“Great, now I have wrinkles too.”
“You don’t have wrinkles, but you could if you keep frowning like that. Especially with no reason whatsoever. I swear the way that man looked at you had me squirming.” She waves her hand in front of her face.
“You’re imagining things.”
“Am I? Because if your panties are still dry, you really have to question yourself, girl.”
“I’m not even dignifying that with an answer.” I slam the door shut and turn toward the two-story building in front of us.
Since neither of us had a swimsuit, we went back to my place to change, and Quinn texted me the address so we could meet them here.
A shriek pierces the air, followed by a loudsplashand laughing. I bite the inside of my cheek, my eyes going to the fence surrounding the backyard. The music is playing at full volume; people are yelling and laughing.
“Why are you worried?” Kiara asks, stopping by my side.
“I’m not worried. It’s just…” I shift my weight from one foot to the other. “I don’t think we should be here. It’s a college party.”
“So what? Boy Toy asked you to come.” I give her a pointed look, but she just smiles bigger. “Hewantedyou to come.”
“I’m just wary. After everything that has happened with John…”
“Screw that dickhead. Just because he didn’t know how to appreciate you, or make you come, doesn’t mean somebody else won’t.”
“It’s not like that between Quinn and me.”
Okay, it totally is, and I’m not fooling anybody.
“Isn’t it?” Kiara raises her brows knowingly. “I swear I could see the sparks fly between you two when he came over to your place to ask for sugar. Did he end up coming back to bring you those brownies?” She grazes her teeth over her lower lip, her brows wiggling playfully.
I shove her. “Stop it.”
“You’re blushing!”
“Am not.” I look away, biting the inside of my cheek.
“Are too. So, did he come to give you some sugar?”
“Seriously?” I shake my head, which earns me a pinch from my best friend. “Tell me!”
“Okay, just stop it.” I squirm out of her reach, rubbing at my sore side. “Maybe.”
“Maybe, my ass. You slept with him again, didn’t you?”
I open my mouth to answer her, but before I can utter a word, the door to the backyard opens, and no one other than the man in question walks out, a black garbage bag in his hand as he laughs at whatever his friends are saying.
He’s shirtless, his black skin sleek under the early afternoon light, a pair of bright red swim trunks hanging low on his hips, revealing that V leading all the way to…
Kiara whistles softly. “Daymn. It’s not even strange you’re all unnerved when you’re around him. That body alone…” she tsks and shakes her head.
I can’t even blame her for gawking. Quinn is gorgeous. Tall and lean, his muscles defined just right.
Quinn turns around, his eyes landing on mine, and not even a heartbeat later, a smile spreads over his mouth. “You came.” He sounds almost as surprised as I feel.
Is it even weird?
“Well, you said we should come.”
Kiara chokes as she tries to hide her laughter, and I want to punch her in the gut, but that’ll only drive more attention to her.
