Noah has this quiet confidence; he’s not only a good kid, he’s sweet, and has a generous nature. Too generous. The couple of girlfriends he’s had have completely walked all over him because he just can’t be an asshole. I really don’t want Juliette to reject him, break his heart and leave him moping around. He’s an adult, I get it, but he’s still my little brother.
Me
Just don’t get in too deep. Like you said, it was one hot night
Noah
Never listen to anything I say. Speaking of which, how did soccer go?
Me
What do you mean by soccer?
Noah
A cute as a button baker named Chelsea
Me
I’m gonna blame Dad for this
Noah
For what?
Me
Us being hopeless romantics. It’s not all it’s cut out to be
Noah
I think you should go for it with her. She’s awesome
Me
And if we fuck it up?
Noah
You won’t. You make a pact to always be friends, no matter what. I always knew you’d get together eventually
Me
You did not
Noah
You can’t keep birds of a feather apart
I chuckle to myself.
Me
Go to sleep. It’s late. I’ll see you at the office
Noah
Sweet dreams, lover boy
