Leighton: Isn’t that what you’re going for?
No. I just don’t know how to be anything else.
Chapter 5
Leighton
My cell is flush with texts from Dean.
Dean: You’re not doing this.
Dean: It’s too stupid. Even for me.
Dean: He’s still in love with her.
Dean: He’s gonna break your heart without even realizing it.
Leighton: I want to help him.
Dean: You want to kiss him.
Leighton: It can be both.
Dean: No. It can’t. ‘Cause he doesn’t want to kiss you.
Leighton: Ryan’s your brother. You should look out for him.
Dean: I am. After he breaks your heart, you’ll leave, and he won’t have anyone.
Leighton: And you’ll miss me?
Dean: Don’t do this, Leigh.
Leighton: I’m not. He’s still saying no.
Dean: But you’ll convince him to say yes.
Leighton: How do you figure?
Dean: You convinced me to hire you.
Leighton: It wasn’t hard.
Dean: ‘Cause I was desperate to replace Ally. He’s desperate to prove this shit. Same deal.
Dean was a regular at Rock Bottom forever. We weren’t friends, exactly, but we were friendly. I knew he needed help. When he found out I needed a new job, he hired me right away.
At the time, I thought it was because he wanted to get in my pants.
But now…
Well, I’m still not exactly sure of his intentions.
Leighton: You can admit you’ll miss me.
Dean: Course I’ll miss you. You have great tits.
Leighton: You’ll miss me. Not my tits.
