talk about dudes having sex without getting a little uncomfortable. I’m not really great at talking about straight sex like an adult, if we’re being honest,” he said and Ben had to give him that. Ben decided he was cool with this. Michelle chewed her lip as she glared at Jason.
“Fine. But if you want to keep doing filthy things with me, you’re going to have to get over it,” she demanded and he nodded emphatically.
“I promise, I’ll work on it,” he swore and she waved angrily.
“Whatever. That’s not the point! Ben’s going to fall in love with Landon and he’s leaving!” She said loudly and Ben shook his head.
“I’m not going to fall in love with him, it was just one night,” he pointed out and she snorted.
“Ha! You’re definitely going to see him again. He’s going to call you and you won’t say no,” she said and Ben tried to look confident when he shrugged.
“I might, or I might not,” he mumbled as he straightened the fringe on the pillow.
“Bullshit, Ben!” She yelled and his brows rose. “I was there this morning. You two were stupid hot together and you were both so happy! You’re going to keep seeing him and you’re going to fall in love,” she warned. “If you haven’t already.” Michelle turned back to Jason. “Look at what you’ve done! He’s going to get his heart broken,” she said and Jason’s brows pulled together.
“You don’t know that. What if they don’t last more than a few dates?” He asked and she gave him a bland look.
“You weren’t there. They looked like they’ve been together forever and he was making naked coffee,” she said dryly and Jason pushed a hand through his hair.
“Ok. Maybe they keep dating and Landon decides not to go?” Jason offered and both Michelle and Ben shook their heads. She sighed heavily.
“I’m not really sure but I think that PixelWorks is a pretty big deal. It’s up there with Disney if you do that kind of stuff,” she said and Jason nodded slowly. “Let’s be real, who would pass up an opportunity like that for someone they’ve only known for a few months?” Michelle asked and Jason’s shoulders sagged. Ben swallowed past the knot in his throat.
“I wouldn’t want him to. I’m sure he’s worked really hard and that’s probably something he’s wanted for a long time,” he mumbled and Jason exhaled loudly as he sank into an armchair.
“Since he was a kid. He’s always talked about working at PixelWorks and he’s so talented,” Jason said and Ben clenched his jaw as his stomach twisted. Then, Jason sat up and pointed wildly at Ben. “What if you moved to California?” He said before he smiled up at Michelle. An ear-piercing shriek filled the room and Ben jumped when the pillow was snatched from him.
“Are you trying to ruin all of our lives?” She screamed as she whipped the pillow at Jason. “I can’t live without Ben! Did you think about that?” Michelle asked. Jason covered his face with his hands and groaned again.
“I’m sorry!” He cried and Michelle pointed at him.
“You had better hope that this works out. Because if my brother moves to California, I have to go too. And I hate California,” she declared. “And you’ll have to move too because I’m not leaving you and you’re going to have to suffer with me,” she insisted and he nodded behind his hands. She threw her hands up then stormed out of the room. Ben stared after her for several moments before he looked back at Jason. He was peeking through his fingers.
“Would you move to California?” Ben asked and Jason sighed as he sat up straight.
“For her?” He asked as he stared in the direction of her room. He nodded. “Absolutely,” Jason said and Ben felt a soft smile tilt his lips as warmth filled his chest. He really wanted Michelle and Jason to work. Jason leaned and rested his elbows on his knees. “Would you move to California for him?” He asked and Ben didn’t hesitate to shake his
