Our uncles over protect him." That earned an eye roll from Serena. Uncle Danny and Uncle Aiden should have more faith in their son, but she wasn't going to tell them that. Extra money in her bag was nice.

Studying made him nauseous?! That earned a laugh from the redhead. "There's no such thing, Johnathan. Nice try." He was good at coming up with things like that, but she knew him better than that. He also said things about gators and flies that Serena's logical brain didn't connect. "Well...I did. Sort of." She frowned, then went on to explain, "I told him I was trying to woo him and that I've been flirting with him. I did all that, but...how do I know if he likes-likes me?" She ran a hand through her hair, allowing her shoulders to slump. "Why doesn't this all come with a manual. I need specifics."
Johnny chuckled, Percy was another child he was sworn to look after and for FREE! What the heck, she’s getting PAID?! ”Wait, you’re getting paid to watch my nephew?!” John scoffed, ”I’m going charge Danny and Aiden interest and taxes when I get home.” It felt a bit strange to have a nephew so close in age to him. Why mom and dad, WHY?!

Johnny grinned, ”I beg to differ, dear cousin.” He teased. Johnny raised a brow, who uses the word ’woo’ nowadays? Perhaps Serena’s been hanging out too much with grandpa Jack. ”Okay but did you specifically tell him you had feelings beyond friendship? Because if a girl tells me she’s flirting to ’woo’ me I’d be like: ’cool, thanks.’ ‘course this is coming from Johnny’s perspective as he was a blunt and direct person. But he reminded himself that this was probably his cousin’s first crush or something like that and tried to be sympathetic. ”He’d be daft to not be into you.” He nodded. ”That aside, just ask him if he likes you the way you like him. Or I can ask him for you?” John was willing to play Owl for his cousin if need be.
