to the pull of our attraction.
    The sensitive mouth that I’d watched as he’d sung all night moved surely ove r mine, tasting and exploring while allowing me to do the same. One of his strong hands circled my waist and I ran my hand up his arm until my fingers brushed across his shoulder and around his neck.
    At this rate, we weren’t going to do much talking, but we were certainly communicating . The only thing distracting me was a familiar song that played over and over again. I chose to ignore it, because there was no way I was breaking away from this kiss before he did.
    “Is that your phone?” Colby asked, murmuring against my lips , teasing them still further.
    “Uh, yeah.”
    “Do you need to answer it?”
    I sighed. “Probably.”
    Colby pressed another kiss on my cheek and sat back in his seat. I fished my phone out of the black hole at the bottom of my backpack and checked the missed calls. Several were from Olivia, but those weren’t the ones I was worried about. “Oh, dang . It’s my mom. Sorry, but I’ve got to call her back.”
    “Of course. Hey, I’m going to drive around while you’re talking, ok? The rest of the guys are coming out to their cars now and I don’t want them to give us a hard time.”
    I nodded absently. My mom picked up after the first ring.
    “ Rylie , where are you? I’ve called you I-don’t-know-how-many-times. It’s past your curfew.”
    I glanced at the clo ck on the dashboard. “What? My curfew isn’t till 11:00.”
    “Not on weeknights.”
    “Oh, s orry. I’m never out on weeknights so I forgot. ”
    “Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
    “I guess I didn’t hear it over the band. My ringer wasn’t turned up very loud.”
    “Well, where are you? And don’t tell me you’re with Olivia, because she just called the house wanting to talk to you.”
    I closed my eyes in frustration. Thanks Olivia. “No, I was with her, but I’m with Colby Adams now -you know, Marcy Adam’s stepson. He asked if I wanted to stay for the rest of rehearsal, so I did. He’s driving me home right now.”
    I glanced over at Colby and saw the disappointment on his face. I tried to apologize with my expression as I listened to my mom, but I was as bummed as he was. I was so not ready to go home.
    “Well, we’ll talk about your punishment when you get h ere . I don’t appreciate you changing your plans and going off with other people without even telling me – even if it is Marcy Adam’s stepson.”
    From the hint of sarcasm in her voice , I could tell she wasn’t falling for my attempt to make her f eel better about this. “Sorry, M om. I messed up. I just wasn’t thinking and I didn’t hear the phone.”
    When I was fi nally able to hang up by assuring her that Colby was driving me straight home, I hung up and glared at the phone. Then I looked over at Colby. “Just for the record, that’s the last time I’m checking my phone when you’re kissing me.”
    H is laugh lighten ed the expression that had settled on his face . “So, I guess that’s it for tonight . Where do you live?”
    I told him and he headed in that dir ection. “So, do you still want to talk ?” I asked.
    “ Yeah, but I’d like to do it when we have some time. Plus I’d like to be able to look at you. ”
    “Well, I guess choir is out. What do you suggest? ”
    “How would you feel about a date? ”
    “A date? ”
    Colby chuckled, but there was a nervous quiver in it . “Why do you sound so surprised? After what just happened, I thought you might be willing to give it a try.”
    “Yeah. I’d love to. I guess my mind hadn’t gone that far. I mean, it wasn’t too long ago I thought you hated me.”
    “It also wasn’t too long ago that you went all dreamy eyed every time you saw Brian Gibbons.”
    He had a point. “Well, that’s over. I can’ t believe it was just, like, a week ago that I was crazy excited to be going t o prom with him, and now I’m racking my brain trying to think
