pregnant?” I quip dryly.
    “Haha, just listen,” Nikki says sternly. “I’m going to move in with Lee.” she says with grave censure. I don’t know why she thinks I’m going to freak out. I roll my eyes.
    “That’s great. I figured this was coming soon. You and Lee are made for each other. I talked to Abby last night by the way. I think we might finally be able to smooth things over. I know I was a total skank bitch before they got together, but obviously you and Lee are going to get married and Abby’s going to marry Ethan, so we’re practically all family.”
    “I’m so glad to hear that. I thought it might freak you out that I’m wifeing up like this. It’s a big step, I know, but I seriously love her so much. I can’t imagine life without her.” Nikki’s face lights up whenever she talks about Lee and I’m genuinely happy for her. I just wish I knew why I feel so damn jealous.
    “No I’m happy for you. I guess I’ll have to find a roommate now.” I scrunch my nose at the idea. Maybe I can just pick up extra hours at the bar I work at to cover the full rent myself.
    “I love you sis,” Nikki says giving me a bear hug. “I’ve gotta go, but there’s a note on your coffee table from your non-fuck buddy.” she winks at me before heading out. A giddy feeling erupts in my stomach as I sprint for the note that Dex left for me.
Remy,
I am Jack’s sincerest hope that you’ll give me a call. I put my number in your phone.
~Dex
p.s. see you Tuesday for tutoring
    I grab my phone and search for Dex but I don’t find him. Confused I open up my list of contacts and scroll down. I can’t help but smile when I find a contact labeled ‘sexy cowboy’. I consider sending him a text but hesitate. What if Nikki is right and he does have a girlfriend? And if he doesn’t have a girlfriend what kind of game is he trying to play? I couldn’t have made it any easier on him to jump me, so why would he turn me down just to be cute and flirtatious? Isn’t the point of flirting to get someone into bed? I decide I’m too confused to send him a text, I’ll just see him Tuesday.
    I grab my art supplies and hunker down on the couch to forget Dex. Of course, I end up drawing ten different charcoal pictures of him. His lips, his muscles, his lips again. I am so fucked.

Dex
    I check my phone every five minutes all day hoping for a text from Remy. I don’t know if I’m more surprised or disappointed when one doesn’t come.
    “I can’t tell if you zelous checking of your phone means things went well with Remy or went terribly?” Asher say, a knowing grin on his face as he tosses me a PlayStation controller and keeps one for himself.
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I lie smoothly.
    “Oh please, Dex I’ve known you for three years now and I’ve never seen you check your phone this many times in one day.”
    “Shut up,” I snap.
    “Oh man, you must have it bad,” he laughs.
    “Look who’s talking,” I shake my head. “Tell me again why you’re at home playing video games instead of out whoring around like you normal? Doesn’t have anything to do with the cute blond from the bar last night would it? Eden was it?” I taunt. Warning Asher away from her is still leaving a bad taste in my mouth, if I’m being honest.
    “Her name is Eve,” he bristles.
    I smirk and he gives me the finger before starting our game up.

    After kicking Asher’s ass at Call of Duty for a solid two hours, I head to my bedroom. I pull my phone out once more and hit the Skype icon. My mom’s face instantly fills the screen smiling brightly.
    “Dexter, I’m so glad you called.” My mom is the only one allowed to call me Dexter. “Maya has been asking about you all day.”
    “Daddy! Daddy!” I chuckle as the image on the screen blurs and then her face appears. My perfect little angel. She has white blond hair like her mother but she got stuck with my brown eyes, and a perfect little button nose.
    “Hey
