PERCIE
What the fuck??
“He asked you out?” My voice raised. I pressed my lips into a thin line before I spoke again. “And just now you told me?”
“Yes. I mean. You ignored me, so how am I supposed to tell you when we were avoiding each other.”
“Did he insist?”?
She stared at me right into my eyes. “He said just once, but I said I like someone else, and he asked who.”
I swallowed the lump forming in my throat while wishing it would be me. My heart thumped faster in anticipation.
“And?” My tongue thickened in my mouth.
“I said I like you,” she whispered shyly.
I thought my world just spun around, then abruptly stopped.Wait a sec??Did she just say she liked me?
A smile spread across my lips and slowly, deliberately formed into a wide grin. My face ached.
I squeezed her hands and caressed her knuckles. “Did you mean it, Hailey? Or you were just trying to avoid Remy?” I could clearly hear the joy in my voice.
