“Poor guy. Mason is such a sweet gentle giant. Why would anyone do that to someone?”
I shrug because I have no clue, relationships confound me. The only one that has been consistent is Amelia and that’s different. She fits, we fit, and it isn’t like we pledged marriage to each other.
“Fuck knows, but I hear his ex ended up with a hockey player from Ethan’s team, the Manhattan Cleavers.”
“Wow, what a bitch.”
“Yeah, the joke’s on her because Ethan fired him for fighting with one of the coaches. Although everyone thinks it was because of Mason.”
“Good for Ethan. He should have his brother’s back.”
Our food arrives and my mouth waters at the huge greasy burger in front of me. Immediately Amelia and I begin our usual song and dance. She takes the extra bacon from her burger and gives it to me and I load half my fries onto her plate because she always says she won’t want them and always does.
It makes me smile and she sees it.
“What?”
I shake my head. “Nothing.”
“No, tell me.”
“It’s just nice to have this back. I missed it.”
“Me too.”
Amelia takes a bite from her burger and chews, her eyes closed and a look of pure bliss on her face and my cock twitches in my jeans. Why does she look so damn sexy eating a fucking burger?
“Oh my God, this is so good.” Her moan of pleasure does nothing for the tent in my pants and I cover my groan by taking a bite of my own burger. She’s right, it is good. I slurp down some of the chocolate peanut butter milkshake and sigh.
We allow a comfortable silence to settle over us as we eat and it amazes me how easily we can slip back into this when we get out of our own way.
Amelia is finishing up the last few fries as I lean back and pat my flat belly. “That hit the spot.”
“Yeah for now, but I bet you’ll be hungry before we even get home.”
I love that she always calls whichever apartment or house we’re at home, whether it’s mine or hers. It’s something we’ve both done.
“I could probably squeeze in a slice of cheesecake on the way home.”
Her eyes look bright and she practically bounces in her seat. “From Mama Lucy’s?”
“It’s on the way back.”
“I’ll get the check.”
She raises her hand and I stop her. “No, you don’t. This is my treat, remember?”
“Fine but I’m buying the cheesecake.”
I want to argue but this isn’t a date so I nod. “Fine.”
As we walk down the street she looks at me sideways. “Can I ask you something?”
“My life is an open book to you.”
“Lies but I’ll let that slide for now.”
I tense at her comment but she goes on. “Did you know Xander before the ball and before we met Norrie?”
