The truth was, Ryan was all over Carrie when she was around.

"Keep telling yourself that." The taunting did not bother Justin.

"Why don't you make it spicy for Bella tonight?"

Ryan nudged Justin on the shoulder and flashed a wicked smile. "Just wear the apron with nothing else on. See how Bella reacts. Look at your abs and muscles. I bet she wouldn't be able to keep her hands off you."

Justin felt a flush in his cheeks. With a raspy voice, he murmured, "Get lost!"

Everybody was having fun in the living room.

"This is for you, Amelia."

Carrie blushingly handed a bouquet of lilies to Amelia as if she were Amelia's No. 1 fan. "You and Bella are my idols. I want to be brave like you too."

"Please don't," Bella and Amelia said in unison.

Worried that Carrie might take things the wrong way, Amelia explained, "I'm happy you like me, Carrie, but I hope you never go through what I experienced. If possible, I hope Bella, Justin, and Ryan will always shield you from harm. We don't want to be in any situations where you have to be brave or take risks."

"Um... But... Okay."

Carrie scratched her head, and Amelia just wanted to shrink Carrie and put the cutie in her pocket.

Though they were around the same age, Amelia found Carrie adorable.

"Smooch!"

Amelia cupped Carrie's face and gave her a peck on the lips.

"Uh..." Carrie blushed.

Only Ryan had ever touched her lips.

A beautiful woman kissed Carrie, and it was a wonderful feeling.

While the girls were happy, Ryan and Steven were not having it.

They were jealous to see their women's lips claimed by someone else, even if it was between the same gender.

Well, they would reclaim their position in the relationship when they got back later.

"Since everybody is here, we should start dinner and try our great Mr. Salvador's cooking." Bella took Justin's arm and laid her head on his shoulder.

Amelia clapped. "Wow! Justin cooks? That's amazing. You're so lucky, Bella."

Carrie gave a round of applause too. "You're amazing, Justin. You're the best!"

Steven and Ryan were speechless.

Damn it! Justin outdid them again. Steven and Ryan needed to learn how to cook soon.

"I can't believe you didn't invite us to dinner, Bella. You don't love us any more!"

Axel whined while walking into the living room.

Ralph, who was instrumental in the case, was in attendance with Axel.

He smiled when he saw Carrie sitting on the sofa like a beautiful doll.

Ryan's heart dropped, and he held his girlfriend tight in his arms.

"Now that you have another man in your life, do we mean anything to you anymore?" Axel pouted.

"If you can forget me and Ax, I guess it won't be long until you brush Ash, Dec, and Drew off too." Ralph sighed.

Bella blinked and turned to ask Justin. "Axel is a big eater. Do we have enough?"

Justin was taken aback at first, but he soon wrapped his arm around her waist with a chuckle.

"Yes, we do."
