Love Locked In – Toni Aleo

Sadie asks, snipping her hair. “There was no sleeping,” I say, waggling my brows. Then I point around the room. “All you people have dirty minds. We stayed up talking the whole night. It was awesome. It was everything, and it felt so easy. I like him. A lot,” I admit softly. “And we talk all the time, like, text every single chance, yet he hasn’t asked me out. I’ve even given him openings, but nothing.”

“Maybe he’s not into you,” Sadie says, and I give her a dark look. “Don’t put that negative into the world.” “Yeah, Sadie. Be kind,” Mom chides, but Sadie just smirks. She’s a bit of an asshole. Willa blows a strand of her blond waves out of her eyes and gives me a look. “He’s shy, Mags. You’re gonna have to just straight up ask him out.”

I bite my lip. “I don’t think he’s shy. I think he’s hesitant, and I don’t know why. We really haven’t talked about his past relationships. Maybe he’s been burned.” “So, ask,” Willa suggests. Like I hadn’t thought of that. “Maybe I will. I did say I was going to bring him a loaf of bread.” “You told him you were coming here?” Willa asks, raising a brow at me. “Yes. I’m not kidding when I say we talk constantly.” “Does he talk about his family?” Mom asks, and I lean on my elbows.

“Yeah, he has a sister. Both his parents have passed.” Mom makes a face. “Aw, how sad. Tell him I’ll be his mom.” “Ew, no. I don’t want to date my brother.” I gag, and she gives me an exasperated look. “How old are you?” I smirk as Sadie rolls her eyes at me. “Are we still doing a Galentine’s thing since you are on the cusp of having a boy toy?” Now I’m the one rolling my eyes at my sister. Before I can answer, my mom says, “I don’t even know why you’re doing that.

It’s like a hate against the traditional holiday, which is highly celebrated here.”
