Jaylene was stunned after hearing from Vermont that Keegan was not single.
Seeing that she pursed her lips, Vermont chose not to push the matter further. He did not know Jaylene well and was not particularly close to Trevor either. Therefore, he could not accurately judge Jaylene’s character. However, he was aware that her feelings could cause complications for Keegan. Since Keegan found it hard to bring up the subject, Vermont decided to offer Jaylene a subtle hint.
After the dance, Vermont left the floor to find Felicity.
Felicity was sitting in a corner, eating some lobster. When Vermont walked over, she glanced at him and decided not to acknowledge him.
Vermont leaned closer and said, “Hey, baby, why the long face?”
Felicity shot him a glare. “Don’t call me baby! It’s gross!”
Vermont chuckled and sat beside her. He put his arms over her shoulders and asked in a warm voice, “What’s wrong? Why are you in such a grumpy mood?”
“How does it feel to have your hands all over the wolfs waist?” Felicity asked.
‘Is she referring to Jaylene?’thought Vermont. He pondered for a moment and said, “Not gonna lie, it feels kinda good.”
Felicity’s eyes flared up. “You perv! And you said your lower half doesn’t work!”
“It doesn’t. That’s why I have to touch someone to know if I’m attracted to them. I wouldn’t have to do this with you if otherwise,” Vermont sighed.
Felicity was caught off guard. ‘Is he saying that he’s only pretending to be in a relationship with me because he can’t perform sexually? Am I not his first choice?” She thought.
