Luca: Better yet, tell et you and take you home myself

While Jagger told the hostess we needed a table for four, Shaw pulled lanced down at my phone screen “What’s up?”

“He wants to coet me,” I told her with a roll of my eyes

“Not surprising” She lifted one perfect brow at me “What’s the problem?”

Sighing, I opened ht at the top ofthe phone, I let her see it

My bestie frowned, then aze “I still don’t understand what the problem is”

I tapped the screen “That is Megan Hawthorn”

“So?”

“Are you being obtuse on purpose, or is it a blonde thing?” I shoved the phone in her face again “Read what Lyric wrote”

She narrowed her blue eyes at me but did as I said I watched her lips move as she silently read the caption then lifted that daain “That’s exactly what I would expect Lyric to write I’ht now Maybe givea total horndog have to do with you being mad at Luca?”

“They do everything together, and there’s Lyric talking about banging the entire cheer squad, and bitchy Megan Hawthorn is standing there looking at my man like…” I sed the sudden lump in my throat “Like I look at him,” I whispered

Sharapped her arly “Ah, Vi I know you’re still sensitive over the whole thing, but just listen to ave a small nod, and she pulled back to look down atup And in the past two er watching him like a hawk for me Whatever—I’ve had eyes on him He doesn’t even look that bitch’s way She’s tried to talk to hiive her two seconds of his attention He loves you, Violet And he’s trying to et that, but this is Luca we’re talking about I’d be scared of hiain”

“Really?” She gave , “He hasn’t talked to her once?”

“No, babe Not once”
