“Liam, hey.” I lift up my hand and wave at him as he approaches me.
Hunter touches my arm. “I’m going to go sit by the fountain while you talk to your brother.”
“Thank you.” I smile to let him know I’m grateful for the privacy.
I miss Liam. He and I have always been close. No matter what is going on in his life, he always seems to make time for me. Even at home, where he had tons of friends, he still hung out with me every single day. It’s weird not seeing him that much now.
Hunter sits down at the fountain. I’m sure he’ll keep a close eye on me.
When Liam reaches me, he grabs me, lifts me up, and spins me. I squeal, yelling at him to put me down. He just laughs.
“You’re light, Coco,” Liam says as he puts me on the ground.
“Or you’re strong,” I counter.
He cocks his head to the side, studying me. “You’ve lost weight. Not that you had any to lose.”
I roll my eyes. “I have plenty to lose.”
“That’s such a girl thing to say.” He shakes his head.
“Well, Iama girl.”
He gasps. “What? Since when?”
I put my hands on my hips. “Number Four, I swear you’re a pain in the butt.”
“Not as much as you.” He reaches a hand over, rubbing my head.
“Don’t mess up my hair.” I reach my hand up, trying to flatten it back out.
Liam smirks. “Scared your little bodyguard will see you with messy hair?”
I huff, crossing my arms over my chest. “I don’t care what Hunter thinks of my hair.”
It’s so a lie, but Liam doesn’t need to know that.Nobodyneeds to know that. I’d rather the crush that I have on my bodyguard remain a secret.
“Sure you don’t.” Liam wiggles his eyebrows. “By the way, like the Superman outfit. Very cute.”
“Thanks.” I grin. “Harper forced me to participate in Spirit Week. Though, I’m certain your costume has got a lot more attention than mine.”
Liam is dressed as Captain America—tight pants and all.
His smile widens. “What can I say? If you’ve got it, you’ve got it. And I, little sister, havegotit.”
I shove at him. “I will never understand what girls see in you.”
He just shrugs. “You should hear the way the guys on the football team talk about you. They are always asking me if Hunter is your boyfriend.”
My cheeks grow warm. “No, they don’t.”
He nods. “Yep.”
I groan, covering my face with my hands.
“I always tell them that the two of you are dating,” Liam says.
I look at him between my fingers. “Really?”
