Page 75 of The Friend Situation

Bullshit. It was Ambrosia, Weston. You don’t have dinner with “friends” there. It was a bold statement. Even Carlee knows that. Having a drink with Naomi first was clever though. Always hiding in plain sight.

Weston

I thought so too. What else did she say?

I’m enjoying this candid conversation too much.

Easton

You swam. Drank too much bourbon. And then she tried to take advantage of you, but you were a perfect gentleman and respected her. She’s extremely embarrassed. Said she doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to look you in the eye. She could barely talk to me. It was awkward as fuck!

Weston

Hilarious.

I send the message, swallowing hard.

Easton

Don’t play games.

Weston

I’m not.

Easton

Watching this unfold is frustrating.

Weston

Oh, like you and Lexi were any better. Give me a break. I think you’re even more annoying now, Daddy.

I tease him every chance I get, but it’s just fun and games. I love that Easton and Lexi are going to be parents. My brother will be an incredible, attentive dad, and I can’t wait to be an uncle. It’s still asecret, but they’re almost ready to announce the pregnancy. Lexi won’t be able to hide it much longer.

Weston

I’m very happy for you. Jealous but happy.

Easton

Thanks. Thrilled to almost have my brother back.

Weston

Trying.

Easton

Don’t forget who you are and what you survived. I support whatever decision you make, okay?

Weston

Thanks for the pep talk. We really are JUST friends though.

Easton

Yeah, and I only wanted Lexi as my “fake” wife.
