“Oh fuck. Don’t make it worse by apologizing.”

“I am, and I mean it.” She stared up at me—her dark eyes pooling with emotion. “If there’s anything the last ten days has taught me is there is so much more to you than I ever imagined.”

“Seriously?”

“Yes. You’re the total package.”

“Normally this is where I would say something about my package, but I’m not going to do that.”

Gaby laughed. “I’m glad to hear it.”

“You know what. Forget the blow job.”

“Excuse me?”

“I don’t need it. It was enough just making you happy.”

Bringing her hand to her forehead, Gaby dramatically replied, “Oh stop. I’m going to swoon.”

“Smart-ass.”

With a grin, she replied, “Joking aside, you’ve been so sweet not just tonight but the last ten days. And because of that, I’m still going to blow you.”

“Damn, woman, you really make me happy.”

Chapter Fifteen: Gaby

When the song ended, Jude and Bella kept dancing. Even though this one was more upbeat, they still stayed pressed together, staring into each other’s eyes. “I’d say your plan was a big success,” Noah remarked with a grin.

I smiled up at him. “I couldn’t have done it with you.”

“Anytime, babe. I like helping you make others happy.”

Jerking my chin at them, I said, “You’re right about me wanting people to be happy. It’s not just Bella’s happiness that I was thinking of. Since he’s like a brother to me, I want Jude to be happy too.”

Noah grinned. “I get it. Even though I give them hell sometimes, I want Caroline and Liam to be in love.” When my dark brows shot up in surprise, he countered, “What?”

“Nothing.”

“Oh no. You’re not getting off so easy.”

With a shrug, I replied, “It’s just surprising that all.”

“That I’m not an utter asshole who wants to see his siblings suffer?” Noah countered.

“I meant, that for someone with your past to say something like that about love.”

“Just because I was a player, I wasn’t against falling in love.”

I rolled my eyes. “Please.”

“I’m serious.”

“I would say your prior relationship statuses, or lack thereof, would say differently.”

“I’ve been in love before.”

“Have you?”
