I felt Jeff’s thigh brush against mine and my eyes widened as I realized I had been staring at him.Fuck.That was twice in one day I had been caught staring at a man.And this was Jeff
My face heated as I cleared my throat.He was obviously asking me to bail him out.I tuned in just in time to catch Lily’s last words.
“…so maybe when you get off,I could meet you there?”She twisted her hair with her fingers,and it looked like she was trying to puff out her lips.I didn’t understand why girls did that.What was sexy about duck lips?
His leg pressed harder against mine and I finally jumped in.“Jeff,don’t forget,you promised your mom you would come straight home since you have to leave so early in the morning.”
He turned to me with such relief,I almost laughed out loud.“Damn!I forgot.Thanks for reminding me.”He shrugged.“Sorry,Lily.Completely forgot I can’t go anywhere tonight.”
She pouted and her shoulders slumped.“Okay.Maybe another time?”Her voice,though quieter,sounded hopeful.
