Excerpt 2
I hadn’t expected that. And I wasn’t sure I wanted to
respond. The old me, the good girl from New Jersey, wouldn’t have choked. She
would have told Charlie to take a hike. But the new me didn’t want to let him
go.
What was it about this strange boy with greased hair that
attracted me so?
“What’s the matter, New Jersey? Cat got your tongue?”
My face flushed. “Why don’t you quit asking me ridiculous
questions and do something that you’re good at?”
“What’s that?”
“Drive, Teddy Boy.”
One of Charlie’s brows tipped upward in a cocky
salute. His knuckles whitened as he gripped the T- shifter, while rivers of
veins formed on his muscular forearm. With a look of steely determination
etched on his face, he slammed the shifter into first gear and jammed the
accelerator pedal to the floor. The car rocketed forward. My head slammed
against the seatback, and I dug my nails into the black tuck and roll
upholstery.
“You scared, New Jersey?” Charlie asked, his eyes aflame.
“No,” I said as the blood left my face.
“Then hang on, baby, ’cause you’re about to
go for the ride of your life.”
