Blonde with actual boobs and a fantastic cheerleader since she didn’t have the curse of tripping over her own feet.

Daisy forced a bright smile, so brittle she was sure her cheeks would crack.

Cash frowned, uncertainty pouring out of him. “Are you sure you’re okay with this?”

Was she okay with this? Was he serious? Didn’t he get it?

“Oh, no, I think it’s great. I’m happy for you.”

There was that word again.

Great.

No. It was not, in fact, great.

But what the heck else was she supposed to say? That she loved him and she always would and she hoped that maybe he would feel the same?

Pathetic much?

“Good,” Cash said, though he was still looking at her strangely. As if he were waiting on her to say something. Almost begging her to.

Then he cleared the roughness from his throat as he dragged his fingers through his hair. “Good. Yeah. Because I’m going to need to get your seal of approval since mine is going to be required when some asshole comes around thinking he’s good enough for you.”

He choked a weird laugh.

Right.

Like that was going to happen.

That stupid fake smile she wore just kept getting bigger and bigger.

Cash’s door suddenly burst open.

Daisy screamed, and her hands flew up to cover her face, though she peeked out through her fingers.

Laughter rolled from Matthew, who stood in the doorway, still holding onto the knob. His expression twisted into a smirk, and she could almost smell the alcohol radiating from him.

“I fucking knew it. My baby bro is getting some from the weird girl down the street.”

“Fuck off, Matthew. Told you we’re just friends.”

Matthew’s laughter only grew. “Doesn’t mean you’re not dipping your dick in the goods.”

“I have a girlfriend,” Cash shot out.

Mischief played through Matthew’s features. “Still doesn’t mean you’re not dipping your dick in the goods.”

Daisy pressed her hands tighter to her face.

Could this get any worse?

Any more mortifying?

Oh, but it could.

“What’s going on in here?”

Daisy peeked out when she heard the voice to find Cash’s mom poking her head around the side of Matthew.
