“Sorry about that, Wes. You’re kinda collateral damage, but some things have to be done.”
“Our room’s clear,” Win said, coming out of his and Lars’s bedroom.
At the same time, Max swung to face me. “You did this!”
I shrugged. “You think you can just carry my girl around, make her coffee, and show her screenshots without retaliation?”
“Oh my God, Ben!” Jess exclaimed. “Is that why you took so long in the shower this morning?”
“I was trying to help you,” Max said.
“By helping yourself to my girl.”
“I’m gay!” he yelled.
“Technically, you’re bi.” Win corrected.
“No. He’s mine,” Wes announced.
Max scrubbed a hand down his face. “You just had to make friends, didn’t you, Nemo?” he muttered but then held the hoodie out to him. “Put this on before you get any colder.”
Wes took it and smiled. “Thanks, Maxi.”
“I texted you to get over here before she could run off, and this is what I get?”
Well, yeah, he did do that.
“I told her to give you a chance.”
“You did?”
“He did,” Jess replied.
I nodded. “That was really decent of you, bro. Let’s just call it even.”
Max turned incredulous. “Our bedroom looks like a mummy costume gone bad.”
I blanched. “You might need to scrape off the wet globs behind your bathroom door.”
Someone laughed.
Max lunged at me.
Rush caught him around the waist. “This is why everyone calls you a moron,” he told me as Max struggled against him.
“I was mad.”
“Now I’m mad!” Max said, breaking free of Rush, only to be caught by Win.
“Start cleaning, Kruger,” Win ordered.
“Me?”
“Well, Wes and I sure as hell aren’t doing it,” Max declared.
Everyone turned to look at me. I sighed. “Fine.”
Prism leaned toward me. “Make sure you take some pics first.”
