past year.
“Have you two made up over there? Because if I hear Jay apologize one more time I may shove him into oncoming traffic,” Nathan said from across the table.
“Yes , all is well. We are going to be friends and Jay can ask out anyone he wants to , whenever he wants to.” I replied. Nathan studied Jay for a moment with a concerned look on his face, and then forced a smile.
“If y’all are okay with that set up , then we are too.”
Miranda nodded,” Yep. Sounds like a good plan. Besides, Pagan has a date with Dank Walker Friday night . He gave her backstage passes to his concert. And he’s letting me in too.”
“How did you know about that?” I hadn’t said anything to her about it yet.
She shrugged, “Gee told me.”
Figures. Gee was making sure I came. She’d already figured out Miranda got me to do things I didn’t want to. After, tonight though, I really did want to go. Dank Walker didn’t seem like such a bad decision after being out with a “ normal , nice” guy . At least when I was with Dank he acted like I was the only person around.
“Did you just meet him last night at the club?” Jay asked with a scowl on his face.
“No. He picked up her shoes when we got here yesterday. She dropped a whole box of shoes in the street . H e got of f his big bad motorcycle and came pick ed them up and carrie d them to her room. I think he’ s stalking her.” Miranda wiggled her eyebrows.
“His band isn’t known f or their good reputation. They’ re rowdy and they get into trouble. Hanging around him isn’t safe, Pagan.” Jay didn’t sound convincing.
“So far he’s been nothing but nice, polite , and very attentive,” I replied as I scooted out of my seat. I wasn’t going to be put in the position of defend ing Dank to Jay. That was ridiculous.
“The important thing here is my best friend is dating the lead singer of Cold Soul and I have backstage passes. Let’s not get off topic,” Miranda chimed in. Nathan didn’t look real thrilled with this either. Now b oth of them were scowling. A little jealousy would be good for Nathan. Miranda was making it seem too easy.
“Why did he give you tickets backstage?” Nathan asked as he reached for Miranda’s hand.
“Because he knew Pagan wouldn’t go without me ,” she replied. She was also very right. I wouldn’t brave that scene if she wasn’t beside me.
“Hmmm,” was Nathan ’s only response. Poor guy. He wanted to protest and knew he had no right becaus e h e ’d just met her.
“So, what movie are we going to see?” I asked to change the subject.
“Well I was gonna suggest an action movie since there are several out I ’d like to see , but after hearing that y’all are gonna be hanging out with a rock band later this week I feel the need to step up my game. So whatever romance you want to see I’m willing.” Nathan replied.
Miranda laughed, “Oh , you’re in luck. I’ve seen the only romance out right now. It sucked.”
“Thank God,” Jay sighed dramatically.
“Action movie it is then,” Nathan announced.
Dank
I sat on the edge of Pagan’s bed and glance d at the clock for the hundredth time in the span of ten minutes. “How long has she been gone?” I asked Gee
