"Who said anything about dating?"

"You literally just did."

"I said I want you to be my girlfriend. I want to be together. We don't have to date."

"How exactly does that work?" The amusement was thick in her tone.

"You'll like it, I think."

"Oh yeah?"

"Mmhm. Here's my cunning plan."

"Tell me."

"We'll be together, yeah? But we won't tell anyone. We'll be super sneaky about it."

"That's... already what we do."

"Exactly. So it'll be easy."

"Then what's the difference?"

"'Cause then we have a bonus secret. And it's official. Secret, but official."

"Official, huh?"

"Yes."

"You know you'd be stuck with me then."

"When have I ever not been?"

"And you wouldn't be allowed to see other girls."

"Why would I want to?"

Lexi shrugged. "Well, you went after your own sister. You're obviously horny and out of control."

I tickled her side where she was vulnerable, making her squeal and try to roll away. "You know that's not what happened."

"Do I?"

"You do." I had to wrestle her a bit to get on top of her, pin her down, and kiss her properly. "I honestly love you, Lexi. Just you. I don't care if no one else knows. Only we have to know."

She chewed on her lip, eyes searching for clues in mine. "I do like it being our secret," she said.

"I thought you might."

"And it doesn't really change anything."

"That's my point."
