Chapter 187: Nice Assets
** Harper **
By the time Eli was done with his lemonade, Harper’s lungs were out of air, and her lips were getting a bit too puffy.
It was an acceptable price to pay for some superbly delicious "lemonade" though, so she didn’t really mind ... And she would have indulged in the moment some more if she wasn’t keeping a constant eye on the colorful crowd of bikinis hovering over the other side of the field, still a little too close to her liking.
"What are you looking at?" Eli finally noticed her searching eyes when he paused his onslaught long enough to replace the empty lemonade bottle. Following her gaze, he looked toward the other team across the net, then looked back at her in puzzlement.
Harper chewed her bottom lip. Well, she didn’t want to put on another jealous show already, but ...
"Who’s that girl in the red bikini?" she decided on asking, trying to sound nonchalant with the most casual tone she could manage.
"... Who?"
"The one who gave you the towel." She nodded at the thing flung over his shoulder. "You didn’t just take a towel from a completely random stranger, did you? Or is that another cousin?"
Ugh, geez that sounded sour. Why did she always have trouble behaving reasonably in situations like this?
