“I’ve never been here before, have you?” Tenley curiously scans the interior of Bub’s Pub.

“I stumbled upon it one night when I was visiting my cousins.”

“Do you mean you stumbled in? Or stumbled out?”

I laugh. “I didn’t do either. Finding it was a lucky break. I was killing time and decided to check out their menu. The food’s awesome and I’ve been back a few times since.”

“I like the Irish feel of the decor. The dark wood and dim lighting are welcoming. I feel like I could be sitting in some pub in Ireland.”

“I think that’s probably the idea of the Irish themed decor,” I droll.

“You think?” she teases back. “What’s good to order?”

“I’ve only tried a couple of different things. The Shepherd’s Pie is awesome and the steak tips and mashed potatoes are mouth watering. I’ve also had the chicken tenders and potato skins.”

“That’s more than a couple.”

“You felt the need to point that out, huh?” I smile and she tips her head to her shoulder in a half shrug.

The waitress stops beside our booth to take our order. I get the Shepherd’s Pie and Tenley gets mac and cheese with chicken tenders.

“Mmm, I’m so hungry. I can’t wait to eat.”

“Do you always have a healthy appetite, or is it because you’re eating for two?”

“I can put food away surprisingly well. I think people are deceived by my size.”

“I hope you ordered whatever you want. I don’t want you to eat less than you should because you’re worried about me seeing how much you eat.”

“Yeah, that would never happen. You’re going to see so much worse by the end of this pregnancy. I don’t think it matters how much I eat in front of you. Besides, we’re just friends, right?”

Is she trying to remind me that we’ll only be friends? Or am I way off base?

I don’t know what to say in reply. Mostly, because I need to analyze my own feelings for her and I don’t want to go through the work. Do I find her attractive? Yes. Would I fuck her again if I had the chance? Hell yes. In a heartbeat. Do I want her to be more than a friend? I’m not sure. I don’t think of her like I do my female friends. She’s important and I enjoy her company more.

What that means I’m not ready to work out. So, I answer in the only safe way I can. “Sure, we’re friends.”

“Friends tell each other things.”

Oh here we go. The let’s confess shit we don’t want to discuss. Every female I’ve ever tried to be friends with always has to turn things awkward by asking too many questions.

“Friends tell each other some things,” I correct.

She grins mischievously. “How many girls have you been with?”

I don’t answer right away. I don’t know the number off the top of my head. And I might forget a few just because they were meaningless hookups. I decide to fuck with Tenley a little. I flip each of my fingers on both hands up one at a time until I run out of fingers.
