“You did not answer my question, sir.”
“I’m not Gigi’s henchman. As far as I’m concerned, Gigi can go screw herself.”
“What?”
He nodded over to where Gigi was dancing with someone else. And his hands tensed on my waist.
“Oh. You’re in love with her?”
“I definitely didn’t use those words,” Eli said.
“But still.” I stared at Gigi. I was glad she wasn’t dancing with Jacob or Axel. Or Leo. I pressed my lips together. What had Leo smelled like again?Oh, right. Mint.“I know what it’s like to love someone and them not love you back. I’m sorry.”
He cleared his throat. “Like I said, Gigi can go screw herself.” He stared down at me. “You know...we almost kissed the other day.”
“Did we?”
“At the firepit after the game a few weeks ago. The day you had your kissing booth up.”
“Oh, right.” I remembered. “You wanted to kiss Soph.”
He shrugged.
That seemed very noncommittal for a kiss thief. I liked to think I knew my kiss thief. He was obsessed with me. There’d be no shrugs. He’d probably already be kissing me. I really didn’t think it was Eli. But just in case... “Let me measure you real quick.”
“What?”
I put one of my hands on his shoulders.Okay. Tall.I ran it down his abs to his hip.Definitely tall.How was I supposed to measure without a tape measurer though? “Are you over six feet?”
“I’m 6’2.”
“Yeah, you’re built kind of like Jacob. I don’t know why I can’t remember if he has broad shoulders.”
“Jacob?”
“No, I know Jacob has broad shoulders.”
“I’m so confused,” Eli said.
I patted his shoulder. “I’ll pay better attention this time. Have you seen Luis? I need to measure him too.”
“He’s getting a drink at the bar.”
I looked over at my dad handing Luis a drink. “Would you mind telling Luis that I’m formally requesting a dance? I’d do it myself. But I need to catch Sophie up on everything. Actually, wait, no.” I wasn’t in the mood to dance with that jerk. “Let’s do Zach the Stallion instead.”
Eli laughed. “What the hell did you just call Zach?”
“You know...stallion. Because of his massive member.”
Eli laughed harder. “Pretty sure it’s the size of my pinky finger. The dude never changes in the locker room.”
“Because he doesn’t want to shame you.”
“If you say so, Scarlett.”
“Good luck with Gigi.”
“I think I’ll try my luck with Sophie instead.” He winked at me and disappeared into the crowd.
