“So, how was it?” Demetrius asked as he cracked open a beer.

D had come over to Jake’s place to watch the football game.

“How was what?”

“Fool, don’t play dumb! How was your fake date with that lady?”

“It was good. Her family is a lot like mine. So, it felt like I was at home.”

“And?”

“And, what?”

“Did you hit it?”

Jake gave his friend the side eye as he took a swig of beer.

“Well, did you?”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Okay, did you at least kiss her?”

“Yeah, man. Why are you all up in my business?”

“Because y’all looked like you were ready to fuck last week. I figured if you got to spend a little alone time with her that you’d hit it.”

“Well, I didn’t want to ‘hit it.’ At least not like that. She deserves better than a ‘hit it and quit it’ type of thing.”

“Ohhhhh! So, you’re catching feelings?”

“And?” Jake shrugged.

“Damn! You’re not even trying to hide it. This must be serious. Am I doing it the wrong way? The next girl I date, should we just skip all the prelim stuff and move straight to meeting the family? Is that it? Or is this a case of ‘fake it till you make it?’”

“I don’t know, man! Why are you asking me? By chance I linked up with a lovely woman. It was only supposed to be exchanging favors. But so far, we actually like each other. We’ll see what happens from there. I’m trying not to sweat it too much. But with all these questions, you’re starting to freak me out. Lay off, D.”

Demetrius held up his hands in surrender. “Alright. Alright. I didn’t mean to freak you out. I just thought you’d tell me about her like you have with the ladies you been with in the past. I am your best friend after all.”

“I’m sorry, man. I don’t mean to snap. This just feels…different.”

“I see that.” D grinned. “I hope it works out. You look happy.”

“I am.” Jake sighed.

D held up his bottle of beer. Jake reached over to the other side of the couch and they clinked bottles together.

“I just hope I’m enough for her. Her family mentioned she likes suit and tie guys. That’s not me. I hope she’s okay with that.” Jake scraped at the label on his beer with his nail.

“J, you’re a solid dude. And you may not be a suit and tie guy, but you’ve run your own business for more than a decade…successfully. If that’s not good enough for her, she’s not good enough for you.”

“You’re right.”

“I know.” D smirked. “But I get it. I can tell you really dig her.”

“I do.”
