“I told you!”
“I knew it too!”
“You absolutely did not!”
“I absolutely did!”
“Oh my God!”
They were both trying so hard not to yell that it somehow made it even funnier.
“What the hell are you girls doing in there?”Twister’s voice boomed from the other room.
All three of us froze.Tempi slapped a hand over her mouth, and Britta bit her lip so hard I thought she might draw blood.
Twister called again.“I said what the hell are you celebrating?”
I frantically waved both hands at Tempi.Don’t.Say.Anything.I mouthed silently.
She looked seconds away from bursting.
My brain completely shut off.“I...”I squeaked.Think.Think.“I poured my coffee without spilling it!”
Silence.Britta snorted, and Tempi stared at me.
Then Britta completely lost it as she bent forward, laughing so hard she had to brace both hands on her knees.Tempi slapped her palm against her forehead.“That...”She shook her head.“...was the best thing you could come up with?”
“It was all I had!”I sighed.
I even started laughing because it was such a terrible lie.My brain had apparently become mush after kissing Wheels.
Tempi leaned close.“The guys are going to figure it out.”
“They are not,” I whispered.
“They will,” she laughed.
“They’re men,” I said as if that explained everything.
She shrugged.“They aren’t nearly as perceptive as we are, but they are going to figure it out.”
Britta bumped her hip into Tempi.“Yeah.”She pointed at her.“Because you’re going to tell them.”
Tempi gasped dramatically.“I would never.”
“You absolutely would.”
“I would not.”
Britta crossed her arms.“If Twister asks.”
Tempi paused.“...Well...”
“Aha!”
“I can’t lie to him.”
I blinked.“So...”I pointed between them.“Twister just randomly asks if Wheels and I kissed?”
