He laughs so hard he has a coughing fit Senia and Eddie turn around to see what the fuss is about and I wave at theht I was a stripper?"
"That was Senia’s suggestion"
"Tell her I said thank you What was your suggestion?"

He pulls away and squints atto be rabs my hand and we pick up our pace to catch up with Senia and Eddie
"I suggested that you ht be a stalker," I ad his head
"You’re testinghonest You’ve known more about me than I’ve known about you fro why the fuck I only see you on weekends while you’re pu Cora for information on me You do realize that’s not fair"
"All Cora toldin May and you don’t go to school That doesn’t make me a stalker" He chuckles when he says stalker "Have you ever considered that you ht be a bit easier to read than you think you are?"
I shake e "You think you have ht kind of flowers and you guessed that I dropped out of school? Well, let , Adao And I’ to think that’s all you’ll ever know"
When we arrive at the hookah lounge, he opens the door for us to go inside, but he refuses to look at me We sit at a booth with a low table in front of us and Adam immediately snatches the ins to sense the tension between Adam and me as I scoot closer to her and farther from him I shake my head so she doesn’t mention it and she rolls her eyes
"Cranberry juice shisha? What a fuckin’ joke," Adam says as he tosses the ot so drink mixer"
He tucks his hand behind his back as the waitress comes by and asks for our order and what kind of pipe we’d like to s any of it Adam orders a water pipe and points at the first flavor on the menu: Kiwi As the waitress leaves, his eyes follow her ass for a few seconds before he turns back to us
"Don’t they have water in this place?" I ask, suddenly parched
"We’ll get you solances around the lounge as if we don’t exist
Eddie looks at Senia questioningly and she whispers so in his ear His eyes widen a little as if he understands, but he never looks at Adaot me to open up Chris was my best friend until Isecrets to Eddie A s to share with hi probably has more to do with Adam’s presence than irls’ room?" Senia asks sweetly
Eddie stands up so Senia and I can slide out of the booth I n I see in the corner near the entrance, eager to get away from Adam and his shitty attitude I should have never asked him to come out on a Friday
As soon as we enter the restroom, Senia rounds on me "What the fuck is up with you two?"
"I don’t know Onea stripper, the nexthis patience’ He’s got multiple personalities"
Senia rolls her eyes "Woman, he doesn’t have multiple personalities He’s in love"
"What? That’s stupid"
The restroom door opens and Senia shakes her head as she scoots out of the way for three girls to enter "It’s not stupid I’m sorry, Claire, but you were spoiled by Chris He was too patient with you because he knew that hat you needed But the probleuys behave when they’re in love"
"He’s not in love We’ve known each other for teeks"
"It doesn’t uy is either in love or jonesin’ for your hoo-hah Just do me a favor and trust me when I say you need, need, need to let yourself experience this Even if it’s just a fling He’s the kind of guy who can help you put that other shit behind you"
"Or bring it all to the surface and cause a mental breakdown I haven’t told you about our little bet, have I?"
"What bet?"
A girl wearing way too much eyeliner smiles at me as she exits the restrooone I sigh "He bet et o back to school"
