“It’s fine,” Jacob said with a laugh. “We’ve pretty much been dating since the first party of the year.”
Had we? Because I’d kissed an awful lot of guys since that party... And been texting my kiss thief nonstop. If I’d knownJacob and I were dating I never would have done any of those things! Crap. Did I need to tell him about the kiss thief?
Wait. No.I didn’t need to tell him becausehewas my kiss thief. Right? Gah! “I need to use the bathroom real quick,” I said. I didn’t wait for anyone to respond. I just hurried off. I needed to talk to Soph ASAP.
Scarlett and the Kiss Thief - Chapter 33 – First Kiss Do-Over
Monday
I closed the door behind me and clicked on Sophie’s name in my phone.
“Please tell me that the two of you kissed,” she said when she answered.
“Not yet. Soph, I’m panicking.”
“Why? You’ve had tons of practice now.”
I groaned. “That’s the whole problem. Jacob thinks we’ve been dating since the first party of the year.”
“Yeah. It’s been super cute to watch.”
“I didn’t know we were dating!” I hissed.
“Of course you did. You went to get ice cream together. And he holds your hand between classes.”
“Soph! Why didn’t you tell me I was dating him?”
“Because I thought you knew.”
“I wouldn’t have made out with half the football team if I’d known that!” God, I was a terrible person.
Sophie laughed. “It was for charity.” She kept saying that, but I’d never seen her hand the money over to the team.
“And I kept flirting with my kiss thief too.” And sending him illicit pictures. Seriously...what had I been thinking?
“Yeah, because it was just casual between you and Jacob. It’s not a big deal.”
“Itisa big deal. I feel like I’ve been cheating on him now.”With Mr. Halifax. No! Gah!
“It’s not cheating until he officially asks you to be his girlfriend. Which he hasn’t done yet.”
“He just did that.”
“What?”
“He asked me tonight.”
Sophie squealed. “Really?! Yes! Tell me everything. Scar, I’m so happy for you! Operation Too Hot to Handle for the win!”
That operation had been about winning over Axel. But I didn’t bother to correct her. She’d come up with Phase Incest. I shook my head. I hated that phase, but the results were pretty magnificent. “He asked me to wear his jacket to school tomorrow. And right after, he was just about to kiss me when Uncle Matt interrupted us.”
“Uncle Matt is such a cock blocker.”
Okay.“But then Jacob told his whole family that we were official.”
“Team Jacob!”
My heart was pounding against my ribcage. “But what if he’s not my kiss thief, Soph?”
