Chapter 18

Saturday

“Sanders!”

I looked up from the stains seeping into my dress to see Rob holding a now-completely empty cup in his hand. He was smiling brightly like always.

“I thought that was you! What the hell are you doing here?” He clapped me on the shoulder like his brother had just a minute ago.

Getting scared shitless, getting my favorite dress ruined, and getting threatened by your brother. I shouldn’t have been here. That much was clear. “I was actually just leaving.”

His fingers tightened on my shoulder. “Shit, I spilled my drink all over your dress. Let’s get you to the bathroom to clean that up.”

I stepped back from him. “I’m fine.”

“Come on. I’ll show you where it is.” He slipped his hand around my upper arm and started pulling me off the dance floor.

Felix stepped in front of him, putting his hand on his chest. “I’ll take her.”

Rob glanced back down at me. “You here with him?”

I nodded, feeling incredibly awkward that Rob was holding my arm.

“Huh.” Rob smiled. “This night keeps getting more and more interesting.” He looked back at Felix. “I promise I’m not stealing your girl. But the bathrooms downstairs are getting redone. I know where the ones upstairs are. I’m just escorting her. I swear.”

Felix didn’t move.

I looked down at my dress. As much as I’d rather Felix help me find a bathroom, if I didn’t get cold water on the stain right now, it would set. “It’s fine, Felix. I’ll be right back.”

“I’ll keep him entertained,” Kennedy said and started dancing even though Felix was just staring at me.

Rob pulled me toward the doors of the ballroom. “I thought you stopped seeing Felix when you canceled on him Thursday night.”

“I didn’t cancel on him.” I found myself getting closer and closer to Rob as he led me down the dark hallway.

“Very very interesting.”

Why on earth did he think I canceled my dinner plans with Felix? I was pretty clear in class that I had no intention to.

“Well, I feel obligated to tell you that your friend likes him then.”

“Who…you?”

Rob laughed. “As happy as I am to hear that you think of me as a friend…no. I’m not into dudes. I was talking about Kennedy.”

“You’re into Kennedy?”

He looked down at me. “Are you drunk?”

“No.” I shook my head. “I don’t know. Maybe?”

He laughed. “Kennedy likes Felix.” We walked into the foyer and I was distracted by the chandelier. The death chandelier.

“She doesn’t like Felix,” I said. “She used to freshman year. Now I’m pretty sure she hates him.”

“No way. She definitely wants him.” He led me up the stairs.

“Wanna bet? Rob, are you sure there aren’t any bathrooms I can use downstairs?” In such an enormous house it seemed ridiculous that there wasn’t one, just one, I could use that wasn’t up here. The higher we climbed, the colder it felt. And as we started walking down the hallway I knew something wasn’t right. Why had I agreed to come up here with him? Why wasn’t I
