Jake held Hayley a little closer, “I’ve been trying to date Hay for months. Stay away.”

R.J. shrugged, “She’s not my type.” He winked at her, and she winked back.

“Good,” Jake blurted, then seemed to realize how obvious that was and leaned back, as if he had not a care in the world. Typical Jake. All macho man.

Hayley looked over the moon. She was smiling so wide I thought her cheeks might hurt, “Why didn’t you ask me then?”

Before Jake could reply, R.J. beat him to it, “He’s stupid.”

Peter laughed at Jake’s thunderous expression, “He was nervous, same as me.”

I turned to Peter, “You were nervous?”

“Yeah, but I still knew you loved me.”

I rolled my eyes and shoved him back in his chair as he laughed with R.J., “Ha. Ha. So funny.”

“Kiss me, Rae,” Peter leaned down, and I couldn’t resist pressing a light kiss on his lips.

R.J. groaned, “This is so unfair.”

Hayley laughed, “Why? You in love with Rae too?”

R.J. blushed, “Uh, no.” His eyes darted to Peter’s, “he knows that.”

“Yeah, I do man. No worries.”

The pizzas finally arrived. For the next half hour we gorged ourselves on soda and the pies until nothing was left. The guys finished everything off.

“Ready?” Peter asked, helping me with my jacket.

“Where?”

“You’ll see,” he replied with a wink.

Chapter 9

“A drive-in!” I exclaimed, flashing Peter a brilliant smile, “You remembered!”

“Yes, of course I did Rae,” he replied with a wink and rolled the window down as we parked, programming the radio to the right station. The warm breeze filtered through the car as I rolled mine down at the same time.

“Snacks!” Hayley announced next to us as she jumped out of Jake’s truck.

R.J. opened the back latch, the tailgate swinging down as he hopped up to sit on the edge. Blankets had been tossed into the bed, “Hay, get me some too.”

She arched a brow, holding out her hand. He slapped a twenty in her palm as she grinned, “You’re paying for mine too.”

“Hey!” he protested.

“If I’m going for you, then you’re paying,” she dared him to refuse.

“Fine,” he scowled but I noticed his smile when she turned toward me, linking our arms.

Hayley always managed to get R.J. or Jake to pay when we were out. Now that I thought about it, Peter usually paid for me and I never had to ask. Interesting.

“Get whatever you want Rae,” Peter offered, opening his wallet. “Twenty enough?”

“More than, thanks. What do you want?” I asked, slipping the money into the front pocket of my favorite jeans.
