14 I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE

''I take it Ryan told you about the party?''

''He did, but I'm curious as to why you didn't ask me yourself. We literally stay in the same room.''

His lips curve. ''If I asked you, would you have agreed?''

No, but he doesn't need to know that. ''Depends on how you asked, Jason.''

He moves from his bed with the duvet in tow and kneels in front of my bed where I'm plopped on. I give him a confused look but he just grins. ''What are you doing?'' I ask.

''I'm asking you nicely.''

''By kneeling? Is this some sort of proposal.''

He licks his lips and looks at me, making my insides sommersault. What is up with me today? Days ago, I swore I was going to pummel this boy to death, but now he's making my heart skip a beat. I need to reel this, whatever it is, in or else I'd be in serious hot water.
