much fairer. After a few minutes of chatting, though, I realized that the similarities died with the muscles. He was as dumb as a post.
    “So then I told him, dude, you have to eat the ice cream really fast for that to happen,” Tony wrapped up his really long story happily. “That’s the only way you get that cool brain freeze thing.”
    “That’s a great story,” Brittany smiled dreamily, hanging on every word from Tony’s mouth. “You should write that one down.”
    Tony looked confused. “I guess.”
    I glanced at Aric tiredly. “You want to get some air?”
    “Sounds like a good idea,” Aric agreed, grabbing my hand and leading me in the direction of the balcony.
    Once we were outside, I turned to Aric questioningly . “So, how good of a friend is Tony?”
    Aric looked nonplussed. “I didn’t say he was a g reat thinker. He’s just a good workout buddy.”
    “He’s a little ... different.”
    “Different isn’t always bad,” Aric hedged.
    “I agree. If I’m keeping you from getting a good ice cream buzz, I apologize.”
    Aric smirked. “So much for happier Zoe.”
    “I am happy,” I pouted.
    “Yeah, that was obvious by the look you had on your face when Tony was telling his story.”
    “And what look is that?”
    “The one where you wished you had a rock to bash into his head.”
    “I was thinking more along the lines of a baseball bat,” I replied simply. “However, a rock would do, too.”
    Aric smiled and leaned in to kiss me. He didn’t mak e it the whole way, though. We were interrupted by a shriek that sent shivers down my spine it was so shrill.
    “Aric! Omigod! You’re here! I can’t believe it’s really you!”
    I turned as a wall of dark hair and big boobs pushed me out of the way and threw itself on Aric. For his part, he seemed surprised – but not annoyed – which immediately put me on edge.
    “Jessica, hey,” Aric said, giving the girl a quick hug a nd then taking a step back. “I can’t believe you’re here.”
    “I can’t believe you’re here,” the girl, Jessica, purre d as she sidled up to Aric and plastered herself against his chest. “I’ve missed you so much.”
    Aric met my gaze over Jessica’s head and uncomforta bly pushed her away. “Um, it’s great to see you, too,” he said finally.
    Jessica looked confused. “You don’t seem happy to se e me.” It was almost as though she couldn’t believe anyone wouldn’t fall at her feet because she deigned to bless them with her presence.
    “It’s not that,” Aric said hurriedly. “It’s just that ... um, have you met Zoe?” Aric took a step back in my direction, sliding his arm around my shoulders and pulling me in tight at his side.
    Jessica frowned. I returned the facial expression as she looked me up and down. “I don’t believe I’ve had the honor,” Jessica said finally, although she said the word honor like I would say the phrase cow poop. “I’m Jessica.”
    “Zoe,” I said blankly, shifting slightly under Aric’s heavy arm.
    “So, you guys are a couple?” Jessica asked. I could feel her looking me up and down, trying to sum me up. She didn’t look thrilled with the outcome of the equation.
    I opened my mouth to utter my usual response and then froze when Aric answered for me. “We are,” he said. “A happy, happy couple.”
    “Since when?” Jessica narrowed her brown eyes s uspiciously, shifting her gaze between the two of us.
    “Why do you care?” I asked pointedly.
    Jessica ignored me, though. “For how long?” she asked Aric directly again, as though I had suddenly been rendered invisible.
    “Since May,” Aric replied. “A whole blissful summer. ” I had no idea whether he was trying to press that point on Jessica or me.
    “Really?” Jessica looked surprised. “That’s like fou r months. I thought you were a month-long type of guy? Isn’t that what you told me?”
    I glanced up at Aric curiously. He seemed uncomf ortable with Jessica’s line of
