“Depending on how your summer goes,” Tobin quips.
I can’t help a soft snort, and Nix is forced to agree with us, even though I can tell she really doesn’t want to.
“Okay, fine. If the summer turns into a shit show, I won’t be moving my stuff to his place.”
“But we need to make a decision before then,” I remind her. “And I can’t take that lease on for the summer. I don’t want to use up all my savings on rent.”
“We could try to find you some new roommates before then,” Tobin says hopefully.
“Three? With summer on our doorstep? Yeah, I can’t see that happening,” I mumble, scuffing the ground with my sneaker.
Tobin reaches behind Nix to rub my shoulder. “Aw, Dani Girl. What are you gonna do?”
“I don’t know.” I shrug, not wanting to think about how depressing Nolan’s going to be without Tobin and Jed. And now Nix is moving in with Mr. Ricky, and I’m… I don’t know what I am.
I need to get myself a fella.
If only one of these dates would work out.
I’ve been having a blast going out with Tyrell. Although, our last double date was a disaster thanks to the yoga queen. But it was fun debriefing afterward. Tyrell was so riled, which I’m not used to seeing, and it ended up making me giggle.
Tyrell Jackson all flustered and indignant that way is kinda cute.
I managed to get my game face on by the time I spoke to Tobin about it. He let out this horrified gasp as I recalled every ugly detail of the date.
Then he started laughing. “Did she really do that?”
“Yes!” I gave him an exasperated frown, and Nix, who had overheard the whole thing, backed me up.
Tobin swore he wasn’t pranking Tyrell and me, but I still revoked his privileges.
He pouted at me, then eventually sighed, “Fair enough. I was just trying to help you guys out.”
He then shared a look with Nix that I didn’t understand, his lips fighting a grin as he sauntered out of the room.
“What was that about?” I questioned Nix before she could take off too.
She shrugged. “Not sure.”
But the way she quickly hurried to her bedroom had my suspicions firing.
Shit, I hope this date tonight goes better. Thankfully, Tobin had nothing to do with the selection process.
I wonder what this new guy is going to be like for me.
Cole was nice enough, but thanks to the yoga queen, I didn’t really get a decent read on him.
But even if I had, would I be into him?
He seemed like a sweet guy, but he just wasn’t…
Atlas?
I wince, wishing that thought didn’t pop into my head after every damn date. Atlas isn’t here anymore. Do I really have to be haunted by him for the rest of my life? I love that man. I always will, but surely he’d want me to move on and be happy.
The right man is out there. You just have to be patient.
And a decent boyfriend has nothing to do with your housing situation, so would you focus, please?
