“No, we did kiss.” I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. “Well,hekissed me.”
“How was it?” Griffin raises an eyebrow, waiting for me to tell him everything.
This is so weird. I shouldn’t be talking to Griffin about my crush on Hunter. It’s just… wrong.
Still, he’s asking.
“It was everything I ever dreamt of. Until after, when he said it was a mistake and made sure that I knew we’re just friends.”
Griffin frowns. “He’s an idiot.”
I want to argue in Hunter’s defense, but what could I say? Griffin doesn’t know everything that’s happened. And I can’t tell him.
“What happened to your head?” Griffin pushes my hair back, looking at the stitches. “Wow. That looks bad.”
“It’s nothing.” I back up slightly.
He drops my hair. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. That just looks back.”
“I hit my head and got a concussion.” I frown. “Last night was kind of a rough night.”
“I don’t understand,” Griffin says. “Hunter really likes you. Why would he kiss you and then push you away?”
I shrug, not knowing how to respond.
I’m sure Griffin does think that Hunter has feelings for me, but he doesn’t.
Does it?
He did kiss me.
But then he made sure I knew we could only be friends.
Still… hedidmake the first move and kiss me. He has to feel something, right?
“I have an idea.” Griffin grins widely.
I look warily at him. “Why does that sound ominous?”
He chuckles. “Well, I was thinking that you and I should make Hunter jealous.”
“How would we do that?” I ask.
“We should date,” he answers.
I shake my head. “That wouldn’t be fair to you when you know how I feel about Hunter.”
“It wouldn’t be real. We’d fake date. Hunter would be none the wiser,” Griffin explains.
“I don’t know,” I say.
“Hunter is in love with you,” Griffin says. “It’s plain for everybody to see. I don’t know why he’s pushing you away, but if you make him jealous, he’s going to have to admit how he feels.”
“Maybe.” I chew on my bottom lip, considering his plan.
Hunterdidseem kind of jealous when I said I wanted to come meet with Griffin.
“But you know that Hunter reads all of my texts,” I tell him. “So we’d have to pretend it’s real, even via text. Even if you don’t think Hunter is with me, he probably is. Even in the middle of the night.”
