Daniel's P. O. V.

I went inside and sat on the couch.

I can't believe I just lied to Renée. But what else was I supposed to do? Confess my feelings for her right then and there? No way. There's no way she feels the same, anyway.

I went and peeled the prosthetic stuff off my neck, then got into the shower to wash off all the makeup. I got out and put some sweats on and a t-shirt.

I heard the front door open and assumed Zach was home. I walked out and saw him setting a bag of food down on the coffee table.

"Hey, I got chipotle for us," he said once he noticed me.

"Thanks." I went and sat down next to him, pulling out my food.

"I'm really sorry man."

"It's fine." I fake smiled.

"No, it's not. I should've asked you first-"

"She's not my property. You can do whatever you want. I just wish you would've told me." I shrugged.

"You sure that's all you're mad about?" He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"If you just wanted us to be honest, I don't think you would've ran out like you would."

"So what are you saying?" I asked.

"Do you have feelings for Renée?"

"What? We're best friends, no way." I chuckled.

"Daniel it's not a bad thing if you do."

"I know. And how couldn't I? She's amazing."

"I'm sorry. I never realized it until tonight."

"It's fine. It's not like she feels the same anyway."

"Yeah, but maybe she would if I wasn't...distracting her." We both chuckled.

"So you were really only in it for sex?" I asked.

"Like you said, she's amazing, but you know I'm not a relationship guy. I just thought she was hot and turns out she's great in bed, too."

"Yeah, I don't know if I can handle you talking about her like that." I shook my head.

"Don't worry, I won't. And it's over now. So put on that Daniel charm."

"What do you think I've been doing for the past four months?" I laughed.

"Jus keep doing what you're doing. If she doesn't fall for you, she's crazy."

"Thanks man."

"Of course." I leaned over and we hugged.
