“It’s more than that. Whatever is going on with her, I think it involves him.”
“You think they’re hooking up or something?” he asks, catching onto what I was insinuating.
“I don’t know. But there’s something they’re keeping from everyone.”
“What makes you think that?” Turning me in his arms, Micah kisses me gently on the lips before continuing, “And why does it bother you so much? They both deserve to be as happy as we are. And if being together will bring them that happiness... why not?”
Because I don’t think Max is the right person for Piper.
It’s what I want to say but I also don’t want to be that friend. And once I say it out loud, I can’t take it back.
“I don’t begrudge either of them finding happiness, I just want her to tell me what’s going on.”
“And if she says she’s seeing Max?”
Then I’ll find a way to lie and tell her I’m happy for her.
I’ll set aside my thoughts and feelings about it because I love my best friend and I do want her to be happy.
And Max is a nice guy. At least I think he is. I don’t really know him that well, but he shares DNA with Willow so he can’t be all that bad, right? Maybe I’ve only seen one side of him.
The loud, obnoxious, bossy side.
The frat boy.
Not that I have anything against fraternities or sororities. I probably would have joined when Kendall asked me to rush with her if I thought it wouldn’t interfere with school and I could afford it.
So, what is my problem with the idea of Max and Piper dating? Hooking up?
I have no idea. It just doesn’t sit right with me, I guess.
“You won’t be able to lie to her face, Lex,” Micah tells me.
“I know.”
“Maybe you should let it go for now. Let them figure out what’s going on between them and try to keep an open mind.”
“I can try.”
Micah lifts his brow but doesn’t outright state he doesn’t believe me.
“I could use a distraction, ya know.” Running my hand up Micah’s bare chest, I feel him shudder beneath my hand.
“I’d be happy to help. What are you thinking?” His hands slide lower, resting on the swell of my ass.
What was I thinking?
My silence gives me away.
“Here’s what I’m thinking. Me. You. My bed. Clothing is not optional.” Tugging me closer, Micah leans down, his lips grazing the shell of my ear as he continues, “At least three orgasms.”
“I have class in the morning, Micah. You know I can’t stay with you tonight.”
If we had class at the same time, I’d stay with him no problem, but his first class doesn’t start until noon, and I need to be on campus hours earlier.
“Fine. Your place then.”
“But Piper—”
