The girls are still pinging the hell out of me.
“He’s in the bathroom.”
“So he left you out here on your own,” Hollis says.
I give him a look. How else was he supposed to go to the bathroom, Hollis? He has the gall to still be gorgeous while also smug.
“Maybe you two should go somewhere else,” I suggest, but I’m too late.
“Oh, man. Roman Hammerstein.” Jameson wipes his hand on his pants and extends it. “Jameson Grover. I’m friends with Aurora.” His smile is fairly manic. “Sir, it’s an honor.”
Oh my God. This isn’t happening.
Hollis’s eyes slide to Jameson, and if looks could kill, my coffee date would be nothing but a pile of ash.
“Jameson, it’s a pleasure. Peggy has such nice things to say about you.”
“Dad,” I warn.
“What? You’ve talked about Jameson plenty of times at the dinner table. Always nice things to say. Isn’t that right, Hollis?” Dad elbows him in the arm.
“Uh-huh.” Hollis pokes his cheek with his tongue.
“Do you want to join us?” Jameson asks. “There’s more than enough room.”
“Yeah, sure, why not?” Hollis slides into the booth across from me.
“Great. Awesome. This is just—wow.” Jameson is about to jizz in his pants.
Hollis looks like he’s plotting murder and evil things, and I’m so pissed—but also he’s so fucking hot, and I hate it. My dad seems genuinely pleased to meet my date and completely oblivious to how awkward it’s all become.
I fire off another text to the group:
Aurora
My dad and Hollis crashed my date.
And my date invited them to join us.
And they said yes.
I kick Hollis’s shin under the table. We are so having words after this. Angry words. What the hell is he playing at?
He shrugs out of his jacket, drapes it over his lap, and smirks.
Rainbow comes over with our meals. “Oh! Your dads are here! How cute is this?”
“We’re just friends,” says Hollis and my dad at the same time.
“Of course.” Rainbow winks and turns to me, dropping her voice to a whisper. “They’re so cute together.”
I make a heart with my fingers. “Aren’t they, though?”
Rainbow makes the heart back. “I ship your dads so hard.”
I’d like to ship my dad’s best friend hard.
Jameson looks super confused.
