Claire grins. “I’m sure you did.”
“So, what do you say, wings tonight?” Rhett asks.
“We’d love to,” Claire answers immediately.
What I wouldn’t give for the freedom to say yes. But that’s not my reality. “I can’t.”
“What?” Claire pouts. “Why not?”
“Come on, Claire. You know I can’t leave my dad by himself.”
“My mom will stay with him, or we can call my aunt. You know they won’t mind.”
I shake my head. “It’s not fair to ask them to do more than they already do. But you should still go.” I hate the idea of her going without me. It’s silly. I know she doesn’t really have a thing for Rhett, but that doesn’t make it any easier knowing she gets to spend time him while I’m stuck at home.
Stuck at home.
Fuck.
I’ve got to stop thinking like this, or I’ll drive myself insane.
“That’s okay,” Rhett offers. “I don’t even have to go. I’d much rather hang out with you anyway.”
“Awwww,” Claire croons.
“No. You should go,” I tell him. “You haven’t gotten to spend a lot of time with Trevor.”
He tilts his head. “You sure? I can come by afterward.”
“I’d like that.”
“I’ll call you when I’m on my way.” He leans down to give me a kiss and looks at Claire. “Dirty Dicks at seven, if you’d like to come.”
“Thanks for the invite, but I was only going if Mo went.”
I could kiss her.
“Your loss,” Rhett says, turning toward the front door.
“Tell me about it,” Claire mumbles.
She drops onto her chair as Rhett walks out the door. “He really is gorgeous.”
“Don’t I know it.”
We lean our heads to the left, watching the way his jeans hug his ass as he walks to his truck.
“Please tell me his ass is as tight as it looks.”
“Tighter.”
“I hate you.”
“We need to get you laid.”
She takes another bite. “Tell me about it.”
“Maybe you could get laid by Trevor.”
