“It is. I just.. I guess I don’t like him flirting with that waitress.”
“When you’re sleeping with two other men?”
I swallow hard.
She has a point. I have no right at all to be jealous, but I can’t help it.
As we walk to the table, Sebastian smiles and tips his glass at me, winking.
I force myself to smile back and go to the table with Marie, making sure I’m facing the bar.
Marie orders a cocktail, and I get a mocktail with ginger ale.
“Just let me sniff your drink.”
Marie laughs. “It won’t do any good.”
I groan. “I know, it’s horrible.”
My eyes keep trailing to Sebastian.
“You’ve got it bad, you know.”
My eyes turn to my best friend. “I do not. I just... I like him, you know?”
“Even though he’s mysterious?”
He’s not so mysterious anymore.
But I don’t want to spill Sebastian’s personal life to Marie.
“I like mysterious.”
“What aboutlove?”
I choke on my ginger ale mocktail. “I don’t know about all that.”
“Not even with Dom?”
“Not even,” I mutter, but it’s not that Idon’thave feelings for all of them. I do.
I just don’t want Marie to know I’m falling for three men.
She shrugs. “I wish I could be like you. Every time I sleep with someone, I fall in love.”
I chuckle. “I know, your thirteen ex-boyfriends and girlfriends gave me a clue.”
She pouts. “Listen, I was at eleven, and then thosetwins...”
I burst out laughing, and she smiles.
“It’s good to see you back to your old self. You were so upset and depressed all the time before.”
“I’m sorry you guys had to deal with that.”
Marie frowns. “Don’t apologize. We signed up to be your best friends. Whatever that means. We take care of you.”
I smile, tears pricking at the backs of my eyes. “Don’t be so sweet; I’m hormonal.”
