Too Sweet (Hayes Brothers #3)(102)

I’ve been so preoccupied with Vee I hadn’t noticed him join the gathering. There are more people around than when Rose and I got here, but no one talks or tries to elbow their way to the kegs on the table.

“No, but they follow you around if they like you,” Vee admits, flashing a beautiful smile.

She throws beer at me, then tries to fix my costume, slaps my face, and now she’s... flirting. At least, I think that’s flirting.

I’m so fucking confused my head hurts.

“Now’s the time to ask me out,” she adds impatiently, glancing at her wristwatch: one of those novelty watches you win at the arcades. Hers has Donald Duck on the face.

“Dinner,” I blurt out like we’re playing Taboo, and I’m on the clock. There’s no time to think. “Tomorrow.”

“Ruby’s Diner, nine-thirty,” she confirms, and with that, she turns around, pulling Rose behind her.

What the hell just happened?
