unable to keep the hope out of my voice.
    “No, I told you I don’t date,” she says firmly. “But we can keep hanging out, and I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to some good old-fashioned dirty fun.”
    “Hey now, my mama told me that nobody’s going to buy the cow if they can get the milk for free. So I’m not giving you any of my milk unless you go on a date with me. It’s my only bargaining chip.”
    “You’ve got to be kidding me.” she looks at me with one eyebrow raised
    “Not kidding darlin’. Those are my rules.”
    “So you’ve never had casual sex?” Her voice is full of disbelief.
    “I never said that,” I reply with a laugh. “I don’t do that anymore.”
    “Why not?”
    “That’s a story for a different day, I think.” I’m not ready to tell her about Maya yet, I don’t want to freak her out too much on our first non-date.

Chapter 5
Remy
    By the time Tuesday rolls around again, I’m debating whether or not to go to my scheduled tutoring session with Dex. Friday night was not a date, but I did have fun. I expected a call or text from him, but Saturday and Sunday came and went without a word. By Monday, I felt like a loser for waiting by my phone all weekend for a guy. I’d even considered texting him, but I felt like that might come off as too desperate or needy. I never text guys, ever.
    So, it’s two minutes to noon and I’m standing outside of the Tutoring Center, gnawing my bottom lip in indecision. I could walk in there, not even mention Friday night or the fact that he hasn’t called, and rub it in his face that I don’t care. If I don’t go, he might think I’m upset that he didn’t call. I guess that decides it. I push my shoulders back and strut into the building with false confidence. Fake it ‘til you make it; that’s a thing people say, isn’t it?
    “Remy.” His eyes light up as I enter the room and my stupid traitor of a heart starts pounding in my chest.
    “Dex.” I nod at him and maintain a mask of nonchalance.
    “Listen, I meant to call or text you this weekend. I had a great time hanging out Friday. I’d love to do it again sometime this week if you’re free at all,” he says, his voice laced with sincerity. Damn him, I was ready to write him off as a jerk and move on with my life.
    “Sure.” I nod curtly, still trying to keep my poker face.
    “You’re mad at me?” It’s more of a statement than a question.
    I roll my eyes and pull out my calculus book and homework for this week.
    “Why would I be mad at you?” I challenge.
    “I would assume because I didn’t call or text you, but you didn’t call or text either. So, it’s not like I was ignoring you or blowing you off. I was out of town Saturday and Sunday,” he explains in an irritated tone.
    I sigh, I guess he’s got a point. It’s not like I should expect a call anyways. I’d been hoping for one though.
    “You’re right,” I say dropping the icy edge to my voice. “I was just being pissy. We should definitely hang out soon.”
    And with that we get down to our tutoring session. Dex must be some sort of genius because, by the end of the hour, I actually understand what’s going on in calculus.
    “Thank you so much, I might actually have a chance of passing the test next week!”
    “You’re a good student.”
    I shove my stuff into my bag and stand. We look at each other awkwardly for a minute.
    “So I don’t know if you’d be into it, but there’s this cool paintball arena not too far that Asher and I go to sometimes. I thought we could go too. Make it a group event,” he suggests running his hands through his delectable locks again.
    “That sounds fun, but I have to warn you that Nikki is competitive as hell.”
    “So am I. I’ll book it for this weekend.”
    My smile falls a little against my will Not that paintball doesn’t sound fun, but I don’t want to wait until the weekend to hang out again. God, I am such a girl.
    “But maybe we could hang out sooner than
