“You’ll have to ask him,” I said evasively.

“Will he tell me?”

“Probably not.”

“Dang. Now I really want to know.”

I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. “I do want to meet Dylan. Like really meet him.”

“Yeah,” she said glumly. “It was his idea, actually.”

“Sounds like he’s trying to be a good influence on you.”

“I’m terrified it might actually work,” she said with a laugh.

“Hey! You guys better get out here and entertain us or we’re leaving!” Savage shouted.

“Why do we let him hang around?” Waverly asked as she slid off the air mattress.

“Because he brings us pizza,” I said.

“Right, that. Very important. Can you promise me something?”

“Anything.”

“When you meet Dylan, can it just be the three of us? I don’t want—well, I’d really like not to scare him off.”

I grinned. “The fact that he’s still calling and wanting to officially get grilled by me says a lot about his character.”

“He got past my rough exterior,” Waverly said as she opened the door. “He’s something special.”

Monday morning, I was jarred awake by my vibrating phone. With a groan, I fished for my cell and found it underneath my pillow.

Duke

My hand is wrapped around my dick and I’m thinking about you.

“Who’s texting you?” Waverly asked.

I quickly shoved my phone back underneath my pillow and then yawned wide enough that my jaw cracked. “Brooklyn,” I lied. “Reminding me to come to the bakery after I drop you off at school.”

“Hmm.”

My phone vibrated again. I discreetly reached underneath my pillow and glanced at my cell, but the screen was dark.

It took my sluggish brain a moment to realize it was Waverly’s phone that had buzzed.

“Who’s textingyou?” I asked.

“Dylan.” She rolled onto her back, her face lit up from the screen.

“Ah, young love,” I quipped.

“We’re not in love,” she stated reflexively. She hastily sat up and moved her tangled hair out of her face. “I’m gonna shower first, okay?”

“Take it,” I agreed.

I turned off my alarm that was supposed to go off in fifteen minutes and then I typed out a reply to Duke.
