It's In His Kiss(8)

By:Sabrina Lacey, Rosalind James


“Because I’m drawn to you, Abby. I can't explain it but I meant it when I said that I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since I met you yesterday. This is new for me so I want to explore it and find out what it means. It has to mean something.”

I gave him a cynical smirk. “I think all it means is that you saw a girl that you think is pretty, that’s it. I highly doubt this is new for you, Zane. We should go back inside.”

I didn’t have time for games or him trying to sweet talk me. I was brought back to reality by his words. He was in a band, he was the lead singer and he was hot. I was sure that he had his pick of girls and now that he met me and I wasn't falling all over him, it probably just made him want me more. I knew this game and I didn’t want to play.

I started to walk away and he quickly grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks.

“Abby, it’s more than that. I know you probably have to get back to your sister, so have dinner with me tomorrow night.”

"I don't know, Zane, I came here to relax and just hang out with Claire. This, you and me, wasn't part of my plan. Maybe we should just chalk it up to we each met a cool person and life goes on. I’m sure you have plenty of girls waiting for you back in New York.” With that I turned and walked away and went back inside to find Claire.

I was shocked to see her huddled in a corner full on making out with Logan. What was she doing? She had a boyfriend back home! I knew they didn’t always get along but as far as I knew, they were still together. I had never seen my sister behave like that so I knew something must have been bothering her. I decided to interrupt the little love fest and walked over to her, tapping her on her shoulder and clearing my throat.

“It’s getting late Claire, we should probably get going.” My look was stern so she knew that I was serious.

Zane came over to me while Claire was saying goodbye to Logan and cornered me. “Will you please have dinner with me tomorrow?”

“Zane, it’ really not a good idea. I recently got out of a relationship and I’m not ready for anything with anyone right now.”

He reached out and lightly touched my hand. “It is just dinner. You have to eat, don’t you?”

“Okay, I’m ready.” Claire breezed on over to us completely oblivious that she was interrupting, but I was happy that she did.

“Have a good night, your band was awesome tonight.” I gave him a small smile and then Claire and I left.

As soon as we got outside she grabbed my arm and jumped up and down, squealing like a teenager.

“Oh my gosh, Abby, Logan is so incredibly hot!”

“Claire, what about Adam?”

"Adam, schmadam, who cares. He told me that he wanted to take a break right before I came on this trip, so I'm taking a break!”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

"Because I knew how sad you were about Scott and this trip is about you, not me. I'm really not that upset about the whole Adam thing. I don’t think we’re compatible. Besides, I just met a hottie tonight and I plan to have a lot of fun on this trip!”

Did that mean that she was going to blow me off for him? She must have seen the worried look on my face and she immediately made me feel better.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to abandon you! I'll just have to have some late-night fun with Logan, unless you decide that the four of us can double date?”

Her eyes were begging and I had to shut her down immediately. "No, Claire. I have no interest in going out with Zane. I'm sure a guy like that has tons of girls waiting in the wings, and Logan probably does too so be careful. I don't want you to get your heart broken.”

"Heart broken? Oh, please. Abby, I am all about fun on this trip, nothing serious, no strings. You should be too. We're on vacation and I can tell that you like Zane. As much as you try to deny it, it’s written all over your face when you look at him, little sis.”

“First of all, you’re only 45 seconds older than me, so the whole big sis, little sis thing doesn’t really count. Second, I don’t want to spend time talking to some guy that I know I’ll never see again. I would rather spend my time alone or with you. If you want to go out with Logan, you can, I won’t be mad. I can literally just lie on the beach, read and doze off and on all afternoon.”

“Let’s just play it by ear tomorrow.”

“Okay, deal.”

It was almost 1:00 A.M. when we made it back to our room and we both crashed immediately.





Chapter 3



The next day Logan left a message for Claire first thing in the morning. He was totally into her. He wanted to have dinner with her and she was going to turn him down but I encouraged her not to. She didn't have to babysit me on our vacation and I wanted her to have some fun also. I had never seen Claire so into a guy, so I wanted her to enjoy every minute with him.
