“So, what’s the issue then?”
“It’sWes Holt,” I grate out. “I hate that guy.”
Ryan just shrugs. “Sounds like the perfect fuck buddy arrangement to me. You get all this hot sex and it’s pretty much a guarantee that neither of you will developfeelingsand complicate everything like in that movie with Justin Timberlake.”
My face screws up in distaste at the mere thought of developing any kind of feelings other than hatred toward Wes Holt. “Oh god no.”
Ryan gives a little nod of satisfaction. “You see.” He turns his attention back towards the football match playing out on my giant TV, as though that’s the end of the conversation.
I sigh as my mind wanders back to the text exchange with Wes last week and the concerns his friend Natasha raised. I don’t for a second think Emma would want to get back together with me, and even if she did, as I told Wes, I’m not in that place anymore. But that doesn’t mean she won’t necessarily be a factor. “It could still get complicated, though. I mean, what about Emma?”
Ryan shrugs. “What about her?”
“He’s herbrother.”
Ryan just looks at me like I’m a few pence shy of a pound. “What the fuck does that matter? You’re not together anymore. It’s not any of her business what you do or who you do it with.”
“I guess…”
Ryan just shakes his head, letting out a soft huff of amusement. “Get real, mate. Don’t even try to pretend you give a shit what Emma thinks. If you were really worried about it, you wouldn’t have shagged him in the first place, let alone every day for the past few weeks.”
