“So, what happened?” Liam asked.
“With?” I took a sip of my scotch.
“Jillian?” His brow arched.
I took in a sharp breath. “She doesn’t feel the same way about me as I do her.”
“Are you sure about that?” Oliver asked.
“Bullshit!” Liam exclaimed as he sipped on his drink. “I’ve seen the two of you together and know the look.”
“The look?”
“The one that says, ‘I’m so into him.’” Liam grinned.
“What?” Oliver asked as he cocked his head at his brother. “Are you some kind of woman expert now?”
“I always have been, dear brother. It’s the same look Delilah always has with you and the look that Avery gets when she’s with me.” He winked.
Oliver rolled his eyes. “Drew, did she tell you that she didn’t feel the same way?”
“She told me I was her friend and nothing more.” I finished off my scotch.
As I said, the waitress walked over and set down our food.
“Hey, let me ask you something,” Liam said to our waitress.
“Sure.” She smiled brightly at him.
“There’s a look women get when they’re really into a guy, right?”
“I suppose so,” she answered. “I mean, I don’t know for me, but I’ve seen a look on my girlfriends’ faces when they’re really into someone.”
“Describe that look.” Liam smiled.
“Liam!” Oliver voiced.
“Quiet, Oliver.” Liam waved his hand. “Go on.” He smiled at the waitress.
“I don’t know. It’s like a twinkle in their eye or just an overall sweetness that sweeps over their face. It’s hard to describe. Kind of like a glow.”
“Exactly!” Liam pointed his finger at her. “Thank you for your help. I will make sure to compensate you with a generous tip.” He winked.
She gave us each a smile and casually walked away after we ordered another round of drinks.
“See. I saw that glow or twinkle with Jillian.”
Oliver rolled his eyes, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Go ahead and don’t believe, Oliver, but it’s true. And you, my bro friend,” he pointed at me, “need to claim what is yours.”
“And how do I do that? She doesn’t want a relationship. She’s very adamant about that.”
Liam waved his hand in front of his face. “So was Avery and look at us now.”
“Excuse me,” Oliver spoke. “If I remember correctly, she was the one who went after you in California.”
“Details. Details, Oliver. The point is that she realized how much she loved me. So, here’s the plan, Drew. Get in touch with her and tell her that you gave it some serious thought and friends are what is best for the both of you. Agree on her terms. Women love a good fight, and when they realize we men aren’t fighting for them anymore, that’s when it hits them.”
