Max chuckles, not admitting what we both know as truth, before letting me go. As soon as I hang up, I unfold the paper and sigh.
LT,
Didn’t want you to think I was running away so I wrote you this note. I smell bad. Need a shower. Headed home before your brother grows even more suspicious. Let’s grab coffee tomorrow and talk more.
Love,
Finn
My heart swells in my chest as I hold the note to my lips. He’s so sweet. He knew I would freak out if he wasn’t here when I woke up.
There’s a knock on my door before I can even close my eyes again. When I call out for Kendall to come in, she peeks her head in the small opening, a grimace on her face.
“Can we talk?”
“Do you want to talk about it?” I counter, patting the mattress next to me.
“Not really,” she confesses as she lays down in Finn’s spot.
Finn’s spot. I like the sound of that. I almost don’t want to let her usehispillow, so she doesn’t ruin the way it smells.
“We’re not a serious thing. Not like you and Finn.”
“K, you’re allowed to sleep with whoever you want. I don’t care who he is as long as he makes you happy and treats you good.”
“You didn’t see his face?” she asks, bolting upright.
“No,” I say, stretching out the word far longer than necessary. “Do I want to know?”
Kendall shakes her head. “Not yet. Let me figure this out first. Like I said, we’re not serious or anything. Plus, he swears Finn saw his face, so it’s not like it’s a secret anyway.”
“Well, I don’t plan on asking Finn, so until you’re ready to tell me, your secret is safe. I’ll make sure he keeps his mouth shut, too.”
“Just stick your boobs in his face. He won’t have much to say then, will he?” she jokes, her face breaking out in one of her signature smiles.
There’s my best friend.
