“Maybe,” he said, opening the next drawer down.
Depriving Kelsey of active attention was actually the best of his options. The problem was it often took a while for it to take.
“There’s going to be a function on Saturday night. At the sorority—”
He spun on his heel, pointing a screwdriver at her. “No.”
“What? Why? You didn’t even hear what it is!”
“Nothing good ever begins with that combination of words, Kelsey.”
“It’s…” She stood aside as he walked by her—but not enough.
He swore she brushed the soft swell of her breasts against him as he slipped past her.
This is… not good.
“It’s not going to happen, Kels.”
“Please, just listen? Please?”
He groaned. “Fine. Okay. Just… I’m probably gonna say no.”
She rolled her eyes. “Whatever. Look, this thing. It’s a really important event for us. A fundraiser.”
“I’m broke.”
He wasn’t, not really. But she didn’t have to know that.
“Ugh! Stop! Listen, Uncle Max.”
“Go ahead.” Crossing his arms, he leaned a shoulder against the passenger side door of the truck. “I’m listening.”
“It’s—keep an open mind on this, okay? It’s an auction.”
“Okay, so what. Heirlooms? Football tickets? What kind of auction?”
She nibbled the corner of her lip. “A… bachelor auction.”
“A… a what?”
She smiled winningly, holding out a hand, palm up. “You know, bachelors. Single dudes.”
“I’m not—I don’t get it. Like these guys do… what?”
She winked. “Stand up in front of all the girls and look hot as fuck?”
“Kelsey!”
“I’m kidding! I’m kidding!” She bounced in place as she laughed though.
He didn’t want to notice that either.
“Well… kinda kidding. A little.”
He shrugged. “So, what do you need from me again?”
“God, it’s so cute when you do that.”
