“Holy shit.”

Tadhg’s feet came to an abrupt stop the minute his eyes landed on a beautiful girl, with the face of an angel, sitting on the wall at the entrance of the school.

“What?” Joey demanded, looking around. “Where’s the fire?”

“There.” Struck dumb at the sight of her, Tadhg pointed to the girl. “Her.”

“I don’t know her,” Shannon noted. “She must be new.”

Looking like nothing his eyes had ever seen, he watched as she sucked on a Chupa Chups lollypop, entirely uninterested in the lad attempting to talk to her, while her long legs dangled from the wall.

“Jesus Christ.” Tadhg blew out a breath. “I don’t care if you’re in a relationship. You can’t deny that girl is the best-looking thing your eyes have ever seen.”

It was at the exact moment in time that your gaze flicked to his.

The minute your eyes collided, he felt a pang of heat shoot straight to his chest.

Holy fuck.

When Tadhg met your gaze head on, he fully-expected you to blush and look away.

You didn’t.

Instead, you tilted your head to one side and studied Tadhg with a similar look to the one he was sure that he was sporting.

Arching your brow, you slowly removed the lollypop from your mouth, and gave him an expectant look.

His gaze flicked questioningly to the dark-haired lad still trying and failing to garner your attention before returning to your face.

With a defiant tilt of your chin, you gave him a look that said what-are-you-waiting-for?

Well shit.

What was he waiting for?

Joey and Shannon steered their younger brother towards Tommen’s entrance, away from you.

“So, are they your keeper, or can you think for yourself?” A female voice asked, and Tadhg spun around to find you standing in front of him– and holy fuck if you weren’t even better looking close up.

You were, hands down, the best-looking thing his eyes had ever seen. “I can definitely think for myself.”

“You saw me back there,” You stated evenly.

“I did.”

“You kept walking.”

Tadhg nodded like a fool. “I did.”

“Don’t do that again.”

Fuck him. “I won’t.”
