Page 40 of I'm Yours

Me:Who’s involved in this threesome?

Justin:Triangle. Not threesome. Keep up. It’s Jessa, Carson, and Logan.

I scrunch my nose. That’s a very odd group. I can’t picture them getting along, much less dating in any capacity. Deciding to screw with him, I ask:

Me:Those three are together? That’s weird. They don’t have anything in common.

Justin:You’re seriously annoying the shit out of me. Stop being an idiot. Carson and Logan are fighting over Jessa.

Me:I know. I just like screwing with you.

Justin:So apparently I’m not allowed to schedule the three of them together and it’s insensitive of me to do so.

Me:Sounds fun.

Justin:It isn’t. It’s a pain in the ass.

Me:What am I supposed to do?

Justin:You know you’re better with people in these situations than I am.

I can’t help but laugh out loud at that. He’s a liar. I’m terrible with people when it comes to drama. I have no tolerance for it. Which maybe that’s why he thinks I’m better at it than he is. I shut the shit down before it has a chance to get started.

Me:I’m getting ready to send you a sympathy card for your troubles.

Justin:By sympathy card I hope you mean bottle of Jack.

Justin:**sends picture**

I press my lips together at the pathetic selfie he just sent me. It’s of him fake crying while the triangle argues in the background.

Me:Yikes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Carson look angry before.

Justin:Me either. But according to Jessa, he’s suddenly alpha, which apparently doesn’t have anything to do with dogs like I thought it did. I’m dying here. Save me.

Me:I think you’ll survive.

Justin:I won’t. This is more than I’m equipped to handle. This is why I can’t have kids. They turn into teenagers then they turn into twenties and you’d think that’d be better but obviously it isn’t.

Me:Now who’s dramatic?

Justin:It’s catching! I’ve got the drama bug. I need a vacation.

Me:You could always come here to visit. Get away from the drama for a bit.

Justin:I thought you’d never ask! How many hints did I need to drop?

Me:Um, one? You said vacation and I offered?

Justin:See you in two weeks.

Me:Emmy will be thrilled.

I glance around and am happy to see the women have stopped staring at me but that’s probably because I hear commotion that tells me Emmy’s class is almost finished.

Justin:How is my little girl doing? I didn’t think I’d miss the squirt but fuck, man, you stole my girl away.

Me:She’s finishing up her first dance class right now.
