"IT COULD have been anyone but him," Jerald hisses under his breath. I hear it though I'm not sure the others did. They're busy gushing at Phineas.
I'm frozen on the spot, eyes glancing between Jerald and Phineas, thinking of a way to make this mess less sticky than it already is—but no such luck.
"Sorry Jerry, I think I'll stick to black men. Your sister has such good taste," Kayla jokes glancing at her boyfriend, mouth still clasped. I know she means well, it's not her fault that she doesn't know what her boyfriend is like in his sister's relationships yet, but it's fucking annoying.
She's pissing Jerald off.
Smiling at Kayla, it drops the moment his eyes land back on Phineas, whose face drops when he notices us standing by the reception, looking at him, well, some of us. Lucas is glaring. It's almost like he knows about the controversial past Phineas shares with Mary and he wants to get revenge for her.
