She dropped her arms from his neck while he texted. For some reason, she didn't think he'd want her holding on while he talked to...his dad. His dad! He was coming home early. Laney's heart picked up a few beats at the thought. They could get caught. A grin flashed across her face, but she quickly gained control of herself and resumed a blank stare. If Alfie decided to keep it a secret just what they were doing, then she could work with it. If he told his dad the truth, she was probably going to leave.
"It's okay. At least you know he's coming home early now. What did you say to him?" Her hand dropped down to his and started playing with his fingers absently. She wasn't sure what compelled her to do it. It was kind of awkward, but in a good way. "We could just go to your room?" Now, any other girl making that suggestion might have sounded like some kind of innuendo. Or even an invitation for sex. Laney obviously wasn't as clued in as the rest of the population, but his bedroom seemed like the best place for a quick grope and a nice make out session. It was likely more comfortable than the carpeted floor, anyways.
Plus, if his dad came home and saw them in his room...well. That was part of the fun, right?
