My eyes widen when I see Garrett get down on his knees and literally kiss her feet. “I am not worthy.”

I huff out a shocked laugh, loving every moment of this.

“Get up!” Callie hisses, looking embarrassed. “What is wrong with you?”

Garrett looks up at her with this big, dopey smile. “A lot,” he snickers.

“Oh my god.” She covers her face with her hands. “Could you be any more embarrassing?”

“Yes.” Garrett gets to his feet. “Wanna see?”

“No!” she shouts. “Just get in the damn car.” She shakes her head and rushes towards the front seat.

Garrett rushes to the door too and opens it before she can. “My lady,” he says with a bow.

“I can’t even with you,” she mutters, not looking him in the eye as she gets inside the car.

He looks over at me, a big smile on his face, and winks.

I grin, shake my head, and get into the back.

It’s only a matter of time before he wears her down. They’re perfect for one another. I can’t wait until she sees it.

The whole drive there, I’m a nervous wreck. This is the first time I’ve seen them since the night I told them everything.

I don’t know what's going on inside their minds, what they think about this new me they’ve discovered.

Am I what they’ve always wanted, what they wished they could have had, and finally can? Or was it something they didn’t actually want in real life, just loved the fucked up fantasy in their minds, and I just made it come crashing down?

They’re mine, I know it in my heart and soul. I love them. Ineedthem.

If they don’t choose me, I don’t know what I’m going to do.

“Callie.”

“Yeah?”

“Would you hate me if I kidnapped your brothers until they’re forced to love me?”

Garrett lets out a surprised snort.

“No,” Callie says, dead serious. “I can help you, if you want.”

“You would do that for me?” I ask, feeling kind of misty-eyed.

“Fuck yeah,” Callie says. “If they’re too dumb to see how perfect you are for one another, then of course we’re going to have to force them to see it with their own eyes.”

“Slow down there, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, no need to plan a mass kidnapping. Lola, you’re fine. You’re not going to have to do anything to make sure they love you. I can promise you, they already do.”

Garrett’s words have my heart kicking into a full sprint and my stomach twisting in knots.

“But…”

“But what?” I rush out.

“They’re not going to make it easy,” he warns, sounding serious.

“What do you mean?” Callie asks.
