“Yes, it is,” she retorted.

“No, it isn’t,” I replied.

“Yes. It. Is!” she cried.

Whoa.

At the drama, I narrowed my eyes on my bestie.

“Oh my God, bitch, dial down the sexual frustration already,” Luna ordered from the front seat. “Jess isn’t at Eric’s more, but even if she was, who cares? Get over yourself and jump on Javi, for all of our sakes.”

And…

Yeah.

Three months and that hadn’t gone anywhere except to make Harlow be very un-Harlow on occasion.

That was my nice way of saying she could act like a bitch.

As in…now.

“Pot, say hello to kettle,” Raye said under her breath.

Oh shit.

Luna’s head snapped to Raye behind the wheel. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Harlow is in a game of hide and seek with Javi, but every time he finds where she’s hiding, she hides somewhere else. We all got that down since we’ve been watching it for three months. But I don’t know what you and Knox are playing at,” Raye returned.

“Mortal Kombat?” I suggested.

“Nothing is playing between Knox and me,” Luna asserted (or more accurately,lied). “We’re just friends.”

“You two fight a lot for just being friends,” Harlow pointed out. “You act like Luke and Ava, except without the marriage and babies, but with the sexual tension.”

It must be said, Luke and Ava could bicker.

It was cute.

Knox and Luna?

It would be, if they were jumping each other’s bones after, which they weren’t.

So…

Not so cute.

“That’s because he can be annoying,” Luna fired back. “And there is no sexual tension.”

“He’s almost as mellow as Eric,” I stated. “And we pretty much choke on the tension anytime you two are around each other.” I turned again to Harlow. “It’s suffocating if you and Javi are there too.”

Harlow crossed her arms on her chest and pouted, “It’s the man’s job to make the moves.”

“Oh my God, are you serious?” I asked.

“How many moves does he have to make before he gets himself some?” Raye asked right after me.

Harlow looked out the side window, which meant this conversation was over.
