“Sonny shows me his phone. It鈥檚 a text message from Rapid, sent this morning, and it consists of one simple-but-not-so-simple question: Wanna meet up? My mouth drops. 鈥淪eriously?鈥� 鈥淪eriously,鈥� Sonny says. 鈥淗oly shit.鈥�
There鈥檚 one problem though. 鈥淲hy haven鈥檛 you responded?鈥� 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know,鈥� he says. 鈥淧art of me is like, hell yeah. The other part feels like this shit is too good to be true.

“Don鈥檛 ask where I got this idea, because I couldn鈥檛 tell you, but I knew precisely where we were going, and I was sure that this might officially make me a slut. But when we reached the door of the unused janitor鈥檚 closet, I had no feeling of shame鈥� not yet, at least.
I grasped the doorknob and noticed Wesley鈥檚 eyes narrow with suspicion. I yanked open the door, checked that no one was watching, and gestured for him to go inside. Wesley walked into the tiny closet, and I followed, shutting the door stealthily behind us.
鈥淪omething tells me this isn鈥檛 about The Scarlet Letter,鈥� he said, and even in the dark I knew he was grinning.
鈥淏e quiet.鈥�
This time he met me halfway. His hands tangled in my hair and mine clawed at his forearms. We kissed violently, and my back slammed against the wall. I heard a mop-or maybe a broom-topple over, but my brain barely registered the sound as one of Wesley鈥檚 hands moved to my hip, holding me closer to him. He was so much taller than me that I had to tilt my head back almost all the way to meet his kiss. His lips pressed hard against mine, and I let my hands explore his biceps.
The smell of his cologne, rather than the lonely, stale air of the closet, filled my senses.
We wrestled in the darkness for a while before I felt his hand insistently lifting the hem of my T-shirt. With a gasp, I pulled away from the kiss and grabbed his wrist. 鈥淣o鈥� not now.鈥�
鈥淭hen when?鈥� Wesley asked in my ear, still pinning me to the wall. He didn鈥檛 even sound winded.
I, on the other hand, struggled to catch my breath. 鈥淟ater.鈥�
鈥淏e more specific.鈥�
I squirmed out of his arms and moved toward the door, nearly tripping over what felt like a bucket. I raised a hand to flatten my wavy hair and reached for the doorknob. 鈥淭onight. I鈥檒l be at your house around seven. Okay?鈥� But before he could answer, I slipped out of the closet and hurried down the hall, hoping it didn鈥檛 look like a walk of shame.”

“There's nothing as useful as the truth, in terms of ruining anyone's day, week, month, year, decade, or life鈥� Unless, of course, you own a remotely operated automatic flamethrower-drone-tower and have some marinated pork-chops on your person, to lure unsuspecting dogs in close proximity to it, but since dogs don鈥檛 really have lives - by using this specific method of torture, you can only improve the remaining few seconds of their existence.”
