I answered his question, "I did."
To my surprise, he smiled and then put his arm around my shoulder. The gesture surprised me, and when I looked at Blaise, he was just looking at us. I wanted to remove Russell's hand, but he might be offended, so I just let him be. One more thing: I do not think that he meant harm by that.
"Blaise, let me just borrow her, alright?"
Blaise narrowed his eyes at that, which earned a laugh from Russell.
"What's with that look? Is there anything wrong with knowing that fake girlfriend of my best friend?"
I just shook my head at that. It's no wonder that Russell and Rihanna were really siblings because they're both talkative.
"Sure, but hands off her," Blaise finally answered, removing Russell's hand from me.
Russell just laughed at that, but he did not put his hand on me again. Instead, he looked at me seriously.
