Serena licked sauce off her finger and nodded. “Yeah, I’d bang you.”
“So would I, but…” I grinned at him, and Travis’s mouth fell open.
“Seriously? I don’t have to go out.”
“Yeah, but you might get obsessed with me, and I can’t have you giving me away by mooning over me in public. Besides, stalking one person at a time should be enough for you.”
Instantly, his eyes narrowed and he flashed me a finger. “Enjoy your trash food and romcoms, you lame-asses.”
He was out the door seconds later, and once it slammed shut behind him, Serena and I busted out laughing.
“That was mean,” she said as she grabbed another slice and curled her legs beneath her on the couch. “Aren’t you worried he’ll spill things if you’re a dick?”
“Nah. He’s got as many secrets as I do. The trust goes both ways.” I hoped.
“Hmm.” That was all she said as she picked a fallen piece of sausage off her lap and popped it in her mouth. I could practically see her thinking, and the longer she stayed quiet, studying me, the more questions I knew were coming.
I tossed the crust of my second slice in the box and reached for the remote to turn on a movie she’d like, but I’d barely started flipping through the channels before she broke the silence.
“Do you think you’ll ever want to spill your secrets?”
The question was so out of left field that I almost dropped the remote. “To who?”
She lifted a shoulder, looking anywhere but at me. “To whoever. Your other friends, for starters. And maybe…”
I narrowed my eyes. “Maybe what?”
“What if you find someone you want to spend your life with?”
Where the hell was this coming from? Had she caught wind that I’d been thinking about someone else lately? No, there was no way she could know that. And it wasn’t like I was thinking about forever.
“You know better than that,” I said. “But haveyoumet someone? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?”
“No, I?—”
“It’s that guy from Onyx, isn’t it? I saw him slip you his number.”
“Which I promptly threw in the trash, and you know it.”
I twisted slightly to face her, resting my elbow on the back of the couch. “What about that girl in your class, what’s her name…”
“Naya?”
“That’s the one.”
Serena shrugged. “What about her?”
“You tell me.”
“Preston, I’m not trying to get out of this. I’m just asking ifyou’restill happy with this arrangement.”
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Well, a lot of your friends have been finding, dare I say, love lately. Sometimes that can make things stir, make you want something like that yourself.”
“Love?” I chuckled. “I’m happy with just a hit-and-run.”
“Stop it.” She smacked me on the arm. “You know what I mean. I’ve seen the way you look at Donovan and Kelly. You want what they have.”
