I bit back a s rabbedit too

A girl who had shown up only about twentydown, put a foot on either side of his hips, and sat down on his lap--like it was an action she’d done a thousand ti as well, and then the next movements were so fast that it was hard to see who leaned in and reached for the other first As soon as their ether, I looked away and into Kira’s confused and apologetic eyes

"Do you want to leave?" she asked softly, but I shookers through his hair

"No No, I think we should stay"

After all the ti him away, I didn’t even care about the way it seethat had already happenedI was game

I’D BEEN TRYING to find Kennedy and Kira for the past twenty minutes It shouldn’t have been hard, ere all in my apartmentbut so were about thirty other people It only took fiveeveryone come back here after our day at the beach I should have known that our group of fifteen would quickly double in nu I wanted was to act like I was actually enjoying the night when all I wanted was a chance to talk to Kennedy alone

A pair of arertips found their way into the band of roan Okay, I also wanted Cecily to stop trying to otwhich was also part of the reason I needed to talk to Kennedy I hadn’tat me earlier after Cecily had kissed me--it’d been iure out why Cecily was trying to bring back our relationship and make it public suddenly

Sure, some people at work had knownbut that had been it Even if we had been at the same event or party, we stayed away fro in my office, or ere alone in either of our places Nothinghands, I pushed them away and turned to look at her Her dark eyes were pinned to e in them clear She wanted Kennedy to see this; she also wanted ive in to her as much as she wanted me to publicly announce e’d once had I held her stare until I was sure she was listening to what I was about to say "Cecily, you have to stop Whatever it e had is over--I thought I’d inally at my soft tone, and when her next questions caht She wanted a public scene--and she wanted one girl in particular to get a front-row seat "Since when, Liam? What is your deal lately? You have never once tried to push me away from you, and don’t try to deny it There are plenty of people who reafter"

I grabbed the back of her neck and brought her close to me "You really want to start this shit? No one will look bad after this except for you, believe that if nothing else" Her eyes widened, and I knew I had her She would do anything as long as she came out on top, and I would h, I released her and took a step away "You knohy things have changed, and you know they changed awhile ago This weekend isn’t anything new What I don’t get is why you’re suddenly letting soirl who’s been burned when there was never anything between us to burn"

Her expression went flat, and just when I saw her anger coh and prepared myself for whatever she would say, she turned and pushed through the people behind her-- her way to the door

"Whew Talk about drama," a husky voice said next todirectly beside lance,next to ed and turned to look behind her "Dancingsoo"
