I chuckle as Rachel rolls her eyes. “Yeah, yeah.”
Sarah sniffs as she pulls away, a hand wiping at her eyes. “And don’t worry about us. We’ll be fine.”
“We’ll take extra good care of her, Mrs. Miller,” says Alex while stepping forward and giving Tom a firm shake. “Don’t either of you worry.”
Tom’s head tilts while his eyes narrow. “Thanks.”
Alex grabs Rachel’s waist and pulls her close, making me want to smack my face or yank him off her. We nearly got caught almost two seconds ago. Alex nuzzles his nose against Rachel’s cheek and my mouth falls open. If I wasn’t so shocked I think I would gasp or tell him to fucking stop everything he’s doing.
Unfortunately, Seth isn’t as cool headed as I am.
“Dude, fucking stop,” Seth whispers harshly while grabbing Alex by the back of his coat and yanking him away from Rachel.
“What was that for?” Alex asks, his hands fisting.
I can already see the fight brewing. I glance at Lucas, finding him already stepping toward Seth and pulling him away from Alex.
“Stop,” Lucas murmurs. “Now is definitely not the right time.”
I step toward Alex, not liking the look of those fists. These two have been nonstop since we arrived nearly a week ago. Maybe we should make them sit together, have them work out their issues until they can promise to speak nicely to each other. I’m sure my kindergarten teacher had me doing something similar when I was a kid. I can’t quite remember if it worked.
“He started it!” Seth shouts while waving a hand at Alex. “That asshole won’t stop fucking touching Rachel.”
Rachel groans. Looking over my shoulder, I find her shaking her head while rubbing her temples.
“Well, I can’t help it,” says Alex, his gaze darkening.
“Well, you should,” Seth says mockingly.
Alex smiles wickedly and in that mischievous glint in his eye, I can tell he’s about to say something diabolical; something that’s going to set Seth off, make him explode like the fucking volcano he is.
“Maybe, Sethy-poo, you need to learn that sharing is caring.”
Seth scoffs. “You gotta be fucking kidding me, Goode.”
Alex clucks his tongue. “You’re just jealous you didn’t join me and Lucas.”
“Alex, Seth, stop,” says Rachel while trying to move between Alex and Seth.
I glance over my shoulder, seeing Tom and Sarah watching, their faces filled with shock. Sarah keeps glancing at Tom, and I can see that her worry matches my own. Will he be able to read between the lines? Will he discover that all us grown men, are Rachel’s boyfriends?
So far, nothing seems to be clicking, but we’re definitely not making a good impression right now. I smile awkwardly at the people passing us by, dragging their suitcases behind them while giving us curious looks.
“You’re right!” Seth shouts. “I am jealous!”
Alex laughs, which does nothing to stifle the fire raging in Seth’s gaze.
“Are you happy?” Seth asks while stepping toward Alex. Lucas grabs his shoulders and pulls him back, but Seth shoves him away. “Does me being jealous make you happy?”
Alex nods. “Yeah. It does.”
Seth scoffs. “Why? Why are you so interested in whether or not I’m jealous? Why do you have to flaunt your relationship with Rachel in front of me? Lucas and Hunter never have to?” Seth taps his chin, looking coy as Alex’s bitter smile falters. “Is it because you lack self-confidence? Is that why?”
“Wait!” Tom shouts. “What?”
My eyes widen and I turn to Rachel’s dad. He looks between us, horror filling his gaze as it lands on Rachel. Yep. It’s finally clicked. He knows. Fucking great.
“Are you dating all of them?” Tom asks, his voice louder than needed and slightly shrill.
