“I need to use the bathroom after you flash me.”
“No.” I stopped at my door. “I’m not flashing you. I have a boyfriend.”
“Right. The boyfriend who hasn’t seen your tits. And who doesn’t come over when you’re scared.”
“Stop it.”
“It’s just the truth,” Axel said.
“Bite me.”
He lowered his eyebrows as he stared at me. “Pretty sure I already did last night.” He looked down at my hand.
Wait.He remembered biting my finger? I thought he didn’t remember anything about last night? My heart started racing. “Whatever, use my bathroom. Just be quick about it.” I let him in my room and he disappeared into the bathroom. I stared at the closed door.
Axel remembered last night. At least...parts of it. And I certainly remembered. I looked down at my finger. He’d bitten me really hard. There was a small red line on my index finger. Axel had said it was my boyfriend’s job to mark me. And yet...here I was...marked by Axel instead.
My phone buzzed. “Scar, what are we going to do? I tried paying Parker another 20 bucks, but I’m pretty sure she actually lost the key. She said she was super wasted last night.”
I laughed. “There was nothing in those teacups.”
“I know that! And I swear Aunt Hails and Uncle Tyler know I’m here under false pretenses. I’m acting totally sus.”
“It’s fine,” I texted back. “We’ve got Henley the Jealous Lock Picker en route.” At least, I hoped we did.
I quickly changed into jeans and a Giants t-shirt, and pulled on Jacob’s varsity jacket. Although I’d probably burn it if he didn’t come because he was too busy with Olivia. I paused. God I wasn’t allowed to be jealous. How many times did I need to keep reminding myself that?
My phone buzzed with Soph’s response. “Perfect. Two birds one stone. You can make out with Henley the Jealous Lock Picker on Axel’s bed while I ex out of the footage.”
Yeah, I wasn’t doing that. “No thank you. I’m just going to dance with him at homecoming.”
“Your dance card is very full. It might be better to cross someone off your list in advance.”
“I’ll be fine,” I texted.
“Just like one kiss on Axel’s bed.”
“No.”
“Just give me a maybe,” Sophie texted.
I sighed. “Fine. Maybe. See you soon.” I slid my phone into my jacket pocket just as Axel walked out of my bathroom.
The corner of his mouth ticked up. In that way that seemed reserved just for me. “Ready?” he asked.
“I just need to brush my teeth real quick.” I hurried into the bathroom. I grabbed my toothbrush, but it was already wet. I stared down at it. Had Axel used my toothbrush? I smiled. There was something weirdly intimate about him doing that. I quickly brushed my teeth and knew I had a big smile on my face when I stepped out of the bathroom. I stared at Axel. “Did you use my toothbrush?”
He shrugged. “Yeah.”
“That was a very strange thing to do.”
“Why? We share everything.”
I stared at him.
“Come on. Your dad is probably wondering what sinful things you’re doing with your friend in here.”
Shit.I grabbed Axel’s arm and pulled him out of my room and down the hall.
