“Am I Potential Husband Material yet?” Wade asked from the corner of his mouth, taking his eyes off the teacher momentarily to look at Emily.
She didn’t look back, but continued writing her notes. School was more important than Wade at that moment, no matter how dashing and terrifically awful he was.
“So no?” he asked, leaning toward her slightly. “C’mon, Em. Why am I so bad?” Other than his arrogance, vanity, rudeness, and persistence, of course.
Emily flushed slightly. “I’m not answering your question, Wade. You shouldn’t talk to a lady like that.” Pause. “May I borrow a sheet of paper?”
Wade opened his binder and ripped out a sheet of paper. If he had to use bribes to get another kiss from her, so be it. It wasn’t as if he was above that sort of thing, after all. He would do anything to get another run up the Sleeping with Emily Post ladder. Kisses were just the first step.
"Kiss me again," he demanded simply. "Then you can have all the paper you need. The whole damn notebook, if you want." He didn't do anything but flirt with and stare at her this period, anyway.
She gasped, "Wade Thacker! That's so impolite. I am a lady."
"A lady that needs paper," Wade teased. He leaned in again, blatantly ignoring the teacher, who was still droning in the front of the class. "You've done it before, Em."
Her eyes narrowed and she looked around the classroom sneakily. "The
whole notebook?"
"Binder, too, if that's what you want. And there are some condoms in my wallet, but I think I should keep those, just in case." Wink. Wade sometimes wished he wasn't so damn amazing.
Emily blushed again and frowned. "Fine. I want your notebook." She tilted her head toward him slightly. "And I'm just doing this because I need to take notes."
"After the kiss," he said, making their lips meet in the gap between desks. With a smile, into her mouth, Wade joked, "You know, only
trollops allow someone to pay them for kisses."
