Elina: And dancing afterwards if you want extra points. Super romantic.
I frown. Teddy and I just did all that, minus the whole date part, of course. My phone pings again.
Nik: Called it.
I roll my eyes.
Me: What are you all doing up this early?
Cassandra: Calliope woke me.
Elina: Haven’t gone to sleep yet.
Nik: BJs.
Christ.
Cassandra: Ew.
Elina: EW!
Me: Yeah, ew, Nik. Gross.
Niko sends a middle finger response, and I snort.
Elina: I’m scarred for life. Ack.
Cassandra: You can do this, Kipp. Just be honest with him.
Fuck. Why does that sound so scary?
My phone pings again, another text from Niko coming through. This time, it’s in our private chat.
Nik: You okay?
Me: Not sure. I really like him.
Nik: Just tell him. What do you have to lose?
Uh…
Me: A husband. A home. My dignity.
The list could go on.
Nik: I think you two are where you are for a reason. He likes you, too, bro-friend.
I grasp my chest.
Me: You bro-friended me. BUDDY.
Nik: Yeah, yeah. I maybe kind of like you, too. I’ve gotta go, though. Dixon is grumping at me and about to take matters into his own hands.
It takes me a second to figure out what he means.
Me: You were MID blowjob, and you paused to text me? Dude. That’s true friendship.
Niko sends me an eggplant emoji, and I crack up, tucking my phone back in my pocket.
