Tangled Up In You (A Savioe Family Novel) Read Online Free PDF

were bright red, her breathing a bit uneven as she breathlessly agreed. “Yes, a bit greasy but good. If you don’t mind the fries getting thrown at you.”
    She leaned closer to me placing a small hand against my chest speeding up my heart rate as she whispered. “Can you move your arm? People are going to get the wrong idea.”
    I leaned my head closer to hers and whispered back, “Wha’ afraid ta be seen wit us?”
    “No,” she gulped. “I just don’t want people adding to the rumor. Your arm around me will make them think the imaginary fight was over you.”
    Charles laughed, “She’s got a point, Luke. So, Roxy what did happen yesterday between you and Marie?”
    I removed my arm as she explained. “She tried to shove Jess into her locker. Jess squealed.”
    “I did not!” Jess protested.
    “Uh… yeah you did. Now don’t interrupt. When she squealed, I tried to pull Marie away from her. Well, as you can guess that didn’t work. So I used the locker banks as leverage and shoved her as hard as I could. There was no fight. No harsh words unless you consider Shorty or Goliath a harsh word. I didn’t say anything to anyone over it. I didn’t even know she was suspended until Jess told me this morning when I picked her up for school.” She explained looking over at him. Beau had sat down at the table by that time bringing the food that was ordered with him and had heard her story.
    “You called her Goliath?” Beau chuckl ed taking a bite of his burger.
    She ducked her head in a blush. “Yes, I did. She’s like a foot taller than me. It was the only thing that popped in my head when she called me Shorty.”
    “I bet she loved that.” Charles said with a mouthful of food.
    “I really don’t know. I hightailed it out of there before I could find out.” She admitted.
    Jess glanced down at her watch and grimaced over the time. “We have fifteen minutes before the next class starts.”
    Roxy groaned in displeasure. “I really hate History class.”
    “Why?” I asked my arm bumping up against hers.
    She looked up at me with those gorgeous green eyes again leaving me momentarily dazed. “The teacher makes it so boring. Half the stuff he tells us didn’t really happen.”
    Jess laughed. “Trust her on that one. She’s a history buff. I swear that’s all she watches or reads about.”
    “What? I find it fascinating. Wouldn’t you just love to be able to travel back in time and just live one day the way they did? Medieval England, Italy during the Renaissance or even the Wild West. Man, I’d kill for that chance.” Roxy said dreamily. She sighed and started picking up her trash to throw it away. Charles who had scarfed down his food beat her to it. Beau still chewing on his last fry picked up Jess’s trash and tossed it with his.
    I glanced down and realized I hadn’t touched any of my stuff. With a sigh, I stood up with my food in hand. “I’ll see you two in class.”
    Jess was already heading to the car when Roxy stood up. She started to head that way before stopping to look over her shoulder at me with a small smile. “Bye, Luke.”
    I grinned back at her watching her get in the car and drive off. “Damn boy. You got it bad.” Beau laughed.

    “Holy shit! I so can’t believe that just happened.” Jess shouted when we drove away from Frank’s. She bounced up and down in the passenger’s seat. She stopped mouth wide opened and gasped at me. “You know what? I think you could possibly get a boy toy this year if you really wanted to.”
    My cheeks heated up. “I’m not looking for one.”
    “Bull shit. You are always whining about not ever having a guy in your life. Well, I think you could definitely get one now. We need to do your hair, makeup and m aybe get you some new clothes.”
    With a snort, I rolled my eyes at her. “Please. I do not need to change
