“Butler is a nice way of putting it,” he grumbles, crossing his arms over his chest, and huffs out an exasperated sigh. “I literally had to do everything for you for a week, carry your bags, get your food, pick out your clothes. It was exhausting.” Domenic slumps back in his chair with a dramatic sigh, as though the physical wear was still taking a toll on him.
I can’t help the laugh that bursts out at his display, shaking my head as he slumps further down below the table. He straightens a moment later, apparently having miraculously regained his strength.
“If you think that’s bad, I had to do all his assignments for a week,” Kali exhales a deep breath. “I barely got any sleep that week.”
Stacia pats her shoulder in consolation.
“He hasn’t come up with anything for me to do yet.” Zina giggles. “That must mean it’s going to be terrible.”
Lucas’ cheeks redden at her words, and he glances away, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.
“Well, I was thinking … would you maybe want to go to the dance with me?” He stammers, refusing to meet her gaze. “I mean, not that you have to or anything, I would never force you—oh, it was a silly idea—I’ll just pick something—” His words cut off abruptly, and he jerks in surprise as Zina lays a hand over his.
“I would love to go to the dance with you,” she says sweetly, holding his gaze so he can see the sincerity there. The tension seems to flee his body as he sighs a breath of relief, wiping at the sweat beading on his forehead.
“Speaking of dates,” Domenic says hesitantly, my head whipping to face him at the words. My pulse pounds in my ears, my chest tightening as I hold on to hope that he’s not about to say what I think he is. “Would you mind if I ask Nelle to come?” he asks nervously, rubbing at his bicep as he looks back at me sheepishly.
“Of course, that would be amazing.” I clap excitedly, covering up the breath of relief I heave. My lips pull up into a broad smile, glad that I must have imagined all the strange looks he’s been giving me. On top of that, I would get to see Nelle in a week’s time. This day is turning out even better than it started, and that’s saying something, seeing as naked Kyros in my bed is a pretty hard sight to beat.
