Scarlett is kneeling between my legs, her fingers pressed against my briefs.

She looks up at me, and I smile.

Then I realize she’s Tully.

What the…

“Hey there.” She smiles and presses another kiss against my skin. “Happy birthday.”

Fuck.“What the hell are you doing?”

“Giving you a birthday blowjob.” She smiles. “Don’t you want one?”

Only if it was from your sister.I clear my throat before those words slip from my mouth.

“Exactly.” She presses her palms on my knees. “Lay back and let me finish.”

“No,don’t.” I clasp her wrists and stand up, moving around her. “I just want to be alone today.”

“Ugh. Seriously?” She opens a bag, pulling out a champagne bottle and some type of dessert tray. “I bribed a guy to get us some top shelf alcohol and I even bought you birthday candles to go with this custom cookie cake.”

I sigh. “I really just want to be alone today, Tully.”

“But I’m your girlfriend.” She stands.

“I’m aware,” I say. “It’s not personal.”

“It feels like it.” She walks over to me. “Why can’t I be here with you? Like, on all days, why not today?”

“Tully…”

“Save it.” She looks into my eyes. “When you stopped letting me come over months ago because you claimed you didn’t sleep well with me in your bed, I bought that.”

“That’s the truth.”

“When you said, ‘I feel like we need to work on being better friends in our relationship’ I bought that bullshit, too.”

“That’s still the truth…”

“What aboutmytruth, then?” Her voice cracks. “Like, I get the social media thing with the sponsors can be annoying, but we both signed all those deals and they pay us pretty well.”

“It has nothing to do with social media, Tully.”

“I also understand that you’re under a lot of stress since every college is trying to sink their claws into you, and everyone in this town thinks you’re some sort of celebrity, but…What aboutme?” She sighs. “What happened to the guy I was dating last year?”

I swallow, knowing that she could never handle the truth. She’s a drama queen through and through, and the only people who exist in her world are those who serve her best interests.

“I don’t really have anyone close in my life,” she says. “My mom loves her vlogging shit more than anything, my dad loves that money, and my friends are…” Her voice trails off. “I have friends, and I want to have you, too.”

I hold back a sigh.

She didn’t mention Scarlett.

She never does…

“I’ll let you have your birthday because well, it is your birthday.” She presses her hand against my chest. “But we need to talk within the next few days because I need to know that you still like me as much as I like you.”

She kisses my cheek. “Save the champagne and cookies for me, okay?”
