“No, God, Teags. It’s not like you’re a prude or something. Look, if you don’t find anything, we’ll come back here, okay?”
“I’m not saying no,” she replied. “You’ve probably got something more appropriate for dancing, anyway.”
Brittany smirked and turned up the radio. She lived a short way away from Teagan, so her backup plan of coming back was actually plausible, if needed.
Her friend lived in a apartment that was actually the top floor of a house. And when it was warm, she had the lushest patio garden of anyone in Batton Hills. But that was nothing compared to the plants she had inside.
To say Britt was a green thumb was an understatement. She lived in a bloody jungle, and Teagan was so jealous.
“God, it’s always so beautiful in here, Britt…”
“Reminds me of Aster Hills,” she replied wistfully. “Not that I don’t love it up here or anything,” she teased.
“Well, Brad’s not in Aster Hills.”
Britt arched an eyebrow. “He certainly isn’t.”
“So, I take it that’s going well?” Teagan asked.
“What gave me away?”
“Oh, I don’t know. The moony-eyes you give him whenever he’s in the shop. Oh, and the fact that he comes up to the shop to visit almost every damn day. And the way you talk about him. Things I’d rather not know about my brother.”
“Would you rather we talk about Jaxon?” Britt grinned over at her.
“I wouldn’t know about Jaxon.” Teagan reached out to brush her fingertips over a philodendron.
“Teagan. Spill,” Brittany commanded. “Now, preferably, I’m about to jump out of my skin over here.”
“Spill what?” Teagan asked, meandering around the room.
“You know what.”
She managed to demure a bit longer, looking at plants and asking where the dresses were. Brittany’s need to dress Teagan up won out over her desire to know what was going on with Jaxon.
So, she soon gazed at a closet full of beautiful clothing. It was then that she finally spilled. She spilled all over the floor and up the walls and some splattered the ceiling.
“We kissed.”

“And?”
“No, I mean… it was arealkiss. No one was around to play-act for… it was just us. And it was…fucking unbelievable.”
She could hear Brittany grin. “Oh really? How so?”
“I don’t know how to describe it. But it felt like a proper kiss, you know? I mean, I thought he was kissing me properly before, but this was… this felt… God…” She melted onto a bench, covering her face.
“Just a kiss or-”
“It was kissing. We were full-on kissing on his floor.”
Even talking about it made her belly swoop. Made her nerves tingle. Fucking hell, she hadloved it.
“So, what’s the problem?” Britt asked. “How’d you get from kissing to Jaxon sulking around looking like a slapped ass?”
The smile fell from Teagan’s face as she stared at the high heels lined up on a shelf under the clothes. She wrapped her arms around her knees. “I have no fucking idea where I stand with him.”
