Two
attractive people, talking, laughing, flirting. Sounds like a date
to me.”
    “ Wait. I recall you flirting
with me. I mean your lips are succulent and all, but…” Dammit,
Selena. “I mean…”
    “ It’s too late now! You put
it out there on the table. You can’t take it back.” His eyes
widened to the gills. I sat back in my chair, sheer humiliation
poured over me. I couldn’t utter a word. My ears reddened with
embarrassment, but a smile still managed to ornament my face. “Have
you ever been in love before?” Heath asked; his stony eyes relaxed
upon my face.
    “ Have I ever before been in
love before?” My stomach knotted. Heath could see the reluctance
splashed on my face.
    He grabbed a few papers and shuffled them.
“How about we get back to work?” I nodded in agreement.
    We spent the rest of the afternoon avoiding
the main reason we were there – to study. It was cathartic talking
to someone who knew how you felt. He knew me so well, he finished
my sentences; and I did his.
    We walked out of Robertson Library; the sun
was preparing to set soon.
    “ Where did you park?” he
asked. His face was squinting from the sunshine. “I’ll walk you to
your car.”
    “ I’m in lot B.” He paused
and looked at the top of my head. His eyes squinted. “What’s
wrong?” I asked.
    “ Wait. Don’t move?” He edged
in closer to me.
    “ Why?”
    “ There’s a bumblebee right
on top of your hair.”
    “ Oh my god. Oh my god. Get
it. Get it. Get it.” My arms flailed rapidly on my side. I was on
the edge of panic and near death. I gritted my teeth and slammed my
eyes shut.
    “ I said don’t move,
Selena,” he said laughing.
    “ Are you going to laugh or
get it?”
    He moved in closer to me; his chest brushed
up against mine. The stubble on his jaw grazed my cheek. I inhaled
his scent as I felt my breasts stiffen up as he pressed up against
me. A slight wave of his hand coerced the pest away from me.
“There. I got it.” I unclenched my gut and breathed easier.
    Heath rested his arms on my shoulders. His
face mere centimeters away from mine. The heat between us was
rising. “You saved me,” I said biting my lips. His touch made me
inhale sharply. I could taste him. His look told me he was hungry
to take possession of my mouth. He leaned in closer to mesh his
lips with mine only to be interrupted by someone shouting his
voice.
    “ Heath!” A six foot
something, one hundred and nothing, blonde decked out in State
volleyball gear sauntered over to where we stood. How could this
bitch interrupt? This was my moment. My eyes lasered upon her frame
with utter disgust.
    “ Heath, how are you? Like
you didn’t get my calls? Or my texts?” She had a voice that
screamed valley girl privilege. I bet she would disown her parents
if they didn’t extend her credit limit to get a new pair of high
heels.
    “ I’ve been busy,” he said.
His voice was deadpan.
    Her blue eyes took one look at me, and then
rolled away at Heath. “Busy with what ? Like really?”
    “ School. Life.” He put his
hands on his hips, and then folded his arms.
    “ Like, busy with her? Like
who’s she?” The airhead nodded in my direction. If she said the
word like one more time I was gonna stab her in the eyeball with
this ink pen.
    “ This is…”
    “ I’m Selena,” I said. I
pouted my chest out rigidly. My tone was sharp and
defiant.
    “ Oh.” She sighed then turned
back to Heath. “Like, so are you coming to my match on Wednesday?
Like we’re playing Northern U.”
    Though her attitude was shitty, she was
beautiful. Thin frame. Long, flowing sandy blonde hair. Much more
of a match for Heath than I was. Here is where I made my exit.
    “ No. I won’t. I’m
busy.”
    “ What? Like why
not?”
    Heath grasped my hand tightly. “Like
because.” His fingers intertwined with mine. Playing along, I
defiantly whisked my hair behind my head and pouted my lips at her.
“I’m like busy.” Heath turned away from
