ME: Two years ago I met a girl. She was stunning, smart, sweet, and I instantly knew I wanted to be with her. But I was also a chicken shit, and instead of pursuing her, I stood by and watched and waited for the perfect moment. A moment that took way too damn long to happen. But when it did, it felt like fate. And since that moment, luck has been on our side. We've spent the last six weeks or so together. In class. At work (story for another time). Things were going great until I did a stupid thing and scared her away. Let me reiterate that for those of you who are a little slow. I SCREWED UP. Which is why you're reading this sappy as hell text. Because I need help winning back my pretty girl. And I'm sure each of you owes me a favor or two, so I'm collecting. And if you don't, remember this the next time you ask me to cook for you. Who's in?
Finn is the first to reply, not that I'm surprised. What does surprise me is that every single one of my friends says almost the same damn thing. Brady is the only one who doesn't respond.
FINN: Piper. About damn time.
COLT: Are you finally admitting you're in love with Piper?
DECLAN: After all this time, I'm so proud you're confessing your love for our little genius.
MAX: You asshole. I just talked to you ten minutes ago. Why didn't you tell me you were in love with Piper?
KANE: I'm in. Piper's hot. If she turns you down, I'll be first in line to pick up the pieces.
COLT: I smacked Kane in the back of the head for you @Julian.
MICAH: Happy to help, man.
CRAIG: Which one is Piper? Is she the one with the long brown hair you were talking to on the porch during rush week?
LEO: She has a bangin' bod. Evie introduced me to her at the party. You have good taste.
MAX: I told you to stay away from my sister @Leo. Don't make me repeat myself.
LEO: I said Piper has a nice bod, not Evie.
MAX: I don't care what you said. You shouldn't have been talking to Evie in the first place. Understood?
FINN: Calm down, Max. Talking is not having sex. You should know this since you've been banned from sex with half the university.
MAX: WTF, MAN! One house. And how dare you tell everyone.
KANE: No sex for Max? Fuck. We're all screwed in this situation. Well, except Max.
COLT: {laughing emoji}
DECLAN: That was pretty funny. Sorry, Max.
MAX: Screw all of you.
MICAH: You can't, remember? You're banned from sex.
MAX: Fuck my life!
FINN: Max, please stop. You know they're going to keep going, and you're giving them the ammo. Just stop typing.
The three little dots next to Max's name disappear, reappear, and then disappear again.
ME: As much fun as this conversation is, it's gotten off track. I need your help winning Piper back. We're going to do it at the Halloween party, so I need all your help.
As I lay out the details of the plan, the guys chime in with a few good ideas. Max is incredibly helpful, especially considering he's getting nothing out of this. Colt and Kane are less than enthusiastic about their roles, but they don't have a choice when Max makes the command decision.
By the time I finally get in my car, I'm feeling pretty good about the plan. Tossing my backpack on the passenger seat, I reach inside and pull out the carnations, roll down my window, and toss them out.
I'll be buying her roses from now on. Purple because it's her favorite color. Roses because she deserves the best.
