“See you around, guys.” She pinned me with a smug look before taking off down the hall.
“What was all that about?” Gav asked.
“Nothing.” I glanced over my shoulder, watching as Lindsey melted into the crowd.
She was bluffing; she had to be. There was no fucking way she knew about me and Lily. I trusted my guys implicitly and Lily felt the same about her friends and family.
Lindsey was just clutching at straws, trying to unnerve me enough to take what she wanted.
Me.
“Do me a favor and both keep your eye on her,” I said.
“You think she’s out for blood?”
“I don’t trust her, and she already has a problem with Lily. I don’t want to give her any more of a reason to go after her.”
“Sure, man. You know we will.”
“Thanks.”
We approached Lily and the girls. Bryan slung his arm over Peyton’s shoulder. “Looking good, Myers. Lily. Ashleigh.” He gave them both a blinding smile.
“What did she want?” Ashleigh asked, glaring at me. I didn’t blame her. I was protective of Lily too.
“Always wanting things she can’t have,” I said, but my eyes flicked to Lily. Her cheeks turned that adorable shade of pink as I watched her, until she glanced away breaking the connection.
When she looked up again, I smiled.
Fuck. This girl.
How was I supposed to stand here, with her right fucking there, and not touch her?
As if she felt it too, her breath caught, only deepening the shade of her cheeks.
We moved closer like magnets but kept an acceptable amount of distance between us. “A little birdie told me it’s your birthday Friday,” I said.
“Maybe.” Her cheeks dimpled.
“Can I take you out?”
“Yes.” She smiled, but it quickly became a frown. “I mean… I usually do something with Ashleigh and my family but—”
“Relax,” I chuckled. “It doesn’t have to be your actual birthday. I’d just like to do something with you to celebrate.”
“I’d like that.”
“Okay, leave it with me,” I said.
“We should get to class.” Ashleigh broke the spell over us. “Catch you guys later.”
We all said goodbye, but I lingered, forcing Lily to walk around me with her friends. Right as she passed me, I dropped my hand, grazing her fingers. A bolt of electricity went through me, and her eyes snapped to mine, shining with desire.
She took off down the hall, and I shook my head.
I was so fucking gone for this girl.
And counting the weeks until I could officially make her mine.
