Page 39 of Going for Two

It’s the perfect opportunity to get the ball rolling on the fake-dating scheme, right?

I mean, unless you’re busy.

It’s cool if you already have a date planned.

The last thing I want to do is interfere with your life.

Just lmk either way, nbd.

But also, don’t feel obligated to tell me if you are seeing someone else.

Shit.

*emotionless face emoji*

I’m sorry. I’m going to turn off my phone now.

“You could probably stand to tone down the gas, man. It is a bit much,” Ethan volunteers in the background.

That’s actually a good idea. I force myself to think about my brother’s excessive flatulence to keep myself from grinning down at my phone while I type out a reply.

Let me check my calendar and get back to you.

Oh, look at that. Turns out I’m free. I’ll pencil you in.

“Hey, I held it in for months,” JD answers, his tone more defensive now. “And I can’t help what happens in my sleep.”

I snort, half-amused by his reply and half-annoyed by my response to Loren. I’m starting to worry there’s some truth to Ethan’s claim just now. I didn’t expect to get this lame this fast, but Loren’s so freakingcute.

Loren R

Cool. And thanks for ignoring my awkward. *kissing face with smiling eyes emoji*

Meet me at my house Friday night, around 7?

Blake

Come on, Reed. You know how much I like it when you make it weird. *smirking face emoji*

And I’ll see you tonight. I’m bringing home takeout and you’re coming over for a LOTR binge and chill, remember?

“The theatrical versions are just the tip. Only the full extended editions count.”

Unless you’re too busy now?

You’re not ditching me for someone else already, are you?

If so, he’d better be hot.

Oh, no … it’s not Dr. Red Flag, is it?

Loren R

*melting face emoji*

See you tonight, Gus-Gus.
