Chapter 63

Jake

If murder were legal, Cindi’s brother, Raegan, would be a dead man. He is nice to Winnie, but I can see his scheme from a mile away. It will start with him asking her if she wants a S’more and then end with him asking if she likes to see his hotdog…

“I’m a professional when it comes to grilling S’more kebabs on a stick. I’ve been doing this for ages. Trust me. The cracker won’t fall apart if you put it on the stick like this…”

My hackles rise when Winnie smiles at Raegan. I’m like a rottweiler sensing another dog on its territory. One could argue Raegan is just being friendly, but I can see through him.

He is interested.

And I’m burning in the pit of jealousy. If I could marry Winnie, put a ringer on her finger, then everyone-… no, don’t be stupid, Jake. You have just begun dating her. What I need to do is relax.

“Oh my, you’re so talented, Raegan!” Winnie exclaims and spins around the S’more stick. “It’s not falling apart at all!

I glare at the S’more kebab and then look down at my stick. Why didn’t I think of making a S’more stick for Winnie? I’m an idiot for not giving it to her, but I can’t go back in time so… she can have mine.

I rise to my feet and wander over to

Winnie. She lifts her chin in response and confusion flashes over her attractive features. There is uncertainty in her gaze and confusion about what I’m doing when I take her hand. But it won’t be that way for long.

“Here,” I mutter in a voice grumpier than intended. “Take my S’more kebab. It’s already made.”

I trade our sticks, satisfied when Winnie’s face lights up. Raegan appears puzzled, which gives me more delight. He should never have flirted with my girl. Fucking bastard.
