“Have you asked RJ about it?”
“No, I want to see his reaction when he sees it. Should we invite him over?”
Jacob glanced at his watch. “I’m not sure we have time. Axel is coming over soon, right?”
“I have no idea. He loves making plans and then making me wait for him to show up all night.”
“Hm.”
I looked up at him. “What?”
“I think Operation Too Hot to Handle is working. Axel is definitely jealous.”
“I don’t know.”
Jacob laughed and shoved his hands into his pockets. “Seriously? He tried to crash our date tonight. The idea of us hanging out one on one is really starting to get to him.”
“Maybe because he’s used to hanging out with you all the time after school.”
“That’s definitely not what’s bothering him,” Jacob said.
I shrugged. It seemed like just as much of a possibility as being jealous. “Is the operation helping you at all?”
“In what way?”
“By making Olivia jealous?”
“I think a lot of girls probably wish they were you right now, love.”
I laughed. “You’re very full of yourself.”
“I’m just kidding. But I have really been enjoying fake dating you, Scarlett.”
All I could focus on was that wordfake. “I’ve been enjoying it too.”
“You know my favorite part?”
I smiled. “What?”
“You cheering for me at my games.”
“I’ve always cheered for you.”
“I know. It feels different now though.” He reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
“You’re sure I’m not ruining your senior year?” I asked.
“How?”
“You could have asked someone you had real feelings for to homecoming. Instead of me.”
“Scarlett, this was my idea. I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t want to.”
“The sexual favors are probably a pretty decent perk, huh?”
He smiled. “Like I said, I think a lot of girls probably wish they were you right now.”
I lightly shoved his chest, but he caught my hand.
