Just Between Us #Wattys2019

On Wednesdays We Talk Dirty

"I think Magnus looks like he's fun," I said. "In fact, he looks like he's just fun." I muttered.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Cleo asked.

"Nothing. He's fine." I answered.

"Fine?" Harley asked.

"To be fair, we didn't really get the chance to meet him. We didn't really talk." Finn added. I agreed.

"Okay. On to the next. What did you guys think about Baby?" I asked.

"I like him." Said Finn.

"Scorpio, what did you think?" I wondered.

"I loved the guy." He admitted. "I can see why you like him."

"I didn't really talk to him but I think he seemed cool," said Benjamin nonchalantly, who was making a Wednesday night appearance for only the third time this year.

"He is sooo handsome." Bennet said. I giggled.

Arcadia agreed with Bennet's verdict with a "uuuuuuhuuummm, girl!", a duck face and a hair flip.

Harley said he looked very mature: Very "my type".

I looked at Cleo, waiting for her opinion.

I waited as the suspense grew stronger.

We all stared at her.

She sighed, "He's great." She answered. "Could work on loosening up a bit but he's British. I get it. We'll work on it."

My excited lips grew so extremely in dimension that my cheeks started getting numb from the smile.

"I think Ivy could work, too." I told her. "If you really like her, I can make it work."

She smiled, stood up, and hugged me. We were back.

"Now, back to business!" Harley commanded. "Bennet, who did you choose?"

I engaged in an intense look with Finn, who secretly competed for the answer with me. Even though I was sure she'd choose my guy Tris, I still wanted to do my victory dance party in the faces of all of the girls.

Bennet's shoulders rouse to her cheeks as she shyly prepared to give us an answer. "River!" She stated.

"What?!" I let out.

Finn and Scorpio both simultaneously jumped out of their chairs and exaggeratedly hugged— as if they were were being rescued from a ship wreck and being nominated for an Oscar at the same time.

"WE DID IT HONEY." Finn told him.

He pretended to cry. "WE FUCKING MADE IT."

The rest of the girls laughed, but I demanded a good reason.

"Why?? Why River?? Tris is perfect!"

Bennet shrugged. "Tris is wonderful, but River is just what a need." She revealed.

I rolled my eyes at the cute answer and sighed sharply at my loss.

After that, the pizza arrived and we dove right into it.

I was on my third piece when I decided I would tell them what I had been holding on to since Saturday.

"Okay, guys, there's this thing, and it's kind of a big deal, but I don't want you to freak out." I said to them.

"Could you be any more vague?" Cleo asked.

"I smell Baby..." Scorpio said in a sing-songy voice.
