"I talked to Zoey yesterday." I muttered and he grinned but his eyes were clearly confused.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah; she told me even she doesn't get invited to the family barbeques."
Silence fell and I was unsure if it was because of Dylan's surprise or if I'd just let things turn awkward. However when I turned and looked at Dylan he was smiling at me.
"She would be right."
"So how come I got the all-inclusive invite?"
Dylan brushed his hands on his knees but continued to watch me.
"Because I wanted to see how you would feel around my family...you're like, my best friend."
"That's all?" I asked and picked up my sketch pad. As he continued to stare at me I began to sketch out his face.
"Well...maybe that's not the only reason..." He explained softly.
I continued to sketch his face, unable to meet his gaze because of my nerves gnawing on my stomach.
He set my sketch pad aside and I couldn't breathe because his closeness was sending me into near shock.
"Why did you come to my house Saturday night...I saw you pacing outside your jeep for nearly an hour before you finally just drove away." I breathed, suddenly smelling a hint of cologne on him mingled with the earthy smell of flowers and fresh dirt. He grinned and I felt his lips nearly brush my ear as he murmured.
"I was trying to work up the courage to do this."
