Caleb, flustered and angry after being tricked and kissed, turned to leave.
I tragically discovered that this time, I really had twisted my ankle.
"Caleb!"
"My foot really hurts!"
"It's true this time, look, it's swollen."
Summer looked and confirmed, "Brother, her ankle is swollen."
Caleb stopped walking away.
He came back, looked at my ankle, and without a word, piggybacked me.
He warned, "Touch me again, and I'll throw you into the lake."
I nodded obediently.
...
After that, my attitude towards Summer did a 180.
"Sister" this, "sister" that.
"Blair Sterling, I don't know you well, stop calling me that!"
I forcibly dragged Summer shopping. Clothes, bags, makeup, skincare, jewelry—I bought a pile.
When parting, I stuffed all the bags into her hands.
Smiling, I said, "Just a little meeting gift from your sister-in-law."
"Help me chase your brother, and I'll take care of you for life."
Summer was conflicted. She tried to return the items.
Painfully, she said, "I won't betray my brother!"
I pulled out VIP tickets to her idol's concert.
Her eyes lit up, and her last bit of hesitation vanished.
"You are my real sister-in-law!"
Having bribed Summer, I got all of Caleb's part-time job addresses.
Whenever I was free, I went to find him.
Impatiently, he asked, "What do you want?"
"I'm chasing you, isn't it obvious?"
Caleb looked at me coldly. "You see this? I'm poor and busy. I don't have time for your love games."
Caleb worked at a bar on weekend nights.
When he saw me, his face instantly darkened. He grabbed my hand and dragged me out.
Sternly, he said, "Go back!"
Of course, I didn't go back.
"Agree to be my boyfriend, and I'll listen to you."
He silently suppressed his anger. Leaving a "Suit yourself," he ignored me.
But I knew he was secretly watching me, even asking colleagues to keep an eye on me.
I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, Caleb was gone.
Just as I was looking for him, the bar lights dimmed. The music stopped.
Then the crowd screamed.
Pink and purple lights lit up the center stage.
Five boys in black pants and white shirts, eyes covered with black silk scarves, sat facing chair backs.
Straddling the chairs, they moved their bodies slowly to the sexy music.
I recognized Caleb, second from the left, immediately.
I was shocked. The aloof and proud Caleb was dancing seductively for money.
My eyes were glued only to him.
Watching his hand glide up his long neck, gently rubbing.
Then slowly sliding down.
Finally, casually unbuttoning the top two buttons of his white shirt.
Revealing exquisite, pale collarbones.
This stimulating scene made me blush and my heart race.
As the music peaked, the lead dancer ripped open all his buttons.
His lean, muscular waist was fully exposed.
The audience screamed deafeningly.
I was just glad the four backup dancers didn't need to strip. Otherwise, I might have rushed onto the stage to dress Caleb.
I never knew he could dance. Or that he was this financially desperate at this time.
After the dance, there was a game. Those chosen by the spotlight could feed the lead dancer a lollipop mouth-to-mouth.
Five people were chosen. I was the last lucky one.
From being chosen to walking to the stage, I felt Caleb's gaze following me.
Just as the lead dancer bent down to feed me the lollipop, Caleb suddenly appeared next to him.
He pulled me over.
One hand cupped the back of my head, feeding the lollipop he was holding in his mouth to mine.
I instinctively opened my mouth.
The sweet and sour candy spread in my mouth.
Through the lace on his eyes, our gazes met amidst the screaming crowd.
My heartbeat was like thunder.
I was dizzy with sweetness.
