“Right,” he said. “That’s technically correct. Let’s go with that.”

Okay then... “Will you please help me find Jacob now?”

He nodded. “Yeah, I’m super excited to see this now. Maybe Axel knows where Jacob is.” He pointed to Axel. He was sitting on the couch with Gigi on his lap.

I sighed and walked over. “Axel, have you seen Jacob?”

“I’m a little busy,” he said. His hands slid to Gigi’s ass. “Unless you’re reconsidering my proposal. And that’s why you’re asking about Jacob.”

“What proposal?” Gigi said.

“Give me a minute, sweet cheeks.” He practically shoved Gigi off his lap.

“What the hell, Axel?” She glared at him.

“Sorry,” he said and looked down at his arms like he didn’t realize how strong he was. “RJ, what was in those brownies again?” He stood up and walked over to us.

“Dark chocolate,” I said.

Axel gave me a weird look. “You had a bite?”

“I ate a whole brownie. It was great. Can we please get back to my question? Have you seen Jacob?”

“You let her eat a whole brownie?” Axel said to RJ.

RJ just shrugged. “I didn’t mean to.”

Axel shook his head. “We’re going home.” He grabbed my wrist.

“I can’t go home.” I swatted his hand away. “I need to go to...” I couldn’t think of the word. “Confession?” I laughed. That didn’t sound right.

“You really have found religion,” Axel said.

“No. I haven’t. I’m a terrible person. I have two boyfriends.”

Axel looked at RJ.

“She’s dating Leo now too,” RJ said.

“I wonder what your father would have to say about that,” Axel said and grabbed my wrist again, like he was about to pull me out of here and take me to my dad.

“If I was Liam he’d give me a high five. Well, maybe not if Liam was dating two boys. I honestly have no idea how my father would feel about that. I was thinking the opposite. Two girls. Liam’s a slut.”

Axel laughed.

Which made me smile. “I love your laugh.”

“Thanks, Scarlett. So what is this about two boyfriends? I thought we were going down to zero?”

“Why should I have zero when you’re dating Gigi? You didn’t even stick to your own pact. Ugh. I hate her. Why are you doing this to me?”

Axel looked down at where he was still holding my wrist. “Break up with the boyfriend and I’ll call it quits on Gigi.”

“I thought you guys were serious?”

“About as serious as you and Jacob. So it’ll be an even dumping. But what is this about Leo?”

“I was just trying to unmask my kiss thief...”
