Blood rushes to my head, and I get pins and needles in my hands. But then it fades, and I’m still here. Still on the bed. I hurry to the front door and look through the peephole. It’s the carpenter. He’s wearing a sleeveless navy shirt, acid-washed jeans and bright-white joggers. God, he’s got nice arms. All that drilling onsite obviously does good things for his biceps.I open the door. “Hello.”“Hi. I was wondering whether you were still here. I guess you are.” He smiles and brushes his curly hair out of his eyes. “Sorry again for startling you yesterday. My housemate and I are getting Chinese takeaway for dinner tonight, and I thought you might like to join us.”A housemate. Not a girlfriend.Say no. Say no. Say NO. “Actually, that would be great,” I say.What’s wrong with you, Caitlyn? You know this is a terrible idea.His face lights up, and my stomach flips at the sight. “Terrific. You can come over now, or a bit later, whichever you prefer. And the offer of a hot shower still stands.”“I think I will take you up on that, actually. A hot shower would be amazing.” Forty-eight hours. That’s all it took to break me. So weak. “I’ll come over in a bit.”“Fantastic. See you then.” He smiles.I shut the door and then look through the peephole. He’s just standing there, grinning at the door. I grin too, despite myself, then shake my head. I shouldn’t be doing this. I know that. So why am I?I walk back down the hall. I know exactly why I’m doing this. I’m doing this because I’m bored, and he’s seriously cute. Really good, valid reasons. I sigh. How much harm can one dinner do, really?
