tennis?" he asks.
    "Yes," I say, feeling my heart-rate elevate.
    “Finally, someone does, I like you even better.”
    My stomach dives, just like when going down a unexpected dip on a rollercoaster.
    “She’d give the pro’s a run for their money.”
    Kevin turns to look at her.
    “I’m serious, she is the real deal on the court.”
    Kevin turns to look at me, his eyes looking deep in mine, I sink in my seat, not wanting him to turn away. I feel his desire for me. I wonder if he feels mine for him?
    “Really? Your that good? Because I like a challenge," he says.
    I feel a pinch on my thigh, it's Amanda.
    "Listen I got to go, I have a plane to catch in the morning," Amanda says, looking at Kevin.
    I reach for my beer bottle, ready to down what’s left. Not wanting to go but not wanting to be forward about staying with Kevin. Here I blow another chance to be with Kevin.
    Shit, do something.
    I look at him to say good-bye. We didn’t even exchange phone numbers, but I tell myself, at least he knows where I’m staying. So there may be a chance he will look me up. Or the worst case, he won’t even bother, because I have given him no reason to think I’m interested. How sad to think my three chances are up.
    Do something.
    “Hey Julie, why don’t you stay?”
    Did I just hear what he said?
    “I can take you back to the apartment, if you want. It’s not too far from here,” Kevin says, looking up at me with his gorgeous face.
    Say yes, say yes.
    “Oh, you know where our apartment is?” Amanda questions.
    “Of course, I do.”
    “Blah, of course you do, see I better get back.”
    I look at Amanda, “Do you need any help packing tonight?” I ask.
    “No, I’m good, stay have fun. Kevin can be a gentleman, so you're safe,” she says, letting out a chuckle. “I’m serious.”
    “Yes, I am,” Kevin says, “No need to worry. I’ll get her home safe. If I keep her too long we’ll text you.”
    Really, does he think I’m worried about him? I better give him reason not to. I feel my panties start to moisten,
    “Seriously Julie, have fun,” she says.
    “OK, see you later,” I say.
    “If you need anything, call.”
    “OK.”
    I watch Amanda walk out the door, buying time to get my heart settled, finding myself tongue tied.

    “Finally we are alone,” he says, leaning in the table. Staring right at me.
    “We are,” I say, the words freely coming from my mouth, inhaling his breath. I feel my heart getting hot and heavy for him.
    Kevin gets out of the seat and sits next to me. Man, I feel my attraction for him grow, my heart beating for his. His shoulder touching mine, his eyes just inches away from mine.
    "How is it that we always bump into each other?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Can it be a sign?”
    “Maybe.”
    “Do you like me?” He asks, his hand making its way to my thigh.
    Talk about being in the hot seat, not thinking straight, feeling hot and vulnerable. Wanting to shout out yes, but fearing to.
    "If you don't, I'll take you home right now."
    "I do.”
    “You do what?”
    “I like you,” I say, feeling the weight of the world off my shoulders. I finally said what I have been feeling since I first saw Kevin.
    He lets out a boyish smile, his hair sweeping in his eyes.”
    “How about me?” I ask, feeling frisky. Why not go for him, might as well get my desire for him out of my system. If I don’t, I will regret it. “Do you like me?”
    “Yes, I like you. Fuck yes.”
    The way he said fuck brings ripples down my back.
    His hand moves across to the zipper of my pants, wanting to get in my jeans.
    Relax.
    He finds the knob of the zipper and slowly unzips it. His hand is now in my jeans, quickly they find themselves in my underwear. I feel my private rise, aching for his finger. I return the favor and move my hand over to his thigh, moving my fingers over to his fly. Feeling his manhood is driving me wild, wanting to make love to
