Can’t wait to meet her friends .” I held my cup up to his, and he mashed it to mine. Tonight was looking promising, and it was a relief not to worry about Delaney, even though a part of me wished I would’ve told her to come.
It didn’t take long for the apartment to fill up with half of the team. In fact, it ended up being a bigger party than we wanted. Everyone brought someone with them, so it was more than just close friends. Riley and Winston didn’t seem to mind, and it was a good idea that we moved it to their apartment because Collin would’ve been pissed.
The door opened, and a few girls walked in. I recognized some of them, but the last person I expected to see was Delaney. Immediately our gazes connected, creating a stirring I tried hard to ignore but couldn’t. Her long dark waves fell over her shoulders, some spilling to the front and covering her plump breasts, which were obvious through her fitted shirt. When she blinked, her thick lashes seemed to put me in a stupor, begging me to come to her.
“Hey, Luke, this is Jordan.” He slapped my stomach with the back of his hand, breaking the trance.
“Ugh.” One hand landed on my stomach and the other one on my mouth, covering the loud belch he caused. “Excuse me.” I turned my head to the side. “Nice to meet you.” I smiled, but didn’t shake her hand.
“Hi,” she said, with a cute, high-pitched voice.
“Forbes can’t stop talking about you.” I placed my hand on his shoulder and gave him a tight squeeze. “Isn’t that right?”
“Really?” Her pale green eyes sparkled to life as she turned to Forbes for confirmation.
“So, who are your friends?” Forbes asked, ignoring my comment and her reaction.
“Oh, this is Gaby,” she took a step back, “and this is Delaney.”
Forbes’ head spun around, and he shot me a wide eye look. “Glad you ladies could come. And Delaney, I know Luke is thrilled you made it. He’s been watching the door all night for you.” He cleared his throat and muttered, “Gotcha back, dog.”
Delaney’s jaw dropped, and her mouth opened for a few seconds before closing. I wanted to hit him on the back of the head and remind him we weren’t making our hookups public, but gave him a hard stare instead.
“Who wants a drink?”
Gaby and Jordan both did and followed him to the kitchen.
Once they were out of hearing range, I turned toward Delaney. “So, how did you hear about the party?” I asked, even though I knew the answer.
“From Jordan.” She took my beer from my hand and took a drink. “Forbes told her.” The cup lowered, and her eyes narrowed. “Do you not want me here? Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No, I don’t. And if you want to stay, it makes no difference to me,” I replied, trying to keep the conversation short. For the past week I had managed to avoid her in Spanish class. I still hadn’t talked her about what we had going on. It didn’t seem to bother her, so I did my best to ignore the weird feelings stirring inside of me.
“In that case, see ya later.” She pushed past me toward the dining area where Jordan and Gaby were standing.
I shook my head, not sure why either of us hooked up in the first place.
By 10 p.m., Mateo and Ali had finally showed up and everyone seemed to be having a good time, except for me. Riley was hanging all over Delaney, and she seemed to be enjoying every minute of it. I hated the way he stared at her, like he wanted a taste of her, or already knew what she tasted like. I was confident she was putting on a show, determined to make me jealous. And it worked, because after an hour of watching them flirt with each other, I finally made a move.
“We need to talk.” I grabbed Delaney’s hand.
“What?” She protested at first, trying to yank her hand away.
“What the hell, Luke? I was talking to her.” Riley started to stand, but I pushed him back down on the couch.
“Back off, Riley,” I warned him, holding my position. “Go find
