“Nope.”

“I gotcha, us guys don’t tend to get all deep and shit about our feelings,” he continues, brushing a hand across his jaw. “But look, for what it’s worth, Lu did also tell me that Tessa does really like you.”

“Yeah?” I ask, trying not to sound too excited by the fact she’s been talking about me like that.

“Yep,” he nods. “Just, you know, be honest with her. Chicks dig that. I mean Lu was scared shitless I was gonna piss off back home to Oz when she and I hooked up and you know, I had to reassure her I was here to stay. Once I did that, things were peachy.”

I’m nodding at his words, even though I don’t really understand half the shit he says. I do know that I need to be honest with Tessa though. And not just about me thinking about the whole long-term thing either. I also promised her other things too. Like being all in with her. And telling her how I made my money, even if I get the feeling that particular conversation is going to be awkward as fuck now.

Sighing I pull my phone from my pocket, wanting to get this taken care of sooner rather than later.

Me: Okay, date number 5? Tonight? My place…promise we will talk. About a lot of things.
