“Oh damn.” I gasp, looking at the grand building. “Are you sure we can sneak into this thing?”

Caleb examines the scenery and lets out a small grunt. “Huh, well it’s worth a try.”

We both hold in a laugh as we awkwardly exit the car and make our way up the steps of the building.

Music thumps in the background the closer we get. Our shoulders constantly graze each other as though we’re bundling a secret only we know. It feels electric.

But I can’t deny the nerves creeping up my spine the more I think about what we’re about to do. It brings up flashes of this weekend and even memories farther back.

“Do you remember that one night we spent all night listening to your Gorillaz album?” I ask.

Caleb throws his head back and laughs, the sound waking me up and pulsing energy through me again. “Um, absolutely? We stayed up all night eating Oreos and drinking that Code Red Mountain Dew you love. Damn, we gotta play Clint Eastwood soon and just blast it. Miss those days.”

“Deal.” I sigh. That honestly sounds perfect. Things were so simple then.

The wedding is packed with so many people that it’s easy to blend in. Thank God we stopped for suits. There’s no way anyone would think we don’t belong here.

“Oh, yum!” Caleb gasps, snatching some sort of appetizer off of a servers platter as they passed by.

I shake my head and roll my eyes.

“What?” Caleb shrugs, swallowing it down.

“We’re supposed to be looking for Sarah.”

“And what, that means no snacks?” He smirks. “I’m starving.”

“Yeah I guess we were pretty busy. Really worked up the appetite.” I wink. Woah, where’d that come from? It’s too late. It’s already out in the air. I officially flirted out loud.

Caleb stops in his tracks, mouth open, clearly shocked by my flirtation too.

“Bringing that up here? Damn, Philips. You shock me more and more every day.” He shakes his head as he licks his thumb clean.

My eyes zone in on the way his lips curl around his thumb as he sucks it slowly. I swallow deeply. Damn.

Might as well keep the flirting going. As the booming from the DJ’s sound system thumps through me, all I could think about was the last time we were on a dancefloor together…and what it quickly led to. I wonder if he’s thinking the same thing.

“You know what being here reminds me of?” I ask, stepping backwards on to the dance floor. I don’t care if anyone can see us right now. All I can see is Caleb. In a sea of fishes, he’s a shark. A beautiful, one of a kind shark. So damn beautiful. The way he looks at me, his eyes scanning me from head to toe, makes me feel like nothing else matters. Can’t believe all of his attention is on me. I just want to keep it like that for as long as possible.
