Megan nodded and smiled, sensing Jessica’s playfulness. “As long as you understand now, I guess it’s all right,” she teased.
Megan scoffed. “Boring,” she cooed, drawing the word out. “Isn’t going after her because she is off limits way more fun? I mean, if she seems interested, that is. It’d be pretty dumb if not,” she added with a laugh.
“Wow. Really?” She couldn’t picture Jessica, Miss-Perfect-Student, charming away hickeys and scratch marks. “Doesn’t scratching…hurt?” She didn’t really seem all that much fun to Megan.
Megan blinked. Was Jessica talking about her? Nah, couldn’t be. If she was, she was just messing around. Would she really flirt with her younger sister’s best friend?
“Flirted?” Megan inquired. She waved her hand a little as she spoke. “Like this?” Her hand fell to rest on Jessica’s knee when she was done speaking. If Jessica was going to joke around, why couldn’t she?
Megan leaned in a little closer to see if Jessica would play along and close a bit more of the distance. “Too bad you couldn’t sleep for the same reason I couldn’t,” Megan mused softly, her fingertips lightly brushing Jessica’s knee. “It was kind of fun…even if…” She trailed off, suddenly embarrassed. She couldn’t say something like that to Jessica!
