any of those girls would be Sunny. And even then, friend seems to be too strong of a word. I had her back and she had mine, but that’s it. Look, Presley, I’m not trying to open a new can of worms here.”
    “ I guess I see your point.”
    “ That’s all I wanted. I’m sorry for blowing up at you.” I give her a short and sweet kiss. “Are we okay now?”
    “ Yeah and I’m sorry for throwing numbers in your face. Sorry for the whole thing, really. I was maybe just a little jealous over Allie.”
    I dip my head and nibble on her neck. “Who?” My girl laughs, bringing out a smile from me. “Let’s skate, Smarty.”
    While we exchange our shoes for a pair of skates, Presley keeps talking, worried.
    “ Are you sure this is safe? I mean, what if we fall in?”
    “ If it wasn’t safe, I wouldn’t let you be out there, Presley.”
    “ Let’s do this then.”
    I can’t help my grin as she props her hands on her hips, looking a little excited, but a little nervous too. Without waiting for her, I skate onto the ice and then around a few times. Holding out my arms, I say, “See? Completely safe!” I glide to a stop in front of her, that beautiful smile taking my breath away as I take her hands and lead her onto the ice with me. She’s a little wobbly at first, trying to get used to the difference, but soon we’re skating along, enjoying ourselves.

    "Okay, let me understand what you're saying. You went on a date with my twin brother?" I'm taken aback when Marley, who's sitting across from me, tells me Trevor and she went out last night.
    "Are you mad?" Marley asks quietly.
    "I'm not sure what I'm feeling. I’m happy and confused. Are you happy?" A huge grin comes across her face, and I don't think I've ever seen her eyes light up like that before.  "Well, as long as you two are happy then I am."
    Marley leaps up and hugs me. "I was so worried."
    "Don’t be worried. I’m just a little shocked, but enough of that nonsense." I wave her off. "Tell me everything, just leave out the sex. " Marley tells me how she's liked Trevor for a long time and with tutoring him, they've become close. Finally, he asked her out. They had dinner and a great night together, and she didn’t even mention sex.
    “ I didn’t realize that you liked Trevor for that long.”
    Marley nods.
    "Well then, I'm so happy for you."
    "Who are we happy for?" Levi and Trevor sit down at the table with us.
    "Trevor and Marley are dating." I smile at Levi.
    "I already figured that out." Levi grabs a fry from my plate.
    "You did? When?" Trevor asks confused.
    "That night we all went to dinner with your parents. Your mouth dropped open and drool was everywhere when you saw her."
    "Shut up, Carr." Trevor puts his arm around Marley. I can see that they are both looking very happy. So, I'm so happy for him and her.
    "How are things with your parents?" Marley asks
    "Okay, I guess." In reality, we've only talked a couple times since that night I blew up at them. Our conversations have been short and to the point.
    "Let's talk about something fun." Trevor waves the waiter down and changes the topic. He must realize that I don’t want to talk about it.
    "How about we discuss spring break." Levi hops into the conversation.
    “ Yes, let’s talk about that.” Marley claps excited. “Where are we going?”
    “ Well, Trevor and I were talking-,” Levi starts.
    “ Woah,” I interrupt him. “Trevor and you ?” I look between them both.
    “ Easy, Smarty. We’re not exchanging friendship bracelets or anything.” We all bust out laughing at the table.
    “ Fine. Where are we going?” I ask.
    After we all discussed our own ideas, we came up with flying down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. None of us had been there before and the flights seemed cheaper than other places. We talk a bit longer, eat some food, and then we head our separate ways. 
    Standing outside my car, Levi wraps me in his arms. There is
