“You know?” I frown.

“Mmhm.” He shrugs.

I make a sound that’s sort of a scoff, sort of a weird babble of disagreement. “How do you know?” I ask, sitting up all the way now, my hands on my hips.

He shrugs again, this time totally indifferent. “We talk.”

I stare over at him. “Christian told you?”

“Yep.” He yawns as he leans back on his bed.

I frown as I watch him. “You’re not jealous?”

He gives me a look that is basically rolling his eyes without actually rolling his eyes. “Do you want me to be?”

“Maybe?” I shrug, nose up in the air again.

“Alright—” He launches himself up. “I’m back to hitting Christian again…”

“Julian!” I laugh, grabbing his hand and pulling him back down on top of me.

He touches my face and gives me the eyes that before made me think he liked me.

“You’re trouble, Tiges. Do you know that?”

“I’ve heard it before, once or twice.” I bat my eyes at him.

He licks away a smile. “Yeah, right.”

You said it was nothing.

I said it wouldn’t last.

don’t do fucking semantics with me.

Christian said they’re good together.

What do you want me to say, Beej?

That they’re not?

They are.

Why don’t you try calling time with your girlfriend and see if that changes anything?

I’m not calling shit.

Not while she’s with him.
