Chapter 18

Back outside, Gillian’s bright smile gave the late afternoon sun a run for its money. “That was so good.” She pursed her lips. “No one puts baby in the corner.”

Katie grinned, expecting her to swoon over Johnny Castle’s chivalry. Her smile faltered when Gillian asked her a question instead. “What was your favourite part?”

Shit, think, think, think. She’d been so distracted after the encounter in the bathroom, the rest of the movie had been a blur.

“Um...” She paused, searching her brain. When her gaze landed on the poster advertising the movie, she said the first thing that came to mind. “The dirty dancing.”

“Oh, you like that?” Gillian waggled her eyebrows. “Wanna go somewhere more private, show me your moves?”

And there she went again, discombobulating Katie’s mind. Katie wouldn’t know a sexy move if it bit her on the arse.

When Paul sidled up to them, Katie wanted to kick him and kiss him at the same time. The urge to poke Anita’s eyes out followed quickly behind. Ignoring all of those impulses, she plastered on a smile.

“Hey.”

Gillian spun on her heel. “Cuz!”

Worry lines marched across Anita’s perfectly made-up face. While Paul and Gillian were chatting, she mouthed, ‘We all good.’

Keeping up the charade, Katie willed her smile to stay in place. She replied with a single nod.

“Wanna come over for a beer?” Paul asked.

“Maybe another time,” Gillian said. “I promised the old lady I’d be straight home.”

“Are you eight or eighteen?” Anita scoffed.

Paul shot her a look.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Gillian interjected. “I have two little brothers, eight and ten. It’s Mum and Dad’s date night, so I’m babysitting.”

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

“Cute,” Anita said. She turned her gaze on Paul and fluttered her long lashes. “We should have a date night.”

“We have one, tonight. My flat, my room.” He pinched her backside, and she giggled. “My bed.”

Gag.

They wandered off and tension drained out of Katie’s shoulders. Paul seemed nice enough, but the thought of being groped by a guy turned her stomach. As for Anita, she made her nauseous, period.

“So, you up for that milkshake?” Gillian asked.

“Don’t you need to get home?” Katie frowned, certain she’d just said she was babysitting.

A gorgeous smile curved Gillian’s lips. Images of leaning in and kissing those full, red lips danced through Katie’s mind. Trying hard not to blush, she diverted her gaze.

“I told a white lie. Mum and Dad do have date nights but tonight’s not one of them.”

“Why would you do that?” Katie asked, seconds before the penny dropped.

When Gillian didn’t say anything, doubt niggled at Katie’s insides. Perhaps she’d read the situation wrong and Gillian hadn’t made her excuses so they could spend time alone.

“Why do you find it so hard to believe I want to spend time with you?” Gillian asked as though reading her thoughts.

“I don’t find it…” Katie paused. There was no point in lying. “I don’t know why.”

“Why I want to spend time with you, or why you find
