“You can’t be serious right now. Please tell me you’re lying,” Gregg demanded, the shock still very obvious across his face and I averted my gaze and let out a long sigh. I knew this was gonna be his exact reaction and that’s why it took me this long to tell him. He hated Marco so much and that was very evident.

“I’m not lying, we’re really dating.” I muttered as I met his gaze again and he let out another sound of disbelief before he flopped back in his seat and chugged down most of his beer, already looking so stressed

out.

“Are you aware of this as well?” Gregg asked Zane this time and I glanced sideways to see Zane shrugged easily.

“I am, but it doesn’t mean I approve. She’s aware I think she deserves better than that.” He revealed and I felt myself flush to the roots of my hair while feeling the urge to instantly defend Marco like I usually do, but no sound left my mouth right now.

“Thank you!” Gregg cried out before glancing over at me.

“How did this happen? You promised me you were gonna move on.” He accused me and I sighed before leaning forward.

“Stop being so dramatic, Gregg. We got together, so what? It’s not a big deal.” I demanded and Gregg let out a laugh before narrowing his eyes at me.

“Oh, don’t give me that, Addison. You paused your life for him after he broke your heart. You couldn’t move on for years. Are you forgetting that you were always crying in my arms back then? How could you ever forgive him?” He demanded before adding. “I’m actually mad at you right now, and very disappointed. You made me believe you actually moved on at the wedding! Was that a lie? You told me you hooked up with someone, and lost your v–card. Please tell me you didn’t lose that to that asshole Marco.”

This time, I stiffened and my face instantly flamed up as I awkwardly cleared my throat while shaking my head. “I- I didn’t lie! I really did hook up with someone else!” I argued but his eyes narrowed as he regarded

me.

“Now I find that hard to believe. Didn’t you two exchange numbers? Wasn’t the person interested in something more that you had to return to your asshole ex?” He demanded and my face flushed again as I dragged a hand through my hair while silently wishing Zane wasn’t here right now when I was having a conversation like this with my best friend.
