As much as she ignores me, it’s like she has me hypnotized. Why couldn’t I just find another respectable girl to bring on these dates with me?

You don’t want another girl here with you. You want Everleigh.

Shut up.

It’s the truth, face it.

No.

Damn thoughts are such a bitch sometimes. Can they be any less intrusive?

“Are you having fun?”

“Actually, I am.”

“Good. Better than the frat house, for sure.”

“Thanks again for everything in the basket you made me. I wore the shoes the past few days and I was nervous my feet were going to hurt from having to break them in but nope. The shoes are more supportive than I expected. Makes sense why everyone raves about them.”

“It was more Lennox than me. You’ve got a good friend in her.”

Everleigh nods. “I know. I should help Holden do something special for her.”

“I bet she’d love that.”

“How was the rest of your week?”

“Are we suddenly talking like friends now?”

Ev scowls. “Just answer the question.”

“It was alright. I got one good surf morning in. Besides that, the waves were crappy, and my classes were boring. Today’s a lot better, though.”

“Why’s that?”

“Being here with you, enjoying your company. Seeing Lennox and Holden happy. It’s a good night.”

Her face softens and she looks at me in a way I haven’t seen before. Like she might actually like me instead of tolerating me.

“You’re cute.” She looks away after the words tumble out and giggles.

“What was that?” I tease, knowing damn well I heard her perfectly clear.

“That’s cute.”

She definitely said you’re cute, but I let it go. What’s a little harmless flirting? It’s all make pretend right?

You know what’s not pretend though? The way we’re looking at one another right now. I can’t tear my eyes away from hers and my heart thumps loudly in my chest.

I wonder what she’s thinking, wonder if she feels the sexual tension in the air too or if it’s just me thinking with my horny dick.

Alcohol. We need more alcohol.

“You want to do a few shots with me?”

Ev pauses for a minute then nods. “Okay, fine. But I don’t want to puke tonight.”

“Got it. Be right back.”
