“Alright, Reid,” Hollyn laughs. “Please stop giving me dating advice. I’m feeling more pathetic as the seconds go on.”
“It’s true.”
She waves a dismissive hand in the air. “I’m taking a break.”
I can’t lie and say that I don’t like the sound of that. “I think that’s best.”
Hollyn hums but doesn’t say anything else. I wonder what’s going on in her head. How over this she is with Weston. If she’s going to feel it tomorrow.
“You good?” I ask the moment she stops within arm’s reach of me.
“I’m good,” she deadpans, but she doesn’t give me anything else sauntering through her mind.
Nothing.
“You gonna be good when I’m gone?” She slowly rocks her head back and forth, keeping her body covered in the water. “You should leave him, Shorty.”
“You can’t leave what you never had.”
“I mean the job,” I retort. “You don’t need it.”
“But I like it.”
And I don’t like her being around him when I can’t cock block. “I’m not gonna be there to save you from yourself.”
“Please,” she mocks with a smirk. “He’s off my radar as of tonight. I can contain myself.”
“What if he changes his mind?”
“Why would it matter?”
“Because I thought we’ve been through this.”
“You think I’ll run back?” Hollyn lifts a brow.
“I’m hoping not.”
“I’m really not thinking of him right now when you have your shirt off, Reid. Give yourself more credit than that.”
I honestly didn’t think or notice that she was checking me out, but my ego appreciated it.
This is what it’s come down to? You not noticing chicks eye-fucking you?
“I didn’t think you thought of me in that way. I assumed I wasn’t your outtype based on the crush you had on that chump.”
“So, I should aim for someone with muscles like Goliath and broods all the time?”
“No, someone that talks more, for sure.”
“I like the broody look.”
Geezus.
“Don’t like me, Shorty. I’m no good for you.”
“Apparently, no guy is good for me,” she retorts. “Do I need a prince or something?”
“Or something.”
