JUNIPER
âWait, what do you mean, you just left?â
âI went on a whole rant and just slipped out of his truck,â I repeated, knowing how crazy it sounded. It was the next afternoon, and I was finally catching Rory up on everything that had happened the day before.
âAnd he let you?â
âYeah,â I sighed unhappily.
âJust like that?â
âYeah.â I winced. âKind of.â Her head tilted with curiosity, and I explained, âI peeked through the blinds and noticed he was parked there for a while.â
âWow. You told him you wanted him to lose control, then you just got out of his truck!â She shrieked with a giggle. My mattress bounced, and I groaned. âWhy didnât you, I donât know, just kiss him!?â she exclaimed. I groaned.
âI donât know. I was nervous! And Iâd just blurted off how I was a grown woman who knew what she wanted and⦠I donât know! Ugh!â I lay on my bed and covered my face with my arm. âJust shoot me, put me out of my misery.â
âNope. I donât think so.â The bed moved again, and when I pulled my arm away to look at my best friend, she sat up and stared at me.
âWhat?â I mumbled.
âSo⦠you know what this means, right?â
âWhat?â I frowned.
âBabe, heâs into you,â she pointed out and then grinned. âAnd youâre into him!â
âRoryââ
âSo?!â
âSo, what?â I laughed, trying to figure out what she was thinking.
âDonât you know what this means?!â
âThat we like each other?â
âLike?â She looked at me like I was crazy. âHeâs in love with you!â
âOkay, hold on, youâre adding one plus one and ending up with a hundred.â
âNo. Iâm not! Juniper, I know that because this is happening to you, you probably need a moment, but Iâm going to catch you up here, and quick, because watching you pine for this man for the last three years has been hard.â
âRorââ
âWeâve both grown up here, and Iâve known Mr. Whittaker my whole life.â
âRoryâ"
âHe isnât some kind of Cassanova. If heâs into someone, which I donât think Iâve ever heard of, which, you know my mom, she loves gossip, and she would have said something. If heâs been into you for almost three yearsâ¦â My eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place.
âRory.â
âExactly!â She bounced. âSo, what are you going to do about it?â I blinked. I opened and shut my mouth then chewed on my lower lip as I thought about what she was saying.
âWhat am I going to do about it?â I was genuinely curious about what my best friend could come up with. I wasnât stupid or naïve. Iâd realized we both liked one another. âRory, Iâm a virgin. I couldnât flirt to get me out of a parking ticket!â I started to freak out. Thankfully, my best friend knew me better than I knew myself.
âOkay, so I have an idea.â
âReally?â She nodded with way too much enthusiasm, and I worried that whatever she had up her sleeve would be more than I could chew.
âTonightâs the anniversary, right? Of when you two met?â I groaned.
