I wanted to tell the Four. What I didn’t want to do was to cause any more drama, knowing how much Caiden disliked James. Would that stop me telling them, though? Fuck, no. Seriously, what had James been thinking? Asshole.
I decided to wait until the boys got back from AMC to tell them what had happened—there was no way I was going to be responsible for distracting them from their task.
Sipping my mug of coffee, I returned to my books. Seven o’clock. The boys would be getting ready to go to AMC. I could only hope that they got lucky and found out who it was Arlo was meeting, or what it was he was doing on a Tuesday night.
As if I’d conjured them up, two minutes later my phone buzzed with a message from Weston.
West: We scrub up well, don’t we *wink emoji*
An image of the Four appeared on my screen. All in dark suits, hair styled, tattoos peeking out. Cade had a sexy, arrogant smirk on his face, Cass had a huge grin, West was winking, and Zayde, shock of all shocks, was actually sticking his tongue out at the camera, showing his barbell piercing.
Me: *woman fa
Me: Bloody hell. I can’t handle the hotness. This is now my phone wallpaper.
West: Thought you’d like it. We’re leaving in a few. Message you later if it’s not too late.
Me: Good luck. I don’t care how late it is, I need to hear from you guys tonight.
West: OK. Speak later.
Me: Be careful.
West: Always.
I placed my phone down and started working on my assignment, trying to block everything else out of my mind. As I sipped my coffee, my thoughts went back to James in the library. What was his weird, shifty behaviour all about, and why on earth would he try to kiss me?
I didn’t have to wonder for long.
A few minutes later, my phone buzzed with a message from Caiden, then another, then another.
Caiden: Couldn’t stay away from Granville?
Caiden: You fucking betrayed me.
Caiden: We’re done.
A forwarded video appeared in the list of messages, and I clicked on it with a trembling hand.
No.
