‘what if I pretend to be your boyfriend?’ I stare at him, my mouth hanging open, a cookie halfway to my lips, what did he just say?
‘Sorry, what?’ I manage to force out through the shock.
Wade places his hands behind his head as he watches me, ‘what if I pretend to be your boyfriend’ he repeated slowly.
‘How . . what . . but . . uh?’ was my eloquent response as I scramble to regain control of my own brain, ‘how? Uh how does that help me with Archer?’
Wade grins, like he’s got it all figured out, ‘if there is one thing that will get Jones’ attention, its when I have something he hasn’t’ he replied, ‘so if he hears that you are my girlfriend, he’s going to want you purely because you are mine.’
I’m reeling here, rubbing my temples as if comprehension will pop out of my head like a genie
