“But wait—” I bit my lip before I teased, “You’re going to put on clothes, right? Unless you’re involved in some sort of nudist religion.” Levi choked on his last bite of bread, and Brooks, to no surprise, rolled his eyes. But Nolan grinned. “No. But dammit, now I really wish I was.”
“What is wrong with you?” I mumbled when Nolan widened his legs like a starfish, cramming mine against Levi’s. “Stop moving.” He adjusted in his seat, pulling at his jeans—different from any kind I’d seen in California. “I didn’t put on underwear. Everything’s sitting funny.”
“Maybe you can make me a loaf of that banana bread.” I nodded and put my back to him, hiding the way I grinned—refusing to expose my excitement. Look out, Pioneer Woman.
Scratch that. Run me over, Pioneer Woman.
“Okay, that’s alright. Don’t give it to me. But when aliens invade the planet and I’m the first to know, don’t blame me when you get abducted because I couldn’t get ahold of you.” I stared at him. Who was this? This loose, at-ease man teasing me was not Brooks. “If aliens were to invade the planet, I highly doubt you’d try to warn me.” “That’s a lie. I’d need someone to act as bait so Cash and I could get away.”
“There’s nothing getting in my way—” “Son of a—” The door slammed shut, blocking out the rest of my unsuspecting victim’s curse after I whacked—literally whacked—them with the door. I bolted outside, my worst fear coming true when I found the devil on his knees. “Brooks?”
“Something tells me he pulled some strings in heaven and brought you here to raise a little hell for us.”
He rested his head on the wheel, looking at me as he smirked. “You’re gonna do whatever you want anyway, so I may as well be okay with it.” I rolled my eyes, but reached into my pocket for my phone. “I’ll take your number then.” He raised a brow, his eyes gleaming with mischief. “What if I don’t want you to have it? For all I know, you’ll use it to prank call me at one a.m.” “But what if the aliens come?” He huffed a laugh and reached for the door handle. “Tough luck, sunshine.” I scowled at his grin. Did he call me sunshine? “But we’re friends.”
“You and I both know we aren’t friends.”
