Page 74 of The Friend Situation

He has always been the logical one, and I have a feeling he knows more than I do because of Lexi. I’ve always been known to take more risks, even if I know the odds.

Easton

I won’t get involved until you admit there is something going on.

Weston

We’re just friends. That’s it. Nothing more. There will be TONS of signs if it’s anything other than that. Okay?

Easton

This text conversation is your sign. Idiot.

I actually laugh.

Weston

Rude fuck.

Easton

If I had feelings for her and learned she was meeting her ex, who was the love of her life, at one of MY goddamn clubs, I’d make my presence very fucking known without apology.

As much as I hate to admit it, he’s right.

Weston

Want to switch places?

Easton

If I wasn’t on my way to dinner with my beautiful wife, I’d be in. The things I’d ask …

Weston

You couldn’t handle her responses to the questions you’d ask, little bro. Trust me.

I’m fifty-five seconds older than him, and I don’t ever let him live it down.

Easton

Listen, Carlee is a genuinely good person, and she deserves happiness as much as you do, so don’t fucking destroy her, Weston. Got it? You won’t survive each other.

Weston

I’m aware.

Easton

Also was SHOCKED to learn you went on a date together last weekend.

I read his text, wondering how he knew. Maybe Carlee told him. If so, that’s proof that she’s been thinking about me, as I suspected.

Weston

It wasn’t a date.

Easton
