I scoff. “Love? I barely know the four of them.”
She shrugs, a sad look on her face. “Time doesn’t really factor into it, does it? Sometimes you just know.”
Once again, I find myself wondering what’s going on with my bestie. I’ve tried to get her to talk to me, but she still hasn’t told me what’s going on. It’s driving me crazy. I don’t even think she’s been talking to Chloe or Laoise, which is unlike her. Usually she opens up to all three of us, or at the very least, one of us.
“Tali, is everything okay?”
She shakes her head, forcing a smile. “Of course. I would tell you if it wasn’t, wouldn’t I?”
Up until recently, I would’ve said the answer to that was yes. But now? I’m not so sure. I also know she isn’t going to open up until she’s ready, so I won’t pressure her for now.
“Good. I just wanted to make sure.”
Tali pushes to her feet before grabbing my hand and pulling me from my chair. “Now, I want to hear all about these men who you can’t stop thinking about. Tell me when you’re seeing them again. How was the last date? Also, I was thinking we should have the girls over for dinner one night this week.”
“Sure, Tali. That sounds like a plan. As for our last date...” I quickly fill her in as she leads me into the kitchen. She listens to me as we start dinner prep, but before I can tell her I have no idea when we’re hanging out next, my phone goes off.
Pulling it out, I find a new text from Cypian.
CY:Hey, Pretty Girl. The guys and I were talking. We’d like to take you out this week so we can check off a few more things off your list.
ME:I’d love that. What did you have in mind?
CY:We thought we’d each take you out on an individual date.
CY:We know you have work, so we can take you whenever you’re free.
ME:That sounds great. Luckily, I’m my own boss so I can take time when I want.
ME:I’d say the time of day would depend on the activity.
ME:Who am I going out with first?
CY:That would be me. I won the first date.
ME:Do I even want to know how you “won” the date?
CY:No. Probably not. *winky face emoji*
ME:Okay, when would you like to go? What will we be doing?
CY:Tomorrow if you’re free.
CY:And I’d like the what to remain a secret if you don’t mind.
ME:Now I’m intrigued.
ME:But tomorrow sounds great. What time?
CY:Does 6:00 work for you?
ME:That’s perfect.
CY:Then it’s a date.
ME:See you then.
Setting my phone to the side, I glance up to find Tali smirking at me. “What?”
