up again, as if wishing Colin was still standing in front of him.
                  “Yeah, but it’s no big deal. It was a long time ago. He just took me by surprise , is all.” As did the feel ings she’d had when his hand touched her. It didn’t seem fair that the one person she never wanted to see again was the one person who could set her body on f ire with one innocent touch.
                  “Al l right, Babe. You know that I’m here for you anytime you need me. If you want to tel l him we’re together, feel free, ” Kent said with his cocky little grin lighting up his face.
                  Briana touched her hand to his cheek and smil ed, wishing she fe l t the things for Kent that she’d felt for Colin.
                  “Thanks, but I’ll be okay. I don’t want to cramp your style and r uin your chance with the ladies,” she responded playfully, trying to soften her negative response.
                  Kent looked down at her seriously, his heart in his eyes. “Bree, you know, all you have to do is say the word, and there will be no other ladies.”
                  She nodded , wishing she could give him the answer he wanted.
                  He smiled again, all seriousness leaving his face. “You still want me to pick you up at one tomorrow?”
                  “You su re you still want to go?” she asked, giving him an out if he wanted one. “If you have other plans, I’ll understand.”
                  “Nope,” he replied. “I’m all yours . ”
                  “Okay. One o’clock will be perfect.” She tip toed up to give him a quick kiss before turning to go back to the kitchen. “I’ll see you then.”
                 
                 
     
                 
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Six
     
     
                  Briana and Kent were among the first people to arrive at the gravel pits. They parked along the s ide of the dirt road and unloaded the stuff from the car. Kent grabbed the charcoal grill and started walking.
                  “Hey, Bree, i f you can bring the bags and blanket, I’ll come ba ck for the food and charcoal,” h e grunted back at her, as he carried his heavy load.
                  “Okay,” s he r eplied, grabbing the backpacks and following him down the lane.

                  Kent walked up to their usual spot by the water and set the grill down. He turned and st opped to kiss Briana’s forehead before heading back to the car to get the rest of their stuff.
                  She set up their blanket and put their backpacks down to hold it in place. It was a p retty hot day already, so she pulled her hair back into a pon ytail and put her sunglasses on , then applied some sunscreen and chapstick.
