“Yet, you still like me,” I say with a grin.
“I have no idea why,” she mutters.
“I can think of a couple of reasons,” I say, waggling my brows as I gaze over at her.
“Are you…” She starts. “Never mind.”
“Don’t make this weird,” I tell her defensively, yanking my hand away. “It’s okay to like my dick.” I grin at her, and she blushes.
Her phone rings, cutting off the discussion. I pull it out of my pocket and hand it to her. I see Jack on the caller ID.
“Answer it; the night can only go up after that call,” I tell her.
“You’re not kidding,” she mutters before answering. “Why hello, big brother!”
“Are you fucking Caine Montgomery?” her brother yells.
“Hi Jack!” I say joyfully.
Mikayla turns a dark shade of pink.
“Sorry, sweetheart,” I say in apology. “See, things can only get better after this call!”
I touch her face, caressing her cheek with my thumb. She gives me a simple smile and nods.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Mikayla
This is both the best and worst day ever! How can both happen simultaneously? I mean seriously! I’m about to get whiplash over here. Why can’t I just have one day where my fucking feelings and family don’t make me insane!
My head is spinning!
“Hello to you too,” I say in responseto my brother.
“Mom called.”
“Of course she did.”
I laugh and look at Caine. We said that at the same time!
He smiles at me, grabs my free hand and kisses it.
So many feelings!
“Seriously?” Jack asks over the phone. “So, you guys have been together a week and are already finishing each other’s sentences?”
“There’s no right way to answer that question.”
I look out the window and see that Caine just got on the highway. He’s not… is he? I mean… that would be beyond romantic and sweet.
“Are you two together now?” Jack asks angrily.
“You’re acting like I’m dating your best friend,” I defend. “Why are you being so weird?”
“He’s older than me!” Jack yells.
“Is that supposed to mean something?” Caine asks. “How old are you?”
