Free My Heart Says Yes by Ashley Blake Page A

caught me
off guard. What did he think about that? What did I think about
that?  I thought it was a great idea and I thought it would be something really
fun to do especially since I really liked Jack and Mary so much.
    Caleb looked at me and
whispered to me under his breath. “Is that okay with you?”
    Was he
kidding?  
“Of course, it sounds fun.”  I whispered so that Jack would not hear me.
    “That sounds like it
would be a lot of fun, but I’ve dated a few women in my time and I think I
still remember how to take a woman out on a proper date.  But thank you for the
offer of coming with us to make it more comfortable.  I’ll ask her for her
phone number when I see her at the facility in a couple of weeks.  You two will
be there right?  I want to give you updates on what she says when I ask her out
on a date.”
    “I don’t know about
Caleb, but I will definitely be there Jack. I am so excited for you and I can’t
wait to hear what happens!”
    “Don’t you worry Jack, I
will be there too, and if you need any advice you can always come to me.”
    "I think you may need
to switch that around son, I'm the one with more experience, remember?  If you need any advice you can always come to me .”  Jack was smiling as he ribbed
Caleb.
    We all laughed at what
Jack said and then we pulled up to his building and he sat there for a minute
before saying something.
    “Thank you so much for
the ride Caleb, and Emma sweetheart, it was a pleasure to see you again.  Caleb,
you be sure to take care of my friend.” 
    I smiled at him.  “It was
nice to see you again too Jack.”
    He opened the door and
stood at Caleb’s window that was rolled down.  “You know, you might want to
think about taking your own advice.”  He then winked at Caleb and told us he would
see soon.
    Caleb chuckled and then
turned to look at me as we waited to make sure Jack made it inside.
    “Jack thinks I should
take my own advice.”  He turned that sexy smile on me and I melted.  “What do
you think?” 
    What do I
think?  I think I want to kiss you until the sun sets, I think I want to feel
your hands and tongue explore my body, and I think you should definitely take
Jack’s advice.
    My eyes held his and I
tried to look demure as I answered him.
    “I think you know the
answer to that.”
    His smile widened as he
started the jeep and took off, but he didn’t say anything.
    After about a minute he
finally spoke but it wasn’t what I had hoped.
    “I just realized that I
have no idea where you live. Where am I going?”
    I gave him directions to
my place and we rode in silence for about a minute before he spoke again.
    “Do you mind if I come
upstairs to use your bathroom when we get to your place?”
    I was so happy that both
Kelly and I were neat freaks and that I had made my bed that morning.  Caleb
Morgan was actually going to be in my place.  I know I kept saying this but; is
this really my life?
    “Of course you can come
up. My roommate isn’t home so you won’t get to meet her this time, maybe next
time.”
    He raised eyebrows and
glanced at me. “Next time? So you want there to be a next time, huh?”
    I really had to start
filtering my thoughts a little bit better and holding my tongue.  I tried to
brush it off as a casual comment that didn’t mean anything.
    “Oh, I just meant that
if you ever happened to give me a ride home again from the center and you needed
to use my bathroom, maybe you would meet my roommate at that time.  No big
deal, don’t read anything into it.”
    “What if I want to read
something into it?” 
    Boy he was good at this
whole flirting thing and he was so damned sexy!
    I sat there trying to
think of something to say when he pointed out the window.
    I was relieved to be
home and to have the break in the question, because I didn’t know how to answer
what he had just asked.
    “Is this your place?”
    “Yep, this is it.”
    The stars must have been
aligned because we found a
