ABE lived in student housing three miles from Azura’s house. She could have walked there if it hadn’t been snowing and below freezing, but she probably would have tripped over every crack in the sidewalk...and she probably would have gotten hit by a car along the way too. Plus, it was comforting having Crew there when she was going to kiss strange guys.
That’s a weird sentence.
“Nice place,” Crew remarked, picking his way through the red plastic cups and random garbage littering the halls. “I don’t know how their RAs let them get away with this.”
“Maybe they tied their RA up and locked her in the closet.” Azura shrugged when Crew looked at her in surprise. “It could happen.”
“Crew, welcome.” Abe stood at the top of the stairs. He was more attractive than Evan but paled in comparison to Crew. His hair was longer and, at the moment, as matted as Azura’s, but he’d been well-groomed at the party. Taller than her, which wasn’t that easy because she was almost 5’9”, and skinny. No muscles to pull his band t-shirt tight across his shoulders like all of Crew’s did.
So...she compared everything on the planet to Crew now.
That wasn’t alarming.
Not alarming at all.
“Is this the chick who wants to kiss me?”
Crew’s hand tightened on Azura’s where hers rested on his other arm. “She just wants to break a curse.”
“I’m not a chick either. Do I look small and yellow to you?” Azura glared up at him. Already, kissing Evan beat kissing Abe.
Abe grinned, pushing his dull brown hair over his shoulder. “Feisty one. I like that. This will be fun.” He bounded down the stairs toward them, and reluctantly, Crew let go of her arm and she raised the mistletoe she’d brought along from his truck.
“Wait. I feel like I’m wasting an opportunity here.”
“Here it comes,” Crew muttered under his breath. She glanced sideways at him, but he was staring at something above Abe’s head, the muscle twitching in his jaw.
“Really, it’s late, so let’s just get this over with and you can go to bed.”
Abe grinned. “That’s one way to put it.”
“Seriously, dude...” Crew started, his hands balling into fists.
Abe laughed, holding up both his hands. They were caked in what Azura really, really hoped was chocolate. “Okay, that’s a little forward of me and I don’t want Crew to tear me to shreds. You’ve seen what he can do on a football field, right? Guy’s a monster.”
Azura rubbed her temple with her free hand, the other so tight on the mistletoe it threatened to snap. “I didn’t have time to go to any games this season but last year, yes. I saw what Crew could do on the field and I don’t think that classifies him as a monster when he’s just doing his job. What do you want so we can go?”
Crew’s fist relaxed and he grinned. “Aww, you watched me play football?”
“I watched football. You were there. Abe, where are we on that kiss?” she snapped.
Crew laughed, strangling it to a choke when she hissed at him.
