Chapter Nine

The best part about Brittany being rich was not having to clean up anything. We grazed on food, including grilled steak and shrimp and tuna and so many other amazing foods, that I had to carefully restrain myself from eating too much. Especially since the other girls were totally pigging out. But girls my size just can’t eat that way. At least, not around guys. The guys, however, barely moved away from the table where Brittany’s buffet was set up.

If there had been one thing needed to make the guys love her more, this spread of food was it.

But somehow, I didn’t mind anymore. She was every bit as nice as Dante had sworn she was.

Well, honestly, it was probably that I now knew she didn’t have a thing for Dante. And after watching her, I believed it. Her eyes never followed him around the way they did Ridge.

Hey, I’m observant too.

“What are you thinking about?”

I looked up as Dante came over toward me from the pool. Drops of water sluiced down his bronzed skin like crystal beads until they splashed in dark splotches on the sun-baked patio. I had found a seat on the outdoor sofa where I could lay back and watch the sunset over the ocean and read. At least, I had my book propped open on my chest because usually, people left me alone if I was reading.

When Dante sat down next to me, though, I straightened, all at once feeling awkward. Why did laying next to him make me feel all fluttery?

“What am I thinking about?” I asked, just to give myself time to come up with an answer that didn’t embarrass me? “I guess I was just wondering if Ridge knows Brittany has a thing for him.”

Dante turned to where Ridge sat on a bench in front of the firepit with a guitar, strumming the chords for some song I didn’t recognize.

Ridge was the strong, silent type. And that was putting it lightly. He attacked life with a single-minded focus that didn’t allow for much messing around. He occasionally laughed at the rest of us when we were being especially dorky, but mostly he was just always kind of there in the background. But also not really there—like his mind was somewhere else. I don’t know if he thought about saving the oceans or solving world hunger, but I knew it had to be something epic and good.

One thing he did not seem to care about was dating.

Dante seemed to have come to the same conclusion. “Yeah, I think he does. But I don’t think he knows what to do about it.”

I bit my lip for a second. “Think we need to invite him to the Virgin Lips Club and help him out there?”

With an appreciative chuckle, Dante leaned back on the sofa, stretching his arm across the back. “Yeah, no. I didn’t mean he didn’t know what to do. I mean, he doesn’t know what to do about Brittany specifically. Kind of like Liv over there doesn’t know what to do about Cooper.
