Looking at Lexi, Ivan smiled, "Absolutely," because that meant more time with her and more time meant, he could persuade her to change her mind about their...situation.

Then she was dropping his hand and hugging a boy and his irritation level grew up a notch. Looking at the boy he held out his hand politely, "Nice to meet you." Yup he was her friend.... And he was just going to pretend he hadn't heard Jake even though they were right next to them. Yup.

His attention was caught by Lexi and he raised an eyebrow. Who was she talking about? He obviously had missed something. Oh well. Shoving his hands in his pockets he simply watched her.
