It was on the tip of Brian’s tongue to encourage her costume store idea, but then he realized that he might get stuck putting on a football jersey and pads, and no. That was the stuff of nightmares. He took the beer from Valerie and drank it fast. Bubbles traveled up the length of the inverted bottle as he gulped. “Yeah, we’re lucky it’s not terrible,” he said, smiling and wiping his chin. “It could’ve been Wham.”
Duran Duran, he could live with.
“A—” Brian had opened his mouth to say something else, but he got waylaid as his back hit the door and she kissed him, turning the sound into an ‘mmph’ and whatever had been on his mind was forgotten. His beer bottle clanked on the metal door. Did he feel warm? “I do now,” he said, giving her a wide-eyed look and laugh. She had a way of making him feel new at all of this. “Hang on.” He spit out his gum and stuck it to the side of the beer bottle, then bent to set it on the roof. Yeah, a real Casanova move, he thought, but he didn’t want to choke on his gum the next time she took him off guard. Brian stood back up. “C’mere,” was whispered as he took her face between his hands and stared at her from close range. Those pretty green eyes. Her mouth, full before they even kissed. He leaned in and touched her nose.

“There is nothing I don’t want to do to you.”
Thumbs stroked her cheeks.
“Just say go.”
