We take a few steps and sit back down on the bench seat at the table.
Lanie squats down and looks through the cabinets. The fabric from Noel s shirt is big enough
that it hangs down over her thighs, but it still shows a ton of skin. She fidgets with the material while
searching the shelves.
Zach smirks as he stands and reaches into the overhead cabinet next to the sink. He lets the door
bang shut and chuckles when Lanie jumps at the sound. He sits next to me again with a package full of
Oreos. Lanie eyeballs the blue package of cookies when he sets them on the table. I can practically
see her mouth water from here.
Make yourself useful and grab us some milk from the fridge, Zach says to Lanie. I always
keep it in there. The guys know better than to take my stuff.
She grabs the a gallon of two percent white milk and sets it on the counter before she searches
for a couple of glasses.
There should be some plastic cups on the top shelf, above the sink, Zach informs her while she
pokes around in the cabinets.
There s only one cup left in the bag when she holds it up. Her smile deflates as she pours the
milk into it and walks over to the table. She sets the cup down, and slides into the seat across from
us.
He pushes the package across the table to her after handing me a cookie. You don t want some
milk, too?
She shrugs and pulls out a cookie. Only one cup.
Zach smiles and puts his cup in the middle of the table so we can all use it. We can share it no
double dipping. I heard where your mouth s been.
I smack his arm and give her an apologetic smile. Sorry, Lanie, but you were kind of loud.
Her face flushes, like it never occurred to her that she s loud enough for anyone to hear her and
Noel having sex.
Zach chuckles and dunks a cookie in the milk. Nothing to be embarrassed about, it was fucking
hot. Noel s one lucky son of a bitch.
I giggle and then he winks at Lanie, which only makes me laugh harder and nearly choke on my
food.
She covers her face with her hand. Oh, god.
Zach bites into his cookie. You say that a lot, don t you?
Lanie s head snaps up. Can we please stop talking about this? It s not exactly the kind of
conversation I should be having with you guys.
He shrugs. You know, about the ticket thing, I m sorry. You did try to blow me off. I didn t
think you meant it. I thought it was your angle.
My angle?
Zach nods. Most chicks play games with me. You weren t the first girl who tried to play the
hard-to-get card with me. I figured you read one of my interviews where I said that turned me on.
She dips a cookie in the milk, too. An interviewer actually asked what your turn-ons were?
You wouldn t believe some of the shit we get asked. Noel gets the worst of it, though, being the
front man and all. People are constantly trying to dig things up on him, but he s good at keeping his
life secret.
It s not like Noel has a lot of dirt to find, Lanie answers a little defensively.
He raises his eyebrows. How long has it been since you dated him?
A little over four years. Why?
Zach looks away from her and takes out another cookie. A lot can happen in four years, Lanie.
There he goes with that damn secret. I wish he would tell her what he s doing so she can deal
with it before she gets in deep with him. Hopefully whatever he s hiding isn t a deal breaker.
She shrugs. I m sure Noel isn t intentionally hiding things from me. We all have our pasts and
secrets we don t want people to know.
My stomach tenses as the secret I m keeping from her crosses my mind. I m still having serious
doubts if I m doing the right thing by hiding it from her.
Zach s eyes scan her face like things are clicking for him. We most certainly do.
He pops the last Oreo in his mouth. His gaze never leaves Lanie. He s waiting for more
questions, but she never asks and neither do I even though it s killing me to find out.
Zach looks at me before standing beside the table and sticking his hand out to Lanie. Truce?
She smiles as his large fingers wrap around her hand. Truce. I would like that. We should be
friends since you and Aubrey& you know.
He glances over at me and wiggles his eyebrows. Oh yeah, I know. Friends it is.
When Zach leaves the room, I turn in Lanie s direction. I smirk at her and she shakes her head.
Don t you shake your head at me, missy. I told you all about mine, now it s your turn to dish. It
sounded like it was incredible!
She pinches the bridge of her nose. Aubrey&
I hate when she does this to herself. I yank her hands away from her face. Stop it. Don t be
embarrassed. You had a good time nothing wrong with that, Lanie. So, tell me, does he get his Sex-
god title back now?
She rolls her eyes and smiles.
