Melanie snatched the phone out of her hand. “Hi. It’s me. I’ll call you when we get home, okay?”
“Okay,” Gabe said. “And Mel?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks for giving me your real number.”
“Thanks for actually calling me.”
“I missed your voice.”
She smiled. Her heart fluttered and foolish tears prickled her eyes. He might not look like one on the outside, but on the inside, Gabe was a total sweetheart. “I wish I could talk right now, but I’m a road hazard when I use the phone and drive.”
“Drive safe,” he said, “but call as soon as you can.”
“I will. I can’t wait to see you again.”
“Me too, baby. Me too.”
She hung up and knew she was grinning all goofy, but she couldn’t help it. After only one night, she found herself falling hopelessly for a rock star. She was so glad she’d given him a chance, that her fear and ignorance hadn’t gotten in the way of getting to know a remarkable man. A remarkably intelligent, talented, gorgeous, and inventive geek of a man.
Gabriel Banner was perfect: tattoos, piercing, mohawk and all.
