“I’m fine. Or I will be once we leave this building.”
“Who knew there was such a thing as too much white?”
I opened my eyes, watching him pull the white vest over his head and laughed at his little dig at the eye-burning décor. It helped deflate my lust, though I kept hold of the sink.
My brother strode into the mirror area as if he were on the catwalk in Paris, his face scrunched up in disgust at his reflection.
“Look, I’m trying not to play the spoiled diva here,” he said rather theatrically. “But what the fuck is this shit?” He held up the deodorant can. “Sandalwood Touch? Yuck.”
Drake chuckled, fixing his beret in place.
How sexy he looked in a uniform, but did we really need the berets?
Overkill much?
I frowned at Isaac through the mirror, needing a distraction from Drake. “Really?”
He rolled his eyes, spraying his armpits. “I can’t help it. I’m a brat.”
“Hmmm. How to respond?”
He laughed. “At least I’m self-aware.”
“Yeah.” I giggled, finally relinquishing my grip on the sink. “Agree on the crappy smell.”
“As you should.” He dressed, obviously outdoing all of us despite wearing the same clothing.
Ugh. It wasn’t fair. Even the beret sat at the perfect, slightly jaunty angle.
Isaac checked himself in the mirror with a grimace. “I miss myDior.”
Drake moved closer to me. “You look amazing.” He offered me his superstar smile, threatening to unravel me.
“I do?” I squeaked, looking down at myself. “I don’t think so.”
“Hugging you in all the right places.”
God, did he have to flirt?
You love it!
Drake took another step closer, his expression shifting to serious. “I’m sorry, Riley. About everything. This is all my fault.”
He poked two bears—one of anger, one of a cuddly disposition.
“I’ll give you some space,” Isaac said, checking his watch. “You only have a few minutes, though.”
I gave Drake a hug because, well, why not? I just needed to hold him. He hugged me back, taking a deep breath.
The bears fell silent, taking a pause while we sidestepped into our own little world.
“We’ll talk properly later,” I said, my face in the crook of his neck.
He rubbed my back. “Alright.”
I lifted my head and kissed his cheek. “Let’s get this night over with.”
He kissed me back on the lips. “I’m right behind you.”
