You're not supposed to agree asshole.
BENJI
Can't help that it's the truth.
What's the problem?
JAXON
Question, what do you do when you get a sexy pic of your fake girlfriend?
BENJI
What?
JAXON
Pic came from Nerissa.
I have no idea what that means but fucking hell.
Is staring at it for 23 minutes an option?
Because I can't close this picture to save my fucking life.
A pause stretched before he responded.
BENJI
Jax.
I could hear his scolding voice in my head.
JAXON
I wanna go see her.
Scratch that—it's more of a need now.
BENJI
Don’t.
You know what the deal is.
Don't complicate it.
Go to bed.
I leaned back against the couch, staring at the ceiling.
JAXON
Bro, did you not see the need part of my message?
