"Hey Handsome," Sky says with a quirked smile that automatically makes me smile too.

"Hi," I say breathless, not understanding a thing that is going on in my body. It's like something is pulling me towards him, I just want to be closer. I unconsciously take a step closer but Darcy's hand around mine pulls me back and I snap back like a rubber ring, remembering that Sky and I aren't the only ones here.

Sky's eyes follow the hand on mine and trails up to Darcy's face. He smiles at her but I can tell it isn't a real smile, it didn't show at all in his eyes. "Um... Darcy right?" She nods, unlike Sky she doesn't try to disguise her dislike for him with a smile. "It's nice seeing you again."

"Same," she shrugs. "I guess."

Jamal and Sky exchange greetings before his eyes return to me and he grabs the plate of cake I am holding, taking a fork for himself. "I have actually been waiting for you, that's the only reason I came to this."

I want to tell him he is the main reason I came too but the words are stuck in my throat because Darcy and Jamal are still here. My eyes meet Jamal's and he has a teasing smile on, I almost roll my eyes. Just then someone calls Jamal to come over and he exchanges a look with me before grabbing hold of Darcy's hand around me.

"Come on Magdalene, let's go."

"Go where?" She shakes her head. "I am not going anywhere with you."

Jamal and I exchange another look, this time I roll my eyes before Jamal starts talking. "Well, Sky is about to steal Issy away so unless you want to stand here alone, you'd come with me."

Really Jamal?! Did you have to come clean!

Darcy looks at me with pinched brows, "Israel?"

"Um," I look at Sky for help but he's busy eating up my cake and drawing something on the ground with his foot. "I have to go clarify something with Sky. Regarding an assignment."

"Now?" She asks eye wide, looking between Sky and I.

I nod quickly, "very important but I promise I will be back."

"Israel, I don't want to be alone with this miscreant!"

"I'm right here you..." Jamal trails off, sighing and rolling his eyes. "Let's just go Magdalene. I won't do anything to you and you fucking know it."

Darcy glares at me once before leaving, Jamal trailing behind her. I sigh, "I think I've just dug my grave."

Sky slings his hand around my shoulder, "She'd be fine. And I actually do need you."

"What?" We start walking, "why?"

"As cliche as it sounds, you complete me," he smirks, flicking my nose.

I bite my lip to keep the feelings at bay, "Sky..."

He looks over my face and slowly let's me go. "Sorry, I just-" he ran his hand through his hair with a groan. "We're okay, right?"
