I nodded.

“When we left the lake house, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be happy again. But then I met you at the zoo.”

I wished I’d known all that when I was little. And that I hadn’t wasted so much time on the wrong boy. “You’re not my second choice, Jacob. Not in a million years.”

He smiled down at me.

“So...does this mean you’re not my fake boyfriend?”

He shook his head. “No, Scarlett. I’m your real boyfriend.”

Scarlett and the Fake Boyfriend - Chapter 32 – You’re Going to Be Shocked

Saturday

I had a boyfriend. A real one. “I’m so sorry it took me so long to realize my feelings for you. And for dancing with all those guys. And for just generally being terrible talking about the kiss thief.”

“Honestly, I think being jealous helped me realize how strong my feelings for you were too. Every time we were coming up with some new plan to catch your kiss thief. Every time you tried to make Axel jealous.”

“Really?”

He nodded. “And especially every time you danced with someone else tonight. Especially Zach. What the hell was that? You gave him a hard-on right in front of your dad.”

I laughed. “I may have been a little drunk when I danced with him. But I’m done dancing with anyone else. You’re the only person I want to dance with.”

He smiled.

“This is the best homecoming of my life.”

“Mine too.” He leaned down and kissed me again.

Someone cleared their throat.

I turned to see Sophie standing there.

“So...did you tell him?” she asked.

If I hadn’t this would have been really awkward. “Yes. Jacob is no longer my fake boyfriend.”

She raised her eyebrows.

“Because he’s my real one.”

She squealed and threw her arms around both of us. “I knew it. Team Jacob!”

Jacob laughed. “Thanks, Soph.”

She pulled back from her hug. “Okay, now that all that is sorted. You have one more person to dance with, Scar.”

Oh God.There was only one person I hadn’t danced with. “No,” I said firmly.

“But...”

“I’m not dancing with Mr. Halifax, Soph.”

“You have to. He’s the last person we need to scratch from your list.”

“I don’t care about my kiss thief. I’m with Jacob.”
