My phone vibrates again.
Allie:I’m really not in a mood to talk about Ted. I’d rather just focus on other things until he’s ready to talk things over.
He’s such an asshole, and I’m going to keep making my moves. He’s not intent on keeping her obviously. If he were, he would be around. Time to switch gears.
Lucas:Have you used your present yet?
Photographic evidence might be a good thing to have, so I switch to the camera on my phone. By the time I look back up, Ted and his date are gone.
“What the fuck?” Nowhere to be seen. It’s fine. He’s not important anymore. If anything, he shouldn’t be coming back to her at all. I wouldn’t mind him just disappearing, but she seems to want closure.
Until she’s completely over the guilt andTed, I’ll just try to make her smile.
“Lucas!”
Shit. I press the screen of my phone to my lap to find Kat standing there with two identical dresses in hand. “Which one?”
I’m not sure how to respond. “What’s it for?” They look exactly the same to me, so I don’t know what to say.
She rolls her eyes. “For that booster dinner thing we have to go to for your job?”
Oh, right. Forgot about that.
“The left one.”
She holds up her left side and nods. Wasn’t the one I meant, but whatever. She glides through the store like it’s a runway and disappears into the dressing room. I pull my phone back up to messages from Allie.
Allie:No, and you really shouldn’t ask about that thing.
Allie:It’s weird.
I bite down my smile.
Lucas:Why?
Allie:Because it’s personal, and we agreed to be friends and because it’s weird.
We did not agree. She said she was going to talk to Ted because she “owed” him as much. Not from where I’m sitting.
Lucas:I told you I would get rid of it, just use it once.
Allie:Don’t make things weird, Lucas freaking Kennedy.
Oh, please, we had sex in a car at a party where anyone could have seen us. We can talk about this. She already admitted to wanting me.
Lucas:It’s not weird. I think about it constantly.
Not even a lie.
Lucas:You want me to show you how it works? I can come over and help you.
Allie:Lucas!
It’s cute, really. She’s kind of got this innocent nature about her, but it’s just a defense mechanism of some sort.
Lucas:Better watch out. I hear those things bite. Might need someone there to make sure you’re okay.
Allie:You’re something else.
