Playing Dirty
It’s not a quick or casual kiss, it’s slow, certain, the kind that says too much, the kind that lasts longer than it should, like he’s proving something, like he knows someone is watching.
And that someone is me.
Something uncomfortable tightens in my chest, a strange mix of things I’d rather not look at too closely, so I look away, because it’s easier that way, it’s always been easier that way.
“Lucas!”
I look up when Sofi calls my name, and this time she’s coming toward me, smiling like everything is fine, like nothing just happened.
“You played amazing,” she says, grabbing my arm, “seriously, you were great.”
