“How much did you have to drink, Ce?” I ask.
She pouts and gives me the most adorable expression. “Aww, Dilly.”
I look at Scott, who’s eyeing her.
“I’m taking you home,” I say.
She jumps out of my reach and shakes her head. “No! No, you cannot take me home. Alix and Dane will be there.”
I sigh. “I highly doubt they’re going to be there.”
She walks across the room. “No, I can’t go home tonight. Please don’t make me.”
“You can’t stay here,” I point out.
Scott adds, “Just take her back to our place.” His eyes meet mine like he’s telling me,You’re welcome.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she says, plopping on the bed.
“I’ll buy you Skittles.”
She points at me and says, “A snickers.”
“Okay.”
She walks over to us. Scott is watching her like a hawk.
She says, “What about that girl you were with? I don’t want to––”
“It was nothing.”
“Nothing?” she asks, and I hate that Scott is still standing here, watching us interact.
Scott says, “That was Viv. I put him up to it because I thought Dylan lost his game. I was trying to get this asshole laid, but apparently, you’ve been taking care of that.”
“As a friend,” she adds. “But it’s a secret, Scott, soshhh.”
Scott coughs. “It’s not now. Everybody heard Dane.”
Her face hardens, and then she looks at me. “I’m sorry, Dilly.”
I shrug. “It’s whatever.”
“You’re not embarrassed?” she asks.
Scott laughs, covering his mouth. “She’s funny.” He points at her. “You’re hilarious, Ce. Dylan? Be embarrassed? Why would he be embarrassed?”
She blushes, so I grab Scott’s shoulders to end the conversation there. “I’m gonna get her out of here. You good?”
Scott nods. “I’ll catch a ride with Westley.”
“Ce?” I say, extending a hand to her. “Ready?”
She grabs my bicep, so naturally my hand lands on her body. I run my fingertips where my hand lands, and then she intertwines her fingers with mine. We leave Rocky’s room and walk across the lawn. Scott follows behind.
When we step onto the patio, Rocky says, “Are you two a thing finally?”
Ce releases my hand and leans over Rocky, placing both her hands on either side of him with her tits in his face. I catch him looking and bite my tongue.
