“Like what?”
“Worked up. You’re the most chill person I know.”
“She’s right, actually,” Nash says. “What’s up with you? I get that Jarvis has a master’s degree in aggravating people but that’s nothing new.”
“Nothing’s up. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I double my pace through the corridor toward the back lot.
“Now he’s running. I’ve never seen him run,” Paige says from behind me.
I fire an irritated look back at her, and she returns a grin that only sisters seem to have.
Paige and Nash wisely remain silent for the rest of the journey to the parking lot.
“Oh shit,” Nash says as we approach Larinda’s bus. “It’s locked. We’ll need the…” He goes quiet as I punch in the code for the door. “Wow, I guess not. She gave you the code, dude? Damn.”
Nash slaps my arm, and I do an excellent job of ignoring him as I climb onto the bus and drop to my favorite spot in the lounge.
“Look how he just makes himself at home. How many hours you spend here, baby bro?” Paige teases.
You know what would be awesome? If they stopped talking.
I throw my arm over my face to block them out.
“Dang. This is incredible,” Paige says, eyes wide as she scans the space. “It’s practically a luxury hotel suite. Is this like the bus you were on when you worked for Abram?” she asks Nash.
He snorts a laugh. “I was on the crew bus, babe. No.”
“Fine. Well, maybe now that you’re a huge rockstar, you’d get a bus like this.”
“I’m not a huge rockstar, and I don’t tour.”
“When you become one and start touring.”
“I may never be and I may never tour.”
“Yes you will. Do you want to tour?”
“I don’t know. Not really.”
I’m just glad they don’t need me for any of this.
“Okay, little bro, now spill.”
Crap.
I lower my arm to find two expectant stares waiting for the wealth of information I’ve gathered since the last time we spoke. Other than discovering Arkansas’ woeful lack of octopi and the favorite songs of four strangers, I don’t have any updates.
“Nothing new to report.”
“Seriously? Come on. We know that’s not true,” Paige says.
“Fine. I guess the fact that I made Larinda hate me like you told me to is an update.”
“Hmm. Is that what we said?” Paige asks, tilting her head.
So maybe that was a tad passive-aggressive. Let’s hope they don’t read too much into it.
“Wait…” Nash says, eyes narrowing on me. “You didn’t… Oh shit, you fell for her, didn’t you?”
