“Yes.”
“Every night?”
“Yes.”
He drops his hands to my hips and pulls me back to him, crashing his mouth against mine, this time withpassionthat is electrifying. I clutch at the lapels of his suit coat, holding myself to him. I could kiss him forever.
When he pulls away from me again, just a fraction, he murmurs, “About thisfakegirlfriend thing.”
“Are we having another relationship talk? So soon?” I tease. I lean up and kiss one corner of his lips.
“I’d like to drop the fake part.” He kisses along my jaw, and I melt further into him.
“Just like that?” The words are barely audible. Caleb has turned me into a puddle.
He answers by moving his mouth to mine again.
Caleb
I have a confession to make.
Malia was indeed my fake girlfriend meant to keep Mom from trying to set me up all weekend.
But Malia is no longer my fake anything.
Just so you guys know.
Devin
Yeah, making out does wonders for fake relationships.
So I hear.
Caleb
You were spying on me?? Again?
You guys have GOT to get lives of your own.
Jett
Nah, bro. You had lipstick all over your face when you came back in. You should get that taken care of.
Law
Caleb
Not even really that embarrassed, tbh
CHAPTER 16
CALEB
When Law and Carlie leave the reception to head to the airport for their honeymoon, I stand with Malia just off the path, arm around her shoulders, holding her close to me. She’s resting against my side, and I can’t help planting a soft kiss on top of her head.
Carlie catches my eye as she and Law stop on their way by. I let go of Malia to hug my sister goodbye.
“Knew it,” she whispers.
