Lucy

“You know there is some kind of epic bug going around at the moment, right?”

“Mm?” I was barely paying attention to Kin as we walked through the halls at school Friday afternoon. Most of the day I’d been spaced out, unable to keep my mind from going back to the night before. The way I’d felt when Harris had told me he loved me. The way my body had become one throbbing ache when he’d kissed me…

“Lucy, there is a seriously bad bug going around this school. At least a third of the student body is out with it.” She tapped her fingers against the back of my hand. “And yet you have done nothing but touch your mouth all day.”

I frowned at her and then nearly crossed my eyes as I glanced down at where my index and middle fingers were tracing over my bottom lip. It still felt full, still tingled from Harris’s kiss. I hadn’t even realized I’d been touching it. Muttering a curse, I quickly dropped my hand.

Kin was right. A good part of the school was out sick. I wasn’t sure if it was an actual bug or if it was just our fellow students had wanted a few extra days off before our month-long Christmas break. But I had seen at least two girls with sniffles the day before and couldn’t remember if I’d seen them earlier that day or not.

My friend suddenly stopped walking, her hand coming out to grasp my arm and forcing me to stop beside her. I glanced back over my shoulder to see if Marcus was his usual five steps behind, shadowing me from one class to another. Like always, he was where I expected him to be.

The school day was basically over, and we were headed toward the parking lot where my Range Rover was parked. Kin normally road home with me, but since her stepmother had nearly shit a brick the night before over Georgia being carted to their front door with her hands still zip tied—something I had to thank Harris’s security team for doing when I saw them later. Which meant that unless something major happened, Kin wouldn’t be leaving her house for the next few days because she was officially grounded. So today she had to ride home with her stepsisters.

In my opinion that was punishment enough, having to risk possible death on the ride with Georgia at the wheel. I couldn’t say much for my own skills as a driver since I rarely got to do any driving, but I’d seen Georgia in action. She’d nearly taken out our mailbox at least twice since she’d gotten her license, and we didn’t even live on the same street.

“What’s up with you today?” Kin asked.

Without thinking about what I was doing, my fingers went back to my bottom lip, tracing over the tingle that still lingered. Harris had been so worked up he’d actually bit me. I’d liked it. A lot. Blue eyes narrowed on my hand and I hastily dropped it.
