Hazel:Adventure. Always.
Alessandro:That’s my girl
Emiliano:Too strong, brother.
Alessandro:Never. See you Wednesday, gorgeous.
Hazel:See you Wednesday.
It was crazy how a text and some flirting had a smile on my face and a portion of my stress falling away. I was so angry that something as simple as a date could trigger such a windfall of bullshit, but in the end, I was proud of myself for agreeing.
With a plate of freshly baked brownies in hand, I walked into the living room and turned on some trash TV. Thirty minutes into it, Sienna joined. She didn’t ask me what was wrong; she just grabbed a portion for herself and joined, snuggling into my side in a show of silent support. Another twenty minutes, and Eliza was here doing the same.
We were all hysterically laughing at the people on the TV, the edibles hitting us just as the current episode ended. Sienna was grinning like a fool, and Eliza seemed fully relaxed, her body sprawled out. My mind was a little fuzzy, making everything comfortably soft around the edges.This is the perfect time to tell them.
“I have a date Wednesday,” I casually said as the new episode started. They both froze, their laughter dying off, but it only took a few seconds for them to compose themselves.
“Same guys?” Sienna asked.
“Two of them. I’ll see the others after this one for their own date,” I admitted, a small smile tugged at my lips as I recalled the feel of Emiliano’s lips against mine.
“Good for you,” Eliza said. “Proud of you.”
Now, if I can just get through the dates without turning into a complete psycho, we’ll be golden.
Hazel:But what should I wear?
I sighedas I tossed my phone onto the bed. The twins were being cagey with details for the date, which meant I had no idea what we were doing. My interest had piqued when Emiliano had messaged asking if we could move up the start of our date to the afternoon, but that was all I knew.
Emiliano: Whatever you want. There’s no dress code.
Alessandro: Or nothing. We aren’t opposed to that. Might change our plans though.
Emiliano: Brother, we are trying not to scare her off! Ignore him, Hazel.
Alessandro: Note he didn’t say he wouldn’t be interested in that option.
Emiliano: I’m kicking your ass, A.
Alessandro: You could try.
Hazel: You two could wrestle it out. Have you seen anything about Turkish oil wrestling? It’s hot.
Emiliano: ….
Alessandro: I’m looking it up.
I burst out laughing, falling back on my bed as I waited for their reactions. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d laughed so much, and the date hadn’t even started yet. The twins could be intense, that much I already knew, but them being so fun and making me smile so much my face hurt made my heart pang.I want this.This feeling all the time. To just be excited about everyday shit.
My phone started to buzz with a call—Alessandro. Smothering a laugh, I answered brightly, “Yes? Did you look it up?”
“That was cruel,” Emiliano started, the echo of his words telling me I was on speakerphone. In the background, I could hear the roar of an engine. They must be on their way to pick me up.
“I’d be down to do that with you.” Alessandro hummed. “No need for anyone else though.”
“Are you ready?” Emiliano asked. “We’re about five minutes away.”
“If sitting on my bed naked counts as ready, then yes,” I teased them, unable to help myself. Their answering growls had me grinning. “You didn’t say what we’re doing.”
