I was just about done tidying up the apartment when AJ came home with a long face.

“I thought you were spending the afternoon with Ruby,” I said.

“I thought so too, but she broke up with me, dude,” he said, dropping his backpack on the floor.

I’d sort of seen this coming but hadn’t said anything. After that double date for dim sum, AJ was even more gaga over Ruby than ever, but it seemed like the feelings weren’t mutual. Like Indi and me, he would have gotten together with her every night if she’d let him, but more and more she gave him excuses. They were plausible excuses, but people make time for what’s important to them and AJ didn’t seem to be high on Ruby’s priority list.

“What happened?”

He went to the fridge for a beer and held up two bottles. “You want one?”

The reason I was tidying up was that Indi and I were going to study together. Even though it didn’t seem right to be drinking a beer before she got here, when a friend got dumped, the Bro Code demanded you have a drink with him in sympathy.

“Sure.”

He popped the tops and we sat on the couch.

“You know what she said to me? She said I had no sex appeal.”

“That’s pretty fucking rude.”

“To be fair, she didn’t use those exact words. She said she didn’t feel any spark, and that’s pretty much the same thing. When I kissed her, she didn’t feel diddly squat.” He took a swig from his beer. “Maybe I should join a monastery.”

I held back a laugh. “Dude. That’s the way it goes sometimes. It’s got to be mutual. You don’t want to be with someone who’s not into you, right?”

He heaved a sigh and took another pull on his beer. “She was my beautiful Hawaiian Buttercup. I would have loved her forever. I will love her forever.”

I doubted that. I’d seen AJ fall in love three times since I’d known him. Had he truly been in love with those girls? Maybe. He certainly believed it. But I knew he’d probably be over this in a week.

“And now I have to see her in photography class for the rest of the semester,” he moaned. “I don’t know if I can stand it.”

“I’m sorry,” I said again. “That really sucks.”

“How are things with you and Indi? There are sparks for you two, right?”

“Yeah, lots of sparks.”

There was a fucking conflagration whenever we made out. My cock got so hot, my pants should have ignited.

AJ clinked his bottle against mine. “I’m happy for you, bro. I truly am.”

There was a knock at the door. “Speak of the devil,” I said.

AJ just sighed and drank more beer.

I opened the door to see Indi standing there bundled up in a sweater, scarf, coat and jeans, a backpack hung on her shoulder. She had a knit cap on her head that for some reason made me want to kiss her. Not that I needed any excuses to kiss her.

“It’s so cold outside!” she exclaimed, stomping her feet.
