Staying still was proving to be more difficult than I thought.
“Was it because I was talking to the cheerleaders?”
What? He was talkin??I felt myself tense slightly. I hadn’t even noticed until my eyes widened. Crap, I hope he didn’t notice.
“Ahhhh, so I’m close! Was it because I went out that night?”
Why was I sitting here, letting him interrogate me?
“Getting warmer… hmm, let’s see… Was it because you saw me with Lauren?”
I tensed up again, and he must have felt it because he whipped his head back to look at me in disbelief.
“That’s it, isn’t it? You saw me with Lauren! You’re jealous!” His grin widened with each word. He was hitting the nail on the head, but I wasn’t about to let him know that.
I wasn’t jealous, per se. It just didn’t feel good watching that scene unfold.
“No, why would I be jealous?”
“You’re jealous, baby doll! I’m guessing you saw her kiss me? I remember you mentioning something about me being with a girl and then you mentioned Lauren when I called you.”
“I didn’t see anything. Don’t flatter yourself, Carter. I’m not jealous, nor will I ever be. I don’t do jealousy. I couldn’t care less if you two kissed-“
“Correction, she kissed me, for the cameras. I stopped it immediately. But let me guess, you turned the
TV off?”
“Damn right I turned the TV off. I’m not about to watch you play tonsil tennis with Miss USA.”
“So you did see her kiss me. I knew it.”
“Yes, fine, I saw you kiss. But that’s not the reason
“It is. I know when you’re lying, baby doll. You can’t lie to me. Just admit you were jealous. You wanted my lips on yours.” His statement caught me off guard, and I sat up slightly, hovering above him but not close enough to touch.
“Goodbye, Knox.”
“I’m not going anywhere until you admit it.”
“Well, I guess you’ll be sitting here for the rest of your life then.” I tried to pull my hand out of his, but he tightened his grip and leaned in until his lips were lightly brushing against my ear.
“Admit that you were jealous, baby doll. I wouldn’t blame you.” He kissed my ear and smacked my ass. “Damn, I love your butt.” He lay back down and waited for me to say it.
I was stubborn, and he knew that I wasn’t going to admit it. Not by a long shot. Then it clicked, remembering what Andy said during our girl talk.
He must’ve been jealous of Caleb then. I smirked to myself and leaned into his ear, causing him to tense slightly.
“If you touch me like that again, I’ll have to bring you to the hospital to get my foot removed from your ass… I’ll admit it when you admit you were jealous of Caleb on New Year’s.”
I sealed the statement with a kiss on the lower part of his ear, making him groan. Andy taught me well. I can tease when I want to tease. My powers are being put to good use to find out if he was jealous of
Caleb.
“I wasn’t jealous of that dimwit. Why would I be?” I just smiled down at him and settled myself back onto the sand-covered towel. We continued to stare at each other, riling each other up to see who would cave first.
I took off his glasses when he took mine off. The intensity of his stare was making me hot. I could feel the heat rise up between my legs and I subtly closed them over to stop it from being noticeable.
My other hand played with the sand above my head. I felt him lean closer to me, our lips were millimeters apart. Feeling his hot breath on my lips sent tingles everywhere around my body.
“I don’t get jealous, baby doll.”
I smirked up at him, causing my lips to brush his. I saw his jaw clench. “Good, I wouldn’t want you to be upset if I went out with that guy over there.” He closed his eyes and let out a grunt.
“Stop trying to piss me off, baby doll. It’ll backfire. He’s not good enough for you.”
“Is someone jealous?” I teased and backed away from him, although all I wanted to do was to press my lips to his and pull him on top of me. But I couldn’t, for so many reasons.
But you don’t like him, Alex.
“Like I said, I don’t get jealous.” He turned to face the sky once more with a squeeze of my hand. I could see his jaw was tense. Then I saw him look over at Matt, the guy who gave me his number.
He stared hard at him. Not jealous my ass. He doesn’t like you, Alex, this is him being protective again. The more logical side of my brain was being a little more active today.
I closed my eyes back over and felt him stir after a while of just lying there. His face was away from me every time I opened my eyes to look at him.
I felt his breath once more and I was about to open my eyes when I felt his lips on mine. It was light and a peck, but I froze. He just kissed me, on the beach, in public, where people could see us. I pulled away from him.
“Are you crazy? What if the media were here?” I hissed quietly at him.
He had a wicked smile on his face like he was plotting something. “I don’t care. Let them see.”
“Knox, you’ve lost your damn mind! I’m going back into the water.”
“I’m coming with you.”
“No, you’re not!”
“Yes, I am.”
“Knox-“
“I can do what I want, baby doll!”
