The kiss only complicated things. Isabella couldn’t stop thinking about it or the way Rafe made her feel. The Pogues noticed her distraction, and JJ, in particular, wasn’t happy.
“You’re spending way too much time thinking about that psycho,” he said one evening as they gathered at the Wreck.
“I’m not” Isabella started, but Kiara interrupted her.
“Yeah, you are. What’s going on, Isabella?”
“Nothing,” she lied, but the guilt gnawed at her.
Before she could explain further, Rafe walked in. The tension in the room skyrocketed as he strode toward their table, ignoring the glares from the Pogues.
“What are you doing here, Cameron?” JJ demanded, standing up.
Rafe’s eyes were locked on Isabella. “We need to talk,” he said, ignoring JJ completely.
“She’s not going anywhere with you,” JJ snapped, stepping in front of her.
Isabella stood, placing a hand on JJ’s arm. “It’s fine. I’ll handle it.”
“Isabella—” Kiara started, but she shook her head.
“I’ll be back,” she promised, following Rafe outside.
