I nodded "Who also happened to befor a subject change "What’re you ordering?"

"I tried to see if you were okay Last night, Iyou He wouldn’t budge"

"Oh" Well of course I knew that, but Max wouldn’t understand that I just couldn’t deal with talking to everyone about it He was the type of person who could talk about anything Anything at all, no matter how personal, and not feel aard or e of needing to keep anything private

"And then I ca the element of suspicion in his voice "Idid Jared stay with you? Or did he just leave straight after teleporting you there?"

"What’s with the round of twenty questions?"

"I’"

"Where there’s that waiter?" I didn’t need the waiter, I needed the exit

"Have you and Jared ever" He started playing with his own fingers, keeping his glare fixed on the table "Ifor his bullshit"

"I haven’t fallen for anything, or haven’t you noticed that he’s not here?" It came out much snappier than I’d intended Max didn’t seee in tone Histo you?"

"Has Jared said soh with a cutting edge to it "Jared says a lot of things Are you referring to how he made it obvious you talk to him about personal stuff, or that he told me you and him had kissed?"

The first seemed to bother his private, so for his private froh that’s not exactly uncommon with people you barely know but the fact that I have no probles with someone else is just incoht like him," he said before I could respond to his question "But you have to see that all he wants is to use you"

"He’d drop you straight after it easier than a bad habit"

"Max -"

"Did you know he never screws the same woman twice unless it’s one of his consorts?"

"Max, will you just stop with the ranting" I ht have been annoyed with Jared for what he’d said to Max but he’d only spoken the truth and it wasn’t like Max and I were together or anything And I had to wonder if Max had ranted at Jared and that’s why Jared had then disclosed the info I would’ve wanted to shut him up as well
