My sister storms past us, glaring at us in turn as she whispers under her breath, “Dicks.”
“You know,” I drawl, sliding my sunglasses on and closing my eyes. Pointless, I know, but it still made it that little bit darker for me. “If you like my sister?—”
Crane groans, cutting me off. “I don’t.”
“Yeah? It seems like it.”
Crane makes a face at me before punching me on the shoulder.
“Why? Because I help you keep her safe? I do that for you, bro.”
“Why do you go all weird when she’s around? You know I wouldn’t give a shit if you and she got together.”
It’s true—I wouldn't.
Crane is a good guy, and it would be nothing short of amusing to see him and Sierra as a couple.
“Stop being a prick,” Crane mutters, glancing back to the house. “She drives me mad, bud. I don’t know how you put up with her.”
I sigh, lifting off the seat to make a better cup of coffee.
“With your help, of course. Can you stay for dinner tonight? You know I’ll end up knocking Declan out if he tries it on with my sister.”
Crane doesn’t respond, tapping away on his phone.
“Hello?” I yawn, stretching.
I could go to the gym today, but part of me wanted to laze in bed and watch movies.
“Sorry. Liza,” Crane mumbles, carrying his mug over to me, dropping it into the dishwasher like he lives here.
“Liza, huh?” I taunt, knowing Crane will react.
“Fuck off, man. You know what she’s like.”
“You keep giving her the good stuff, she’s gonna keep coming back for more. Anyway, what’re you moaning about? Liza is hot.”
Liza Jones is in my sister's year and head cheerleader. She’d recently broken up with her boyfriend, Jaden, and found herself in Crane’s bed more than once.
I wouldn’t mind her curvy ass in my bed, as long as she kept quiet. All she ever seems to do is chat shit, and I really don’t give a flying fuck about anything she has to say.
“Liza Jones?” Sierra frowns, walking in to refill her orange juice. “Ew, you better not, Kai. That’s all I need.”
“Oh no.” I grin, winking at Crane, who rolls his eyes at me. “Liza is with Crane.”
A flicker of disbelief darkens in my sister's eyes, and I watch as she collects herself, biting her bottom lip with a shrug.
“Oh. Well, in that case, I don’t care.”
Crane watches her, and I notice how his eyes trail down her slowly, drinking her in.
Does he think I’m fucking blind?
“Your jealous eyes say otherwise, Sierra.” Crane winks at her as she turns to him, outraged.
“Jealous? OfLiza Jones?Pfft. Hardly. She’s good at sucking dick, though, according to Jaden.”
Crane frowns, glancing at me at the mention of Jaden.
