CHAPTER 15

After my shower, I walk out of the bathroom and nearly run into Simone.

“Oh, Hadley. Sorry! I thought you and Finn were in bed—asleep, I mean.”

I notice her wearing a jacket and carrying her purse. “Um, no. We were outside and now…we’re not.” I laugh nervously. Had long has she been here? She didn’t see us or rather, hear us, did she? She regards me amusingly. I’m guessing because of the panicked-look displaying on my face.

Her gaze falls and she nods with a smirk. “Cute PJ’s.” I glance down to my matching top and pants covered in brown teddy bears. My dad got them for me. They’re one of my favorite sets. “I bet they get Finn hot.” She snickers. I haven’t worn them around him before, but since he only sees me on the weekends, a snowsuit probably would rev him up.

Her amusement quickly morphs into suspicion. “What did my brother have you doing out there? It’s cold!”

I nervously play with strands of my hair. “We were just talking,” I say most definitely unconvincingly.

“Talking? Jeez. He couldn’t have talked to you in the house?” Simone isn’t sold on that. What a surprise.

“We were watching for shooting stars.” That was so dumb.

She shrewdly grins. “Did he also show you his Little Dipper?”

I suck in my bottom lip and avoid looking at her, trying not to laugh at Finn’s expense, yet exposing me as an obvious liar. Deciding not to shoot fish in a barrel, Simone instead asks, “Did you have fun at Easter Vigil?”

I smile and give her a sideways glance. “It was a riot. I especially loved the mosh pit.”

She nods and crooks up her lip. “Righteous.”

Crossing my arms, I avert my gaze to her purse and jacket. “It was really nice. Where’d you just get back from?”

“I was with my friend, Sharla. I haven’t seen her in a while. We went out for dinner and a movie.” Simone peers over my shoulder into the bathroom and then behind her to Finn’s door. “So, where’s my loser brother anyway? Is he continuing his piss fit tour?” Nope. He’s good now, aside from the fact that I turned down his request for me to take a shower with him; declining since I didn’t want anyone hearing us talking in the bathroom together, in which he replied with his new motto of not giving a fuck. He still lost that argument.

“He’s in his room. He might be asleep.”

She takes a step past me, jerking on my shirtsleeve. “Why don’t you visit me in my room then? We can chat for a bit.” I inwardly sigh. I really want to snuggle up with Sparks and go to sleep.

“Maybe for just a bit. I’m kind of tired.” Having wild, outdoor sex will do that to a person. “Let me drop off my clothes in his room.”

“No prob.”

When I open his door to go in, I see my Prince Charming already crashed out on his usual side of the bed. I set my clothes down next to my suitcase and walk quietly over to the full-size bed.
