***********

Afterwards I drove back by Gray to pick up Aiden and Madison. I was in no mood to dance with anyone else. She got under my skin just the right amount that I would most likely have no rhythm.

Aiden wiggled his eyebrow suggestively again and I laughed to myself as I pictured him with no eyebrows.

“So tell us about it D.”

“No Please don’t I don’t want to hear about your lesbian ways.”

I pulled into the garage happy that I didn’t live farther away. “Good because nothing happened.”

After parking and unlocking the door I ran into the house and upstairs doing this flying jump onto my bed that had me land spread eagle on my back. What had happened? Where did that kiss come from? Aiden attempted to join me on the bed. “Off the bed Aiden.”

He pouted at me and then sat back in his beanbag chair. “Seriously How was is it though?”

I was staring at my vaulted ceilings. How was it? “Awkward.”

“She’s a bad kisser. That’s a let down.”

“No you ass. She’s not a bad kisser the kiss just came out of nowhere.”

I pondered up towards my vaulted ceilings again and listened to his munching. “Maybe she just read into the dancing.”

“Yes maybe but stop thinking about her and focus on the race.”

Much easier said than done but I tried my damndest the rest of the weekend. Saturday and Sunday Aiden and I raced at few timed as Madison timed us then practiced our freestyle. Monday was just a race I think where normally we would race and have a freestyle show off session. Each team races two people through the streets. No one knew where the starting point was because we all had to wait on a text telling us where to meet.

Ring.

Well today is the day. Saturday and Sunday didn’t go to bad so I have hope that we will still win. I survived Carver’s English without getting any shirt from him and minimal glances from Spencer.

However, I did have a visit with Stein where she accused me of stealing my hat back, which I denied and left her with a kiss. Our relationship had never been that of the professional kind.
