My eyes narrowed “Yeah What’s wrong with that?”

“This thing could double as a weapon You could hit , kill ation Discovery”

I rolled my eyes “That’s a bit excessive”

“Whatever” He tossed the book to the other side of the bed “Were you getting ready for bed?”

“I was getting ready to read before I was rudely interrupted,” I joked Forcing ed my way over to where he was now stretched out on his side, lying there like it was his bed, cheek resting on his fist “But someone, no names mentioned, is now here”

His lips kicked up at the sides “Want me to leave?”

“No”

“Didn’t think so” He patted the spot next to hi I’ve missed”

Ordering myself not to act like a complete dork, I sat on the bed, which wasn’t easy because of the shirt I so did not want to flash him Or maybe I did want to flash him But he probably didn’t want that

“You haven’tat my bedroom door Thank God I’d closed it already “Keith’s thrown a couple of parties—”

“You went to them without me?” He pressed his hand to his chest “My heart It hurts”

I grinned at hi theo by myself And so what if I did?”

The grin went up a notch “Did he have any down by the lake?”

Shaking led my toes “No Just at his place”

“Cool” When I looked over at him, his lashes were lowered His free hand rested on the bed between us His fingers were long and slender, skin tan fro else? Go out with anyone?”

I stoppedback toward him That was a random question “Not really”

An eyebrow rose as his gaze lifted to mine

I quickly changed the subject “By the way, guess who stopped in at Joanna’s tonight, asking about you?”

“Who wouldn’t stop by asking about me?”

I shot him a bland look

He grinned “Who?”

“Skylar Apparently she’s beenher”

“I haven’t been ignoring her” He reached up, knocking the flop of hair off his forehead “I just haven’t been responding”

A frown turned down the corners of ?”

“What did she want?” he asked instead of answering

“To talk to you” I leaned back against the headboard and grabbed the pillow, thrusting it into my lap “She said She askedfor you”

“Well, look at you, doing as you’re told” He paused, his grin increasing “For once”

I chose to ignore that co up with you was a mistake”

His head jerked back and that grin faded “She said that?”

My heart started pounding in my chest He sounded surprised Was that a happy surprise or bad one? Did he still care about her? “Yeah”

Sebastian didn’t move for a second and then shook his head “Whatever” His handthe pillow out of my lap He shoved it under his head

“Help yourself,” Ithe shirt back up my shoulder

“Just did” He smiled up at me “You have another freckle”

“What?” I turned my head to hiot hit with a freckle cannon “There is no way you can tell if I have another freckle”

“I can tell Lean over I can even show you where”

I hesitated, eyeing him
