“Do you think that it was a one time thing?” Sloane asks.
“I don’t know, I don’t care. I won’t be with someone who cheats on me.”
“Smart woman. So now what, I want to say that you guys just moved in together?”
“Six months ago. Shaw has an extra room, so I’ll just stay there until I can find something else.” I shrug.
“Is Shaw dating anyone?” she asks.
“Not that I know of, why?” I ask, running my thumb along the condensation of my glass.
“Shaw’s cute,” she’s with a lift of her shoulder in a nonchalant tone.
“I guess so, why do you say that?”
“Have you ever, you know?” she wiggles her eyebrows.
“Have I what?” I look at her in confusion.
“Gone there… you know, with Shaw?”
I laugh. She can’t be serious.
“Um, no. Shaw and I are just friends. He’s my best friend, we’ve never, you know.” I say between laughing.
“Really? Shaw’s hot. If I didn’t have Roger, I would be all over that. He’s got that hot dad look to him, he may not have a six-pack or anything, but damn–have you seen his face?” She fans herself.
“Really? Shaw?”
“You may have the friend’s lens on and all, but he’s a hot commodity. I’ve heard some of the mom’s talk about him from time to time after leaving his classroom.”
“He’s Shaw, I’ve never thought of him like that.” I shake my head.
“Maybe you should start? It couldn’t hurt. He’d be good for you.”
“I don’t need to jump into another relationship, so quickly. Let alone with my best friend.”
“Try looking at him differently, just try.”
I spin in my seat to face forward to order another round of drinks.
Shaw. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed Shaw in any other light before, could I?
