Carly and her best friend Becca are ready to drop a nuclear bomb on summer. It’s the last one before reality sets in and they’re off on their own. Carly is ready to break the mold and stop being known as a goody-two-shoes. In order to get the ball rolling, she agrees to a double date with Gavin – her good-looking, yet moody, lab partner.
Gavin doesn’t have summer plans except to work at his two jobs and hang out in his room drawing. He likes to keep to himself, but lets his brother Nate talk him into going on a double date. Carly isn’t like the rest of the girls at school that drive him crazy. She doesn’t ask a lot of questions and seems to know when to give him the space he craves. Gavin always thought that she was beautiful, but he believes that relationships and love are a lost cause.
Will their date prove that summer love is right around the corner or will it be a dead end?

Carly
wasn’t the typical sexy girl who walked by in the hall every day at school—she
was a special kind of beautiful, the type of beautiful that took your breath
away. And at that very moment, I was in desperate need of an oxygen tank. Carly
didn’t seem to realize how beautiful she was, which was another turn-on. I am in serious trouble of breaking my own
promise.
She
cleared her throat, jolting me out of my trance. “Gavin, there’s another reason
why I’m glad you showed up tonight.”
“There
is?” I wasn’t sure where she was going with this, but I patiently waited for
her to continue.
“I’ve
wanted to apologize.”
“For
what?” I quickly racked by brain, but couldn’t think of anything she’d ever
done to warrant an apology.
“For the
way I acted on our date the other night. I was rude,” she winced. She looked
cute when she thought she’d done something wrong. I ran my finger across the
top of her nose.
“Girly,
don’t be sorry. I should’ve been supportive.” This was the first time she
hadn’t yelled at me for calling her that. Taking it as a positive sign, I
rambled on, “I was a total dickhead, and if anything, I owe you another date.”
The perfect lead-in. “Carly, will you go on a real date with me? And not a
double date, because I don’t want to share you with anyone.” Okay, I did it. I broke down and asked her
out when I’m not looking for anything. And anything with Carly would be
something. She’s not the type of girl who is known for one-night stands.
