My Heart Says Yes by Ashley Blake

stunned and didn’t
know what to say since my body was burning for him.  I looked at him completely
confused about why he wanted to stop.
    He gently ran a finger
down my cheek as he looked into my eyes.
    “I want our first time
to be special Emma, you deserve that.” 
    He smiled at me and
gently kissed me with his soft lips.  He then leaned back a little and looked
at me with his gorgeous dark eyes.
    “I don’t know what it is
about you, but I am completely under your spell.”
    I smiled at him and
realized that he was actually a gentleman.  What was wrong with me?  Here I was
ready to jump into bed with a guy I had only met a few weeks before and had
only really talked to a couple of times!  But he was so damned sexy and
good-looking that I was willing to let my morals fly out of the window.
    “Good, that means I can
have you when I want you.”  I lightly touched the tip of his nose with my
finger.  “We are going to be amazing together, you’ll see.”
    I liked this sexier,
confident side of me.  Caleb was bringing out feelings in me that I didn’t even
know existed.  I felt like the sexiest woman in the world when I was with him
and I wanted so badly to show him what a good time he would have with me in
bed, but he was right.  This wasn’t the best way to have our first time
together, so I decided I would be patient and wait, and take a cue from Caleb
for when the time would be right.
    He hugged me tight as he
looked into my eyes.  “I look forward to it.”  He kissed me one last time and
then said he should take off.
    “Thanks for letting me
use your bathroom.”
    “Any time. So do you
have anything good planned for the rest of the weekend?”
    “I have a project for
school that I need to work on so that’s going to occupy most of my time this
weekend. What about you?”
    “Kelly and I are going
to grab some dinner later and then I have studying to do.  Tomorrow I have to
meet with my partner and we have to work on a class project that’s due Friday,
we’re giving a presentation.  So the rest of my weekend will be devoted to
school unfortunately.”
    “I hear you on that.  Are
you guys studying at school or someone’s apartment?”
    “School, we’re going to
be in the room that we have our class in so we can practice and feel
comfortable with our set up since it has a huge round table that we all sit
around.”
    “I know that room, it’s
next to the faculty lounge, right?”
    “Yeah, how did you know
that?”
    “I have been a guest
speaker at your school a couple of times and that is the only room with such a
huge round table.”
    “Wow, how funny, small
world.”
    “That’s for sure.  Hey,
I just realized that I don’t have your phone number.  Do you want to give it to
me so I can put it in my phone?”
           This is a very good sign.
    I gave Caleb my number
and he said he would give me a call soon.  I walked him to my door and opened
it for him.  As he walked out, he stopped and turned to look at me.
    “Thanks for a great
day.”
    I smiled at him. 
“Ditto.”
    After he left, I went to
my room, flopped down on my bed and screamed with excitement into my pillow. 
Then I turned over and lay on my back, staring at the ceiling with a big goofy
grin on my face.
    I cannot
believe this day!  Caleb Morgan likes me ?  What?!   It felt
like I was in an alternate universe and it also felt really awesome.  I had
never been happier in my life.

CHAPTER SIX
     
    Kelly came home around
7:30 and her eyes were as wide as saucers when I told her about my day.
    “You are kidding!  Emma
you guys are so meant to be!  So, is he a good kisser?”  She was hanging onto
my every word like a tabloid reporter would devour a scoop about a celebrity.
    “Kelly, as long as
you’ve known me, have I ever done the kiss and tell thing?”
    She pouted like a
schoolgirl.  “No, you haven’t. But this is special because you never been with
a hottie like Caleb.”
    “Okay, well that
