None of the men before him said anything. They simply looked at him with goofy smiles on their faces.
“What?” He was losing patience quick.
Benny, as always, was the first to speak. “You really like her, huh?”
“Happy for you, man.” Hunter smacked him on the back before heading over to the couch. He was clearly done.
“So, if she’s not coming to the fundraiser as your date, what is she coming as?” Luke asked.
“A friend, Luke. She’s coming as my friend.”
“Okay ... so as a friend, she’s fair game, right? What happens if she hits on one of us?”
I’m gonna do it. Friend or not. I’m gonna beat his ass.
Benny must have caught on because as soon as Zach launched himself at Luke, Benny was there, holding him back.
“What. The. Fuck?” his friend bellowed.
Luke was laughing his ass off. Bastard. “Jesus, man, you’re too easy. You really are gone for the girl, aren’t you?”
Yes.
Zach was glad someone was finding this funny. He certainly wasn’t.

“Don’t worry, dude, none of us would do that.” Benny finally loosened his grip on him. “He’s just messing with you. She’s yours, we get it. We’ll be on our best behavior. Promise.”
As Luke’s chuckles finally began to dissipate, he slapped Zach on the back and gave him a shake. “I was just kidding man, honest. We’ll stay away from your girl, don’t worry.”
His girl. He liked that.
