“Talk,” she demanded.
“Well…I really have work to finish up.”
She swiveled and looked at our confused friends. “I just caught her outside…with Caden.”
Sierra frowned. “Okay.”
“She had her legs wrapped around his waist and her tongue in his mouth. He looked about five seconds away from doing her against the wall of the hotel.”
Sierra gasped, and Jazz’s mouth dropped open.
“Oh, my God,” Jazz breathed.
“What happened to steering clear of him?” Sierra shot me a grin. “That you didn’t need a man?”
I rolled my eyes to the ceiling. “We… It’s… We were doing something for work…”
“Really?” Sierra said. “Something that involves kissing his brains out?”
“No, I was helping him with a security thing. And…” I trailed off.
“You really, really like him,” Tessa said.
I felt a lick of panic. I could see Tessa going into matchmaker mode. “Guys, we’re all on the clock. Don’t you have work to do?”
Tessa pulled a face. “You’re right. Cocktails at my place. Tonight.”
“I can’t. Ollie and I are making burgers. And he has some sort of craft thing I need to help him with for school.”
“Tomorrow.” Tessa got a stubborn look on her face.
I edged toward the door. “Maybe.”
“You know you aren’t getting out of this, girl,” Sierra said. “We all know you’ve had a long dry spell, and we want the details.”
“We kissed, that’s it.”
Sierra crossed her arms. “Twice, now.”
“Um…”
Tessa made a sound. “More than twice. You’ve been keeping secrets.”
“I’ve got to go.” I edged for the door.
“We’ll get them out of you over cocktails,” Sierra called out.
I escaped.
The thing was, I hadn’t worked out what was going on with Caden or how I felt. I couldn’t talk to my friends about it because I just didn’t know what to say.
As I entered the lobby, one of the receptionists waved at me. “Oh, Allie, a kid just vomited in the restaurant.”
Ah, vomit to the rescue. “I’ll get someone there ASAP.”
