Axel finally looked up from his phone. And he looked anything but pleased.
“Scar and I were just talking about what she should wear to the party on Friday,” Sophie said and turned back to me. “Remember that sparkly dress you bought in the spring? You’ve never worn it. And it’s a total winner.”
“Yeah, maybe,” I said. There was a reason I’d never worn it. Sophie had talked me into getting it when I was about to put it back. It was too short. Too sparkly. Just too much everything. But it would certainly stand out…
“I need access to the blueprints of your apartment,” RJ said as he plopped down at our table. Liam sat down too. I wasn’t sure if them sitting with us was a one-time thing or not. But I was happy they’d decided to join us again today.
“I…don’t know how or where I’d get those,” I said.
“No worries.” He pulled out his phone. “I’ll figure it out. And if not, I’ll wing it. I already have all the other necessary supplies.”
“What necessary supplies?”
“Don’t worry about it, baby doll. I’ve got it covered. Why do you and Liam not have them though? That’s so weird.”
Was it? I was pretty sure it was more weird that he thought we should have them. And that he called me baby doll. What was wrong with him? “Do you have them for your apartment?” I asked.
“Of course I do. They really come in handy.”
“That’s true,” Sophie said. “We use them all the time.”
Okay then.“Why do you need ours though?”
“For the escape plan of course,” RJ said.
“Right, I got that. But why do you need blueprints to our apartment for the escape plan? That seems elaborate. I’m just going to wait for my mom and dad to go upstairs and then easily sneak out…”
“Don’t be basic,” RJ said. “Your dad has cameras everywhere and a security detail watching your every move. There is noeasily sneaking out.”
“That’s true,” Liam said. “Last time I was grounded Briggs and Porter stood outside the front door. I couldn’t go anywhere.”
Briggs and Porter were our security guards. But they loved me. I was sure if I asked nicely…
“Or you could just accept the fact that you’re grounded and behave so one week doesn’t turn into a month,” Axel said.
“Don’t you want her to come to the party?” Sophie asked.
God, Soph.
Axel just shrugged in response.
Shrugged.
My heart dropped.
Asshole.
“It wouldn’t be the same without you, Scarlett,” Jacob said.
I smiled up at him. “Thanks, Jacob.”
He turned to RJ and Liam. “Let me know if you guys need any extra help.”
“We’ve got this,” RJ said. “It’s a classic Hunter Hunter mess around.”
Oh no.Last time there was a Hunter Hunter mess around we almost got arrested.
