I wasn’t as surprised when Sophie popped up this time. The song had changed to a fast paced one and she shook her hips.
“I think he likes you!” I yelled over the music.
“Who? Eli?”
“Mhm. Just like Mr. Halifax. So...it’s not either of them. Let’s cross them off the list.”
“You don’t know that for sure,” Sophie said.
“Well, I smelled Eli just in case. But please don’t make me dance with Mr. Halifax.”
“I would literally die if Mr. Halifax wanted to dance with me.” She hooked her arm in mine and we spun in a circle.
I felt a little dizzy. “I’mthe one that will literally die because my dad will kill me if I dance with Mr. Halifax.”
Sophie glanced over at the bar. “Fair. We’ll do it secretly...somehow.”
I laughed and took a sip of my soda. “I can’t believe this has gotten past my dad.”
“Hopefully he doesn’t get thirsty,” Sophie said. “Because if he does, he’ll definitely figure it out.”
I nodded. “I really don’t think it’s Mr. Halifax or Eli. It’s much more likely Leo.”
Sophie stopped dancing. “Wait, do you like Leo?”
“He’s funny. Like RJ and Liam said.”
“Right,” she said. “He’s funnylikeRJ. Which means you’d practically be hooking up with your cousin.”
“Ew, stop.”
She looked around the dance floor. “Do you really think it might be Leo?”
“He did say he was in love with me.”
“I guess dating a guy like your cousin is better than dating a guy like your father.”
I hated this conversation. “Have you seen Jacob? Or Axel for that matter?”
“I have eyes on everyone,” RJ said from behind me.
I spun around and he caught me around the waist.
“I heard you have the hots for me,” RJ said.
“Don’t, perv.” I swatted his hands off my waist. I can’t believe he’d overheard that conversation.
“It’s okay,” he said. “I’ve found that most women fall hopelessly in love with me. It’s not your fault. But cool your loins, baby doll. We’re related. And I’m a little young for you.”
Sophie pretended to hurl.
And I actually gagged a little. “Says the guy who brought a junior to homecoming.”
“Eh.” He shrugged. “I did that for you. I don’t really have a thing for older women like Liam does. But Olivia really is smoking hot.”
Sophie rolled her eyes.
“I really don’t want to hear about my little brother’s sexual preferences.” I said. Seriously...what was his thing with older women? He was being so weird.
