Sierra eagerly focuses on me. “Tell me everything.”
“Details!” Chloe adds.
“How’d this happen?” Lauren yelps.
I stare at Rex in horror.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
How are we getting out of this?
It’s not only my parents we have to create a breakup story for. It’s now pretty much the entire town. And when it happens, most of them will give Rex hell for it, placing all the blame on him.
Rex’s hand stays on my thigh as he speaks, “This is why we kept it on the down-low.” He motions toward the table. “We didn’t want this shit to happen—you clowns making a big deal about it.” His hand leaves my thigh, and he curves his arm around my shoulders, dragging me closer to him. “Yes, we’re trying something new.”
“I love it.” Sierra beams.
“Kiss!” Candy yells. “Now that the cat is out of the bag, you should totally kiss!”
I want to kill Candy.
No more picking up any extra shifts for her.
Her voice rises as she starts pumping her fist into the air. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
Kyle joins in on her chanting … then Chloe … then Lauren … and then the rest of the damn bar.
My mind goes blank when Rex cups the back of my head.
“Might as well make the crowd happy.” His mouth crashes against mine.
Screams erupt across the bar, and clapping ensues.
Rex doesn’t give me a quick peck. No, his soft lips part, and his tongue plunges into my mouth, teasingly stroking against mine. He tastes like beer and salt. His hand knots into my hair, and he yanks me closer, his mouth claiming me as his girlfriend.
My cheeks are on fire.
I’m making out with Rex in front of everyone.
And it doesn’t feel pretend.
The. Best. Kiss. Ever.
It’s life-changing.
Friendship-changing.
We’re so screwed.
All the commotion around us is drowned out as he devours my mouth.
I’m clueless as to how much time passes before he tears away from me.
He tenderly kisses the tip of my nose.
I shiver when his cheek touches mine, and he whispers in my ear, “FYI, I’m not ending this. Figure out how you’re going to break my heart.” His tongue runs along the edge of my lobe, and I tighten my thighs. “You taste delicious, by the way.”
This friendship just got a lot more complicated.
