TWENTY-SIX

Josh

She was across the room, sitting with Hazel and James, laughing so hard there were tears spilling from her eyes.

We’d been at Hazel and Luke’s house for nearly two hours. The food was gone and the drinks were flowing, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. And I wasn’t the only one.

Quite a few times throughout the night, I’d caught Reed also watching her. We ate around Hazel and Luke’s long oak table and both found ourselves opposite her. It was amazing that no one noticed that neither of us could keep our eyes off of her. Without interrupting or drawing attention, we watched her interact with our friends. Her laugh was contagious, she was engaged in every conversation, and she gave us all the same amount of attention and enthusiasm.

James announced he received another promotion at work—the workaholic asshole—and Amanda cheered like she was the one that got the raise along with it.

And when Devon mentioned his sister had been accepted into the college of her dreams, she’d wrapped him in a hug. One we all knew he needed—mixed with his excitement was also plenty of doubt and nerves.

With his mom still fighting the cancer ravaging her body, Devon felt like it was his job to put his sister through school and make sure she didn’t miss out on anything. The guy had more on his plate than any of us really knew, even being his best friends.

“Josh, have you heard a word I said?”

Shaking off my Amanda-filled thoughts, I turned back to my brother.

“No, sorry. What’d you say?”

He laughed and gave me an incredulous look. “That has to be the tenth time you’ve done that tonight. So, what the hell is going on? Where’s your head?”

I glanced between him and Devon. They were both looking at me expectantly, and I knew there was no getting out of it. And I had to admit that the idea of talking to someone about the situation was tempting.

Amanda—and, as a result, Reed—hadn’t been far from my thoughts. It was simultaneously a nightmare and a blessing. At one moment, I was thinking about her on her knees, her blue eyes staring up at me as she sucked me like she was made to do it. And then the next, I was trying to calculate the probability that, against all odds, she’d pick me in the end.

It was fucking exhausting.

“There’s this woman,” I started and watched the smiles grow across both of their faces.

“Go on,” Luke urged.

“She’s literally perfect and everything I could fucking want, but… there’s another guy.”

Devon groaned. “Please, for the love of God, tell me she isn’t married. Or engaged. Or in a relationship at all.”

Ardently, I shook my head. “No, it’s not like that.”

“Okay, then…” Devon questioned.

I glanced around to see if anyone else was within hearing distance. Amanda, Hazel and James were still talking in the living room, and Reed had stepped outside a few minutes before to talk to his mom.

It was just me, Luke and Devon alone in the kitchen, hovering around the island.
