Chapter 17

“I told them not to trust you,” he continued. “Looks like I was right, and they’ll have to listen to me now.”

“Hi, Everett. Why don’t you pull up a chair and join us, instead of listening to our conversation like some kind of fucking creep? Or is that pretty much all you’re good at? Judging me and then leaving?” Mallory shot back. “What are you doing here, anyway?”

He glared at her. “Nico was worried.”

“Mal, that’s the guy,” Eliza hissed. “The one who was asking about you.”

“So he sent you to find me?” She shook her head. “Also fucking creepy. Are all of you spying on me now, instead of just Matt?”

“You really are delusional, aren’t you?” Everett spat.

“He already admitted that he’s been filling out reports on me and submitting them to work,” Mallory said as she sat back in her chair. She’d almost said to Fitzam’s office, but remembered in time that that information was classified, and she couldn’t say it in front of Amy and Eliza, no matter how much she trusted them. “Don’t try to cover for him.”

“I don’t believe you.”

Eliza and Amy stayed quiet, watching Mallory and Everett. Well, Amy did, but Eliza’s eyes pretty much stayed on Everett. His baby blue long-sleeved tee and dark jeans contrasted nicely, pulling the focus from his muscled shoulders down to his flat belly, hinting at the form beneath his clothes. Even Mal would have admitted that he looked damn good with his dark hair falling in loose curls over his forehead if he wasn’t such a dick.

She blinked as she realized that it had been him downstairs, too. He’d grabbed her in the crowd, but she hadn’t recognized him in the dim lighting, much less with the glasses on, and pushed him away. Oops.

“I don’t care if you believe me or not. Ask him yourself. He’s out to dinner with some guy named Pohler right now, who is forcing him to complete his last report before he goes back to Kinsolving tonight.”

“Pohler? You’re sure?”

Mallory cocked her head at his change in tone. “Yeah. Why does that matter?”

Everett ran a hand through his hair. “Don’t worry about it.”

“I thought you don’t keep secrets from each other?”

He sighed. “Me too, Party Girl. Enjoy your night.”

“What, that’s all? You came up here to chew my ass just for talking about my feelings for your friends, who are really confusing by the way, and now you’re going to leave? I thought you hated touching people, so why are you in a dance club?”

“Looking for you.”

“How did you know she was here?” Eliza ventured. “What?” she asked as they both looked at her. “It’s a valid question. Did you tell anyone where we were going tonight, Mal? You haven’t been on your phone at all.”

“No, actually, I didn’t. Nico didn’t ask, and I haven’t spoken to Matt at all since the meeting this afternoon. How did you know, Everett?”

He gave her a rueful grin. “Magic.”

“Don’t give me that shit, they already told me how your powers work, and you’re the absolute opposite of a social butterfly.
