Unexpected Perfection

{Ayah}

"So, what do you think about Mason's roommate?"
Ivory asks casually the minute he leaves.

I frown.

"Hm. Nothing, why?"

She shares a look with India.

"You don't think he's cute or anything?"
She prompts.

I roll my eyes.

"Mason said you guys didn't only talk about men."
I complain, folding my arms.

"We don't, we talk about other things too. Like space themed boxers."
Ivory snickers.

I can't help but giggle as well.

Theo's boxers were pretty cute.

"I don't know anything about him."
I say reluctantly when they don't say anything else.

"Wasn't he in the army? That's hot."
India says.

"Yeah, sure."

I am very distracted.

Mason left to go grab a few supplies that he coincidentally forgot at the store.

It was his idea to do something spontaneous and join this lame arts and crafts group, I can't believe he flaked on me like that!

"You and him would make a cute couple, you know."
Ivory hints.

I immediately scoff.

"No way. Why would you even say that?"
I lean forward and hiss.

Damnit, now the thought is in my head.

It is true that I don't know anything about Theo except that he's kind of weird. More like....stoic.

But he has a few great qualities. I think.

Mason sure does talk about him a lot so I'm guessing that he's a good friend.

Definitely so because Mason has a high bar when it comes to levels of friendship and Theo's at the top.

"What? It's just a thought."
India snickers.

I immediately narrow my eyes.

"Did Mason's weird ass put you guys up to this? I can't believe it!"
I fold my arms.

"Calm down, all he did was mention that you were single and Theo's single so..."
She trails off.

"All things considered, I didn't lie. You guys would look cute together."
Ivory shrugs, leaning back in her chair.

I sip my mimosa absentmindedly, cringing at the memory of the last man I let into my head.
Yeah, that didn't end well.
