Derrick: I knew you weren’t serious.

Isla: Oh no I was.

Derrick: Isla!!!!

Isla: I am. But not with you. Looking back at that, I think it would be weird. Even though everyone else has hooked up with each other so it’s not that weird.

Derrick: I love you, but I don’t want your man.

Isla: I know you don’t.

Derrick: You have to give this idea up.

Isla: That’s the thing, I can’t. I haven’t been able to talk to anyone about it, but the thought of watching Finn with another man makes me hot.

Derrick: Oh.

Isla: Yeah. But I think I kind of blew that conversation by my antics last night.

Derrick: I don’t think you should do it. You might seem like you could handle it but once it’s done you can’t undo it.

Isla: I know. That’s why I’ve never mentioned anything before. I kind of did spring it on him last night.

Derrick: If Finn doesn’t feel comfortable with the idea.

Isla: What happens if he’s just saying that, so he doesn’t hurt me?

Derrick: Do you think that’s what he’s doing?

Isla: Kind of. How can he just turn that part of his desires off? I can’t stop thinking I’m not enough.

Derrick: Baby girl, you are enough. That man loves you. He is happy.

Isla: He bought us the house in Malibu for my birthday.

Derrick: No, he didn’t. OMG.

Isla: He did and it’s gorgeous. I’ve never been happier.

Derrick: Why the hell are you rocking the boat then?

Isla: You think I’m rocking the boat?

Derrick: Yes.

Isla: That’s not what I want, but I’m also confused about how to deal with his desires.

Derrick: Would it be worth talking to Stacey about it? Without your brother there. They are in the same boat.

Isla: Yeah, I guess they are. Thanks, D.

Derrick: Anytime. I hope you had a great birthday.

Isla: I did. So much. And I’m sorry for propositioning you.

Derrick: I’m flattered.

Isla: To be fair, Finn did say if you weren’t part of the friend group he’d sleep with you.
