Cole doesn’t look at my phone. Instead, he pleads silently with his eyes as he stands there. I lick my lips, my heart twisting for the young man in front of me.
“I’m sorry, Cole. You understand, right?”
He crosses his arms across his chest. “Can you give me a lift back to your house? I’m supposed to be meeting Jensen there.”
I blink, irritated by the way he ignored everything I just said. “I’m sorry?”
“I’ll tell Jensen I fixed your tire, and you won’t mention anything about him lying to you.”
My mouth drops open. “No. I will definitely be asking him why he lied about where he was.”
Cole shakes his head, pulling out his own phone. His gaze returns to me with a wicked gleam.“Hey man. I’m on my way over with your mom. I caught her with a flat tire on my run.”
My cheeks heat in anger at the audacity of him. Cole smirks, clearly seeing my annoyed state.
“Yeah, sorry dude. Should have told me. I would have covered you, but I didn’t know. Next time just let me know.”
Next timeI mouth and Cole lifts an eyebrow.
“Yup, we’re just down by the library. Be like fifteen minutes. Yeah, see you.”
He hangs up and walks around my Jeep, hopping into the passenger side. I climb in and throw my phone back in the console.
“I’m still going to ask him.”
He shrugs as I start the car and pull onto the road.
“Yeah, I know. That’s why I gave you an out. Now, that’s another favor you owe me.”
“Owe you?!” I screech, tightening my hold on the steering wheel. “I don’t owe you anything.”
He leans back into his seat, his foot coming to rest on his knee. It pulls his shorts tighter across his lap, and I can see the outline of his dick as it starts to harden again. I tear my gaze away and focus on the road. Cole’s deep laugh echoes in the car.
“You do, baby. You owe me a lot because I’m not giving up on us. And one day, you’ll thank me.”
Determination hardens within me at his taunting words, and I don’t say anything in reply as we make our way home.

“Dude.Ineedyouto skip practice with me,” Jensen demands, slamming my locker shut. He tugs on his letterman jacket, his chest heaving.
I glance down the hallway and look up at him. “Did you run across campus? Isn’t your English class near the field?”
He holds up his phone. “Look atthis.”
Snatching it from his hand, I re-read the text multiple times before shoving the phone back at him.
“What about it?” I say through clenched teeth, hoping the absolute fury coursing through my veins isn’t obvious. It’s been a few days since our little roadside adventure, and she has adamantly ignored me.
“We gotta stop it,” he says incredulously.
I blow out a breath, trying to calm my pounding heart. I’m so pissed I can’t even think straight.
“You knew your mom was going to date eventually. She didn’t even have to tell you.” I nod towards the text that Olivia had sent that she wasn’t going to be home when we got back from school. I wanted to storm over there myself, but I had to play the best friend card and not act like a jealous boyfriend.
Jensen pulls at his hair as he paces in front of my locker. “Yeah, I know. But I’m fucking positive it’s this creep from the grocery store. He hits on her every single time. He gives meroofie in your drinkvibes.”
“Who?” I demand, standing up straighter.
