“We’re going to be okay,” I said confidently. “I know it.”
“Me too. Where you at? Home?”
“No, I’m at Marticello’s with Teddy and Brian. They’re giving me moral support and advice.”
“Ah, like they did for me last night. Tell them I said hey.”
“Austin says hey.”
“Hey, Austin,” they said in unison.
“You want to come join us?”
“No. I’m not really in the mood to be in public right now.”
“You okay?” I asked.
“Yeah. Can you come over after you guys are down there?”
“Yeah. I’d like to see you. We should talk.”
“I’ll see you soon,” he said.
“Bye, Austin.”
I ended the call, wishing the pizza would hurry the hell up.
“He loves you,” Teddy said.
“Oh yeah? How do you know this?”
“Just the way he looks at you when you’re together. He hasn’t said anything, but I can tell. I mean he wrote the damn letter.”
I smiled.
“He said come over after we’re done. Are you two going back home?”
“We were going to go out, but we can walk with you. It’s getting late.”
“Perfect,” I said. “You two are the best.”
Derek the frat-fuck walked up as a finished my sentence.
“They’re the two biggest fuck ups on campus. That’s what I’ve heard.”
He cackled with laughter, obviously drunk.
“Get out of here,” I snapped. “You’re an asshole.”
“Watch it,” he said. “I still owe you one.”
Teddy stood up, puffing out his chest.
“She asked you to leave, asshole.”
Our waitress returned with our pizza.
“No fighting in here,” she said. “Take it outside.”
