“What?” I asked.
“Yeah I replay it every night before bed.”
“Why?”
“To look for clues.”
Sure.Yeah, this whole thing had gotten out of control. We probably deserved to be arrested. “Good plan, RJ. Do you need a distraction?” I asked.
“No, Liam and I’ve got this, baby doll. Right, Liam?”
“I don’t know, I feel really nauseous right now. Did you guys really need to talk about Jacob skeeting on Scarlett?”
I hit his arm. “You’re fine.”
“So freaking gross,” he said. “Who would want to cum on your face?”
“Me,” Jacob said.
I laughed and looked up at him.
“You two are the cutest fake couple I’ve ever seen,” Sophie said. “So cute it doesn’t seem fake at all.”
I felt my cheeks turning red.
“But do you all know the plan for homecoming?” Sophie asked.
“Yeah, we’re riding in your limo,” Liam said.
“Not the limo coordination,” Sophie said. “I’m talking about the kiss thief plan. Scarlett is going to dance with the remaining four guys. Plus Mr. Halifax and Axel. She’ll pay attention to height and cologne and all that. And then she’s going to make out with the kiss thief and compare. We should be able to unmask him by the end of the night.”
I was very aware of Jacob’s thigh pressed against mine.
“Love it,” RJ said. “But don’t we need a bit...more?”
“Agreed,” Jacob said. “We need to take turns keeping eyes on Scarlett all night.”
“I think my dad will have that covered,” I said.
“No, Jacob is right,” Liam said. “The four of us need to take turns so that if someone pulls her into a dark closet, we can beat the shit out of the guy right away.”
“No one is beating anyone up,” I said.
“It’s a good plan,” Soph said.
“Soph!”
“Minus the beating up the guy thing.”
“And I have the perfect operation name,” RJ said. “Operation All Eyes on Baby Doll.”
I sighed. “It doesn’t matter anyway. I’m not going to be going to homecoming. I’m going to be grounded for the rest of my life.”
“I really don’t think Dad can hack your phone,” Liam said.
“Maybe not.”
“For all we know, the Hunter Tech emergency really was something unrelated to us,” RJ said. “Because my dad hightailed it out of the apartment early this morning too.”
