Chapter Thirty-Six: Blooming Rose

Avery’s POV

“He what?!”

Piper screeches like a toddler, more eager to hear the news than I imagined.

For one, she isn't a fan of Thane. As such, I expect her to go on and on, and pull my ears out as she resounds her warning.

“Look, Piper,” I halt her excitement. “It was a one-time thing, okay?”

“Shut up.”

She chuckles, causing me to laugh as well.

“So, let's have the full details.” She whimpers, tapping her hands gently in a soft clap.

“What details?” I'm thrown aside for a moment.

“Everything, Avery.” She bluffs. “Every damn thing. And don't you get started on the ‘that's all’ bullshit.”

“Heavens.” I smile. “I promise, it was just a kiss. No smooching, or hugs, or sex.” I press my lips together.

“Boring.” She sighs. “I know you're so in love with that moron, that I can bet you made the first move.”

“First, Piper,” I stick my tongue in between my gum, and upper lip. “Language please…”

“Whoa!” She gasps. “Lover girl is fierce.”
