Nova clamps her lips together and drops back onto the mattress. “You won’t let me live this down, will you?”
I snicker and shake my head. “Not even after death.”
She groans and throws her arm over her eyes.
I leave her room and shut the bathroom door behind me.
She wants me. My innocent little sister isn’t so innocent now, is she?
Now knowing this, she can’t convince me otherwise. No matter how much she tries to act like she doesn’t feel the way she does about me, no matter how into this asshole Brandon she pretends to be, she’s slowly joining me on the dark and forbidden side.
She wants to learn how to lure a guy in? I’ll give her what she wants. I’ll teach her, but I’m now playing by my rules.
TWENTY-ONE

Olivia
um, excuse me?? It’s been days and no answer?? Who the hell are u dating? and why haven’t u told me about him?
It’s nothing serious
Serious enough to post on Instagram though
So who is he?
Okay,so this is a good sign. She doesn’t recognize Aiden’s tattoos yet. So maybe I can lie about who?—
A new message pings on my phone, and I read the incoming texts from Olivia.
Now that I’m looking at the pics again, his tattoos look freakishly similar to Aiden’s.
Wait
Is it Aiden, and that’s why his face isn’t in the pics?
No judgement. I swear!
We’re not dating
So it *is* Aiden! I’m good!
You’re not dating? But the post…
He’s helping me with a guy I have a crush on. I swear this was his idea, and he’s pretending to be my boyfriend.
Okay that wasn’t a bad idea
U two r really committed to this con
Olivia sends a screenshot of Aiden and me kissing. My stomach flips at the memories it drags to the surface. Specifically, last night in the bathroom.
Gotta do what you gotta do
U know what? Hell yeah, girl.
Is the plan working?
