. I loved that my body reacted to him so quickly although I didn't quite understand it.

When the kiss finally came, I pressed my body against his. Savoring every second of it before it was over.

Dave pulled away first, chest raising and falling rapidly and with eyes hooded with desire. Good. I thought.

 So he felt the same way I did when he kissed me.

"I can pick you up after they clear out. I'll try to get them to leave now but it might be difficult, they'll have a lot of questions."

The image of me running out of there came to mind and I couldn't believe I'd caused such a scene.

Dave seemed to have read my mind.

"It's okay. Don't worry about anything. I'll tell them it wasn't you."

"Zac saw me."

"It's okay, Zac will cover for us."

"How do you know?"

Dave shrugged. "He's my friend. I'll convince him."

"About the other stuff as well?"

A frown followed the shrug. "I don't know. I need to talk to him about you first...about us."

My heart flutters at the word, "us". This was real. This was happening.

He lets his arms drop to his side and there was a smirk playing on his lips.

"Later baby."

The pet name brings an immediate smile to my face and his smirk grows.

I turn before he does and enter the car.

As soon as I am seated and Dave is no longer with me the mood of the atmosphere does complete 180. The tension in the air is thick and Brianna and Sam are both silent and I knew the second I tried to defend my decision they would argue against it just as fiercely.

Brianna turned on the car and pulled out of the parking spot. I could practically hear my heart beating in my chest.

I didn't know if I should try to at least explain but I had a feeling that even if I did, they would still see what I did as a mistake. If I were in their shoes and they were the ones that had come running down those stairs and yelling at the guy, or in Sam's case, the girl they were supposed to be with only to end up making up, I would think of it as a mistake as well.
