“I think Royce is going to ask me back out again,” I rush out and her eyes widen. “Did he say anything to you today that may have given you an inkling of what thischatmay revolve around?”
She shakes her head.“No, nothing. Just that he wanted to apologise for the way he was. What would you say if he did ask you out? Would you say yes?”
I should answer straight away. But I find myself thinking about Creed.
“Anaïs?” She catches me off guard.
“What?”
“Welcome back.” She smirks. “Would you?”
“Would I what?” My brows dig in.
“Say yes.”
My eyes volley between hers as I hang off her words. I sigh.
“What are you not saying?” She tilts her head to the side.
Nibbling on my bottom lip, I cover my eyes, the words on the tip of my tongue.
“I kissed Creed,” I rush them out as if they’re poison.
“What?” she shrieks.
“Again,” I wail.
Her fingers curl around my small wrists as she pulls my hands away. There’s a stupid look on her face, a wide smile pressed against her lips.
“You went for hisdaddy.” She giggles. She is fucking loving this.
“I didn’t go for him.” I pull my hands from hers and stand in front of the mirror as I look back at the person staring at me.
“He kissed me, I think… I dunno. I kissed him back though, that’s all that matters.”
“Well.” She pushes her tongue into her cheek. “I never.”
“It’s not a big deal. We both agreed it was a mistake and should never happened.”
I mean, we didn’t… but I have decided to stay away from him.
“It is ahugedeal.” She holds her hands up and I shake my head
“Please don’t make this into something it’s not.”
“When… how…”
“The other day…” I trail off and she can tell by my face exactly when it was.
“When he asked me if you were in the bathroom?”
I nod, swallowing down the lump.
“Fuck.”
“Yup.”
“What you gonna do?”
