lavender oil.   Nothing expensive.”
     
    “I like it.   It suits you.”   After a moment he asked, “So do you have a part time job?”
     
    A little musical laugh escaped her lips.   Her pouty, pink, kissable lips.   “You mean besides Lexa?”
     
    “Huh?”   Kyle realized he’d been so caught in her laugh and her lips that he completely didn’t hear what she said.
     
    “It’s nothing.   No, I don’t have a job.   My parents don’t believe in them.   My job has always been to look out for Lexa and I will fulfill that duty with my life.”
     
    His eyes rose to meet her wide gray-blue ones.   That had been an odd response.   Odd phrasing and, more importantly, there had been an odd intensity to it.   As if, Lyssa risked her life on a regular basis to save Lexa.   He ran his thumb over her cheek and she blushed.   At least this time she didn’t pull back.
     
    “What about once you finish school?   What are your plans?”
     
    Lyssa looked away and sighed, “I don’t want to talk about that.”
     
    Kyle arched a brow, “Why not?”
     
    “Because so many things can change the future.   You think what you want is right around the corner, but what you don’t know could kill you.   I like living in the now as much as I can.   And right now I just… want to spend time with you.”
     
    Her skin turned several shades of red and she looked away, shy and embarrassed. Now that was real progress.   She wanted to spend time with him.   Maybe before the day was out he’d get her to commit to date number two.   He’d stay a little more local for date two, however.
     
    For a long time they just stared at one another.   Nothing else mattered except learning about this strange girl.   She was beautiful.   No, more than that she was completely hot.   But, that wasn’t what was so attractive about her.   There was fire in her eyes, which she tried to hide behind a cold exterior.   He wanted that fire.   He wanted to see her light up like the sun in the morning sky.
     
    “Forty-two.”
     
    He gently traced a finger over her brow.
     
    “Forty-two!   Hey Forty-two!”
     
    Suddenly, he started.   She looked away and the spell was broken.   “I guess I’d better go get our pizza.   I’ll be right back.”
     
    When he came back, he could see the barrier was up again.   He was disappointed, but such a thing was to be expected.   She worked hard to keep people out and he had gotten his foot in the door.   Everything in him wanted to try to break the door down.   Instead, he smiled and sat across from her.   She dove into the pizza and ate as if she hadn’t eaten in a while.
     
    Smiling, he started in as well and they ate in silence.   It didn’t feel awkward, however.   It felt natural.   As if they had eaten alone together a thousand times before.   When her eyes met his, she stilled for a moment.   Then she smiled and grabbed another slice of pizza.
     
    “When do I find out where we are going?”
     
    “When we get there, Miss Nosy.”
     
    Grinning, she grabbed the last slice of pizza and devoured it.   Her eyes were on him and there was a gleam of amusement in them.   Damn, he just liked her.   Even when she was acting like a smartass know it all in class.   He found her lack of caring about what people thought about her hot too.
     
    He paid their bill as they headed out of the pizza place.   Once in the car, he headed on to their final destination for the day.   He managed to keep it a secret.   That is, he kept it a secret until she saw a sign.
     
    “New Hampshire Motor Speedway?”
     
    Kyle grinned, “Sorry it isn’t NASCAR today.   It’s all vintage car…”
     
    She screamed before he could even finish the word cars.   Grinning from ear to ear, she leaned over and hugged him as he drove.   He knew she liked fast cars.   He had a feeling she liked racing in general by the way she had pulled out of the driveway.   Kyle glowed in his
