I sigh and swallow.
“You promise you love me?”
He nods. “Infinitely.”
“And you want to be with me?” I frown.
“Forever.” He nods again. “And I’m gonna be. We’re going to figure this out.”
I press my lips together and growl a little from the back of my throat.
“Fine.”
His face lights up.
“Yeah?”
I roll my eyes. “Yeah.”
We head back to our friends who are all making stupid noises as we walk back into the restaurant. I roll my eyes dramatically as I take my seat next to Henry.
“We all good?” Henry asks brightly, looking between us.
I clear my throat.
“At BJ’s request we are going to be… friends.”
“What the fuck?” Bridget leans across and smacks BJ over the head.
“No!” groans Henry.
Jonah covers his face and lets out an exasperated moan. “That was an unsanctioned decision—”
Beej starts laughing, watching me from across the table.
Christian tosses me a cautious look. “Fuck, this sounds like a headache.”
“Are you okay?” whispers Taura.
“He told me he loves me,” I whisper back.
She pulls back and stares over at BJ. “You told her you love her and you’re still going to make her be your friend after the shit you pulled on my birthday?”
I stare at her, incredulous. “I whispered that for a reason.”
She swats her hand at me dismissively and looks around at everyone else. “Anyone here surprised to learn that Beej is in love with Parks? Quick show of hands—” (“No,” “It’s terribly obvious,” “It’s actually all he talks about,” “I genuinely wish he loved her less,” they all say at the same time.)
BJ looks over at me, eyes locked on mine, shaking his head at the ridiculousness of our friends.
He’s grinning.
And I stare at him, trying to look annoyed but everything is better with him, everything is fun, everything feels special, even being his stupid friend sounds like the time of my bloody life, and I want to pout at him, try to get him to give me my way, but he looks happy and I love him more than I love me, so I want him to be happy more than I want me to be happy.
Besides.
I give him a week.
