That’s impossible. That car was going way too fast… Oh no, is this a coma-induced hallucination?” “No, sweetheart, this is very much real.” “That’s exactly what a figment of my comatose imagination would say.” “Do you want me to prove this is real?” I laugh. “Sure, go for it.” Shock fills me when he places his lips on mine. His mouth feels warm, wet, real. My conscious imagination was never this vivid. D**n, he’s a good kisser. I feel myself getting aroused. God, this is actually real. “Is that enough proof for you?” he whispers. I’m tempted to say, “No, I think you need to kiss me some more,” but I merely nod. less

I relax a little when I notice that he's wearing jeans. In my memory/dream/acid-induced hallucination, he was naked. Pink creeps into my cheeks."Is your head feeling okay?" he asks.When he sits next to me and caresses the back of my head, I freeze. He's so close to me. I can feel his warmth and smell him. He smells clean, like soap and laundry detergent. Not like the boys in my high school, who smelled like sweat and gym socks and dollar-store cologne.The ability to breathe escapes me as I look at his eyes.

The hot jock just called me cute!"What's your name?" he asks."Lucy Zhang?" I inwardly wince. I sound like I'm too dumb to know my own name."Lucy Zhang," he repeats, his deep, warm voice like hot chocolate.

His dad is a wealthy businessman who is friends with Bill Gates, and rumor has it that the NFL is desperately trying to sign him. According to Jane, who does give a s**t about football, Colin has the talent to be the next Tom Brady.Lord, he is handsome. Those blue eyes, messy-in-a-good-way dark brown hair, cheekbones that could cut glass... less
