voice.
     
    Oh, wow.
     
    Me:  Call me.
     
    A second later my phone rang.  “Hi,” I answered, not bothering to hide my grin since he couldn’t see me.  “Hey,” he said in his low sexy voice.  I bit my lower lip and tried to think of something to say.  I didn’t need to worry, Wyatt spoke first.  “Thanks for letting me call.  I miss you,” he said simply.  “I miss you too,” I said softly.  There was a moment of silence before he asked me about my exams.  We chatted about that for a while and then I told him about Lindsay’s plans.
    “So, Lindsay is making me go out tomorrow night to celebrate the end of the school year.  And I was wondering if you wanted to come too?” I said in a rush.  “I mean you don’t have to.  It’s no big deal.  I just don’t really love going out and I thought it might be more fun if you were there.”
    “ Taryn,” he interrupted my babbling.
    “Yeah?”
    “I’d love to go.”
    “You would?” I said trying not to sound too hopeful and pathetic.  He chuckled, “Of course.  I love to spend time with you, no matter what we do.”
    “We’re going to Roxy’s on campus at 9:00.”
    “I’ll be there….I should probably let you go so you can get a good n ight sleep before your exams.”
    “Yeah, I g uess so.  Thanks for calling.”
    “Thanks for letting me call.”  I didn’t want to say good-bye and judging by the silence, Wyatt didn’t either.  “Good night, Taryn.  Sweet dreams.”  I smiled knowing I would be dreaming of him tonight.  “Good night, Wyatt,” I whispered before reluctantly hanging up.
    My exams went great, and I took a nice long nap in the afternoon before it was time to get ready to go out.  I had to laugh when I came back to my room after showering and saw that Lindsay had already picked out my outfit and laid it out on my bed.  Sometimes I felt like her life size Barbie doll.  I spent extra time curling my hair and applying makeup before putting on a short flirty black skirt that showed off my long legs and a sparkly white tank top.  I was just slipping on my strappy black heels that added an extra 4” when Lindsay came in.  She looked glamorous as always in a red halter dress that contrasted with her light blond hair.  “You look awesome, Taryn!  Wyatt is going to love that skirt.”
    “I don’t even know i f he’s going to show up, Linz.”  Lindsay rolled her eyes and she grabbed her purse and checked her reflection one last time.  “Of course he’ll be there, Taryn.  He said he’d be there, and he’s totally into you.”  I followed her out of the apartment and hoped she was right – both about him meeting us tonight and being totally into me.  I really didn’t like going out and I knew I would be more comfortable if he was there.  In the short time I had known him, I had really come to feel safe with him.
    We walked the five blocks to the club, and it was already packed when we walked in.  Lindsay recognized a few people she knew from school and we stopped to talk for a few minutes.  After Lindsay was pulled o ut to the dance floor by some guy named Chad, I made my way up to the bar to get a drink.  I was sitting on a bar stool, sipping my Cosmo and people watching when I saw Ryan walk in.
    His eyes swung around the club and immediately landed on me sitting at the bar.  As he made his way through the crowd towards me, I hopped off the bar stool and looked around desperately for an escape.  Just before Ryan could reach me I felt a strong arm come around my waist and Wyatt’s low voice in my ear, “Wanna dance?”
    “Yes, please.”  I breathed a sigh of relief, both for being saved from talking to Ryan and that Wyatt had showed up.  He took my hand and led me through the crowd to the opposite corner of the dance floor.  The music was loud, so we didn’t try to talk.  It was a slow song playing, and Wyatt pulled me close with his hands on my hips.  I ran my hands up his arms and held
