Harper

Ryan, Sadie and I got to school before Easton, so we're waiting for him as we lean against the car, my gaze on the parking lot entrance, watching for his Jeep.

I'm trying to pretend I'm not paying attention to my brother and my best friend while they flirt with each other, but it’s difficult.

He is really laying it on, and she is definitely lapping it up.

I concentrate on what happened between Easton and I yesterday.

How sweet he was.

The things he said.

The way he looked at me, touched me.

A shiver moves through me and Sadie notices.

"Cold?"

“Nope.” I smile at her and she rolls her eyes.

Easton's Jeep appears and he pulls into a spot so swiftly, the tires squeal, making me shake my head.

He drives too fast.

He likes to do lots of fast things.

He can be slow when he needs to be too.

A secretive smile plays upon my lips as he jumps out of the car and slams the door, hitting the keyless remote to lock the Jeep.

He's headed our way and I swear to God, I can hear him whistling.

Like he's one of Snow White's dwarves, ready to go to work.

When Ryan spots Easton, he gets all scowly.

Like he's mad at him or something, which is ridiculous.

There is no reason Ryan should be holding any kind of grudge against Easton.

Things are good between all of us.

In fact, they've never been better.

The moment my gaze finds Easton's, I'm running toward him, wrapping him up in a big hug as my way of greeting him.

"Good morning."

He slides his hand over my ass, gripping it firmly.

"Good morning to you too.” "Jesus, stop groping my sister in the parking lot,” Ryan shouts.

Easton laughs and readjusts me so I'm slammed up against him, and we approach Ryan and Sadie.

"Sorry bro."

"Uh huh.” Ryan rubs his jaw and lowers his voice.

"Hey.
