“Yeah, that’s why I’m here in bed with you.”
“Oh, so you admit it. You do like me more than you like him.”
“Well, yeah, I like you more than I like him,” I say, playing with his chest hair. “You are ridiculous. You know that, Colton?”
“I don’t know about that,” he says. “So, what are we going to tell Sam?”
“What do you mean what are we going to tell Sam?”
“About us,” he says.
“We’re not going to tell Sam anything. There is nothing he needs to know.”
“Okay, so you don’t want him to know that I’m seeing you?”
“Well, we’re not exactly seeing each other because you haven’t taken me on a date.” I moan. My phone starts ringing again. “Oh my gosh. Who is that?” I say as I reach over and grab the phone. “Oh, it’s Danny.”
“It’s midnight. Don’t answer,” Colton says, rolling his eyes.
“I have to. Oh my gosh, what if something happened to Frannie?” I answer the phone frantically. “Hey, Danny, is everything okay with Frannie? What’s going on?”
“Hey, Ella, I was wondering if you were there.”
“Yeah, I’m here. What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry, I just realized the time,” he says. “I really need to speak to you. Can you come over?”
“What? Now?” I frown. “It’s midnight.”
“I know, I know. I know it’s late, but it’s really important.”
“Can it not wait until tomorrow?”
“I just wanted to ask you something. It’s really important.”
“Oh, well, I’m kind of in bed.”
“You don’t have to get dressed up all fancy or anything.”
“I mean, I wasn’t going to get dressed up all fancy,” I say, laughing slightly. “It’s just really late.”
“I mean, if you can’t come now, it’s fine,” he says. “I just haven’t seen you in a while.”
“Oh, did you need me to babysit for Frannie? You know, I’m really busy now with my new job.” I can see Colton staring at me and I’m trying to ignore him.
“It’s fine. It’s just, it was really important.”
“Okay, I’ll come over,” I say reluctantly. I do not want to go anywhere, but if it’s important, I want to be there for him. “Just give me twenty minutes.”
“Thank you.”
“I knew you would do it, Ella,” he says. “I’ll be waiting.”
“Okay.” I hang up the phone and I look over at Colton. He’s glaring at me.
“Are you an idiot?”
“What are you talking about?”
