Chapter 17
A bing, bingnoise sounded on Devon’s cell phone when I handed him the napkin.
His face lit up in the glowing screen of the phone. “Pete made it home,” he said.
“Took him long enough.”
“He mentioned you.” Devon turned his cell phone toward me so I could read Pete’s text. Nice to C U tonight. Felt good to be around friends. Tell JT he is cute and that I live in Glens Falls if he wants 2 visit me. B good 2 each other. Night. xoxo.
“JT, huh?” I stared at the screen and up at Devon, smiling.
Without a word, he leaned further into the car and kissed me.
No smooches. No soft pecks. It was more like full on lip lock, French kiss style.
“Will you stay tonight?” he asked.
Devon seemed more grown up to me, eager, and passionate about life’s chances.
