I Can't Believe I Like You

Nine

The next morning I walk downstairs to talk to Edith, and to my surprise I see Haley there. I walk up to them with a surprised expression on my face.

"What are you doing here?" I say, when I get to where Haley is standing.

"Nice to see you too" She says sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Well?"

"I'm just here to talk to Edith" She says defensively, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me today" I say, giving her an apologetic look. She smiles and pats my back reassuring me that's it cool. She turns back to Edith and they both share a look.

"What?" I ask them, confused and wanting to know what's going on.

"Nothi-"

"EDITH HAS A BOYFRIEND! EDITH HAS A BOYFRIEND!!" Haley yells, cutting Edith off. I gasp and look at Edith, who blushes and hits Haley on the arm.

"You weren't suppose to tell her yet" Edith says, glaring at Haley.

"Oops" Haley says, innocently looking at Edith and shrugging her shoulders. Edith rolls her eyes and looks back at me.

"So?" I say, emphasizing that I want her to tell me everything.

"Ok, so when we went to the bar and I left you alone, I met a boy on the dance floor and he was really nice and one thing led to another and we had sex and then he gave me his number and we've been talking and he asked me out yesterday and I said yes and he's taking me out on a date tomorrow" Edith explains, trying to catch her breath. My mouth forms an 'O' and I just stare at her.

"WAIT YOU HAD THE SHAME SHAME?! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT!!" Haley exclaims, giving Edith a stern look. Edith just smirks and winks at both of us.

"YOU NAAASSSTTYYY" Haley yells, covering her eyes. "MY POOR INNOCENT MIND! RUINED" Haley yells again, dramatically clutching her chest. I roll my eyes at both of them.

"So, how old is this boy toy of yours?" I ask, nudging her and sending her a wink.

"About that... He's actually 26" She mumbles, busying herself with the papers on her desk.

"WHAT?!" Me and Haley both yell, making an elderly couple look at us before exiting the building.

"YOU'RE A COUGAR TOO?!" Haley exclaims, looking at Edith in disbelief. Edith glares at Haley and sends me a pleading look.

"Chill"

Haley sighs and smiles slyly at Edith and me.

"So when are we meeting this boy??" Haley asks, inching closer towards Edith and signaling me to do the same.

"Yeah when?" I say, stepping closer.

"Um I don't know" Edith answers, oblivious to what's happening. Haley hums in response and stops right next to Edith's phone.

"NOW" I yell and tackle Edith to the ground. She yells in surprise and struggles underneath me as Haley takes her phone.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Edith yells at us, confusion written across her face. Haley scrolls on her phone until we see her click something.

"Hey, do you want to have dinner tonight with some of my friends. They really want to meet you." Haley reads aloud as she types.

"NOO" Edith yells and moves around even more, trying to push me off her.

"HE RESPONDED" Haley yells and suddenly everybody goes quiet as Haley reads the text.

"Sure, what time?" Haley says and looks at me.

"How about 6:30" I tell her, still holding down Edith. She nods and types it out. We wait in silence, until we hear the text-tone go off.

"He said: Awesome. Can't wait to meet them :)"

I let go of Edith and she lunges at Haley, snatching her phone back. Haley lets her because she knows it's too late to change plans. Me and Haley grin evilly at Edith as she glares at us.

"I hate you guys" She says, stomping her foot. Me and Haley laugh and bring Edith into a hug.

"Oh what's his name?"

"Steven"
