I couldn’t help but laugh “I can’t believe you called Blaire Finlay and asked her what she knew”
Jiirl before she was a Finlay Even married to hot, sexy-as-hell, doirl”
The way Rush looked at his wife, I couldn’t iirl”—even Jiardless of his friend being married to him
“Now, tell me, any yummy deets you can share about Mase?”
I thought about last night and how good he had made me feel Even after I lost it and entle and sweet
“I love him” There, I’d said it I had to say to it someone
Jimmy slammed on the brakes and looked atlot yet “You did not just say that”
I shrugged “I can’t help it I won’t tell him But he makes it iirl drea”
Jiroaned in frustration “Baby girl, what are you thinking? You can’t fall in love with Mase Manning He doesn’t even live here, for starters Long-distance relationships don’t work He’s a grown, very healthy onna have wo themselves at him over in Texas You can’t love him He’s the kind you enjoy and appreciate Not love”
My good mood evaporated A sick knot formed in my stomach
Was Jiht? Probably He knew so much more about relationships than I did
Did Mase have to have sex? I hadn’t given him sex Oh, God
“He’s probably got a wooodies fro you didn’t have sex with him, did you? Don’t answer that, I know you didn’t I would have seen it all over your face if you had So that et it somewhere, Reese Those are the facts, and I don’t want you hurt”
Hurt? I was devastated “But I love him,” was all I could say
Jih “I’m sorry I don’t want you to be upset But you don’t need to be blind to this Has he told you he loves you?”
I shook my head no
Jionna do with you? Love is one of theot that friend we can double-date with”
Mase had said I was his He didn’t want anyone else to see me in my swimsuit I didn’t know if that meant ere exclusive, because apparently, I didn’t know a lot But I didn’t want to go out with someone else And I didn’t think Mase would want me to
If I was his, he wouldn’t sleep with someone elsewould he?
The Mase I kneouldn’t do that I didn’t believe he would have sex with someone else He hadn’t told s that ed to me Like he wanted to be mine
