“Sothat’swhy you’ve been so pissed lately?”
“How would you feel if you found out a guy you consider your brother was fucking your little sister?” he counters.
Technically, I never told him I wasfuckingher. If I had, he would’ve stabbed me for sure. But he’s known me long enough to figure that out for himself. And I find more comfort than I should in the fact that he saidconsiderinstead ofconsidered.
“I mean…” Mali says with her shit stirring voice. “Before you knew who it was, you were fully on board.” Her finger moves to her chin as she pretends to think. “I believe the words you used were ‘Good pussy is hard to find these days.’”
Cam crushes the beer can in his hand, spilling beer over the edges and down the arm of the chair. Meanwhile, I focus on the girl who will be responsible for my murder.
“Youwanthim to hate me, don’t you?”
She shrugs and smiles sweetly. “You took my best friend. It’s only fitting I take yours.”
Honestly, I’m sure Cam would love for her to do exactly that, just in a different way. Shit, if she had, we might not be in this predicament. But I came too close to exposing his secret earlier. I won’t walk that line again.
“Please,” I scoff. “As if we both don’t know she loves you more.”
Mali smirks, opening her arms and giggling at the way Laiken goes willingly. It moves her further from me as she cuddles against her best friend. And I can’t help but laugh at the way Mali winks at me because of it.
“So, what?” Aiden asks, still stuck on the topic. “You two just aren’t friends anymore?”
I don’t give him the chance to answer—partly because I’m afraid of what would come out of his mouth. “Nah, he just needs to punish me adequately and then he’ll get over it.”
Mali and Laiken whisper to each other and try to hold back their laughter, but I’m focused on the way Cam snorts.
“Are you kidding? You’re dating my sister. Thatisthe punishment.”
I roll my eyes and glance over at Laiken. She pouts for a moment, but then glances over at Mali and it’s right back to trying not to laugh.
“Okay, what the hell are you two giggling about?” I finally ask with a sigh.
Mali does everything she can to keep her composure as she answers. “Are you going to call him daddy and take your punishment like a good boy?”
And that’s when Laiken loses it, throwing her head back while she breaks out into hysterical laughter.
THANKFULLY, CAM DOESN’T HATEme enough to skip any more than the one practice. Though I’m not sure if that speaks more about his grudge against me or his love of hockey. If I had to guess, I’d probably choose the latter.
Last night wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. We didn’t say much to each other after arguing, but Laiken and I also didn’t spend the whole night rubbing our relationship in his face. The kiss I all but tricked her into was only one of two for the night. But I still managed to subtly sayI love youby writing it into the condensation of her beer bottle.
Yeah, that one may have scored me a few points.
I finish getting ready, making sure to keep my distance even though our lockers are beside each other, and head out of the locker room. I thought Laiken had left already, but as the rink comes into view, I see her gliding around the ice like it’s what she was born for.
I probably look like some lovesick puppy, standing here and watching her like this. But the same way as everything else with her, I can’t fucking help myself. Except now that the cat’s out of the bag, I don’t have to do it from a distance.
Stepping onto the ice, I have this image of catching her like something you’d see in movies. But what happens is not at all like what I pictured in my head. Instead of some romantic scene, we both go crashing to the ground. The only good thing about it is the way she lands on top of me, keeping her from getting hurt.
I chuckle as I groan. “I did not think this through.”
“You think?” Laiken replies, her voice laced with her own giggle.
I don’t even realize Coach is there until his voice echoes through the rink. “Smooth move, Romeo. Now get up. No banging on the ice.” Cam groans from the gate and Coach winces. “Oops. Sorry, Blanchard.”
Laiken stands up and puts out her hand to help me just as Isaac steps up next to Cam, placing his hand on Cam’s shoulder.
“Yeah, sorry bro. I told you your sister’s hot.” He turns his attention to Laiken. “Sweetheart, if he doesn’t make you happy…”
“Jesus!” Cam snaps, pushing his hand off him.
