Love and Friendship

Thirty Five

Nathan POV

When the girls left, Tony turned to me.

Tony: You slept with my sister?!

He stated calmly.

Nathan: Yes. Are you mad?

Tony: Im not happy but it is her choice. Just please dont hurt her Nate. She does love you very much.

Nathan: I wont. I promise.

Tony nodded.

Tony: So game time?

Selena POV

They were talking and laughing. None of them felt tired yet. They were trying to make up for the lost time when I was away. I do miss this. Having girl friends to chat with.

"I really miss you girls. Im sorry for causing so much trouble for you. I didnt mean to."

Ava: Its ok Sel. Its over.

"Thank you for taking care of Tony, Ava. It helps a lot to have you there."

Ava: He is a wreck but I love spending time with him so it is a bonus for me to move in.

"Oh ya. Now we are like housemates right?"

Ava: You betcha.

"Anyway Ginny, I wanted to ask your brother but Im not sure how. With all this new arrangement, how about Ashley and the marriage? Have you heard about her?"

Ginny: No actually. She has been surprisingly quiet. She didnt even looked for Nathan the entire time you were away. I guess she thought she have it easier now that you are out of the picture.

"I hope she doesnt try anything stupid now."

Ginny: I doubt it. Daddy will be meeting her father to cancel the marriage soon and that they will have to think of another way for their businesses.

Ava: Oh anyway Im curious. What exactly does your family do?

Ginny: If I tell you, Im gonna have to kill you.

Ava looked shocked.

Ginny laughed.

Ginny: No silly. But Im not allowed to say. On the surface, we have a construction business dealing with mega projects.

Ava: I see. Well that is not too bad right? Big bucks.

Ginny shrugged dropping the subject.

"So anyway Ginny, how are things with Tyler?"

A brief introduction about Tyler: He is the son of Mark Walker, CEO of a hotel empire. Apparently, they met at a club and hit it off. They have been spending time together but nothing serious. However, the girls knew that Ginny, who doesnt settle down, likes Tyler a lot.

Ginny blushed.

Ginny: Oh you know. Like that.

"So do we get to meet him? This loverboy who has your tongue."

She threw a pillow at me and we rolled on the floor laughing.

"How did your brother take it when you told him?"

Ginny: He didnt say much but I did speak to him about it when you were away. I guess he was preoccupied with his thoughts of you to worry much about me. He hasnt met Tyler yet officially but he knows him.

"Oh. Maybe Ill ask him about it tomorrow. You can bring Tyler down to meet us."

Ginny: Sure. Ill ask him.

They talked till about 3 in the morning before hitting the sack.

Leo POV

I was sitting by the pool sipping my drink after the boys decide to turn in.

So much things had happened.

6 months ago, I didnt even know Selena. I was fooling around with girls having fun. Now, I havent gone on any date with a girl in a while let alone sleeping with any.

My mind wandered to how it would be if I met her first. Would she go for me? Would she be mine?

Nathan: Can I join you?

I looked up to see Nathan with a can in his hand and nodded.

Nathan: What are you thinking about?

"What do you mean?"

Nathan: You looked deep in thought.

"Oh nothing much."

Nathan: Thinking about her?

"Always."

Nathan: She told me about the kiss.

I turned to look at him surprised.

Nathan: Accidentally of course. She thought I already knew seeing that we fought in Japan.

I was silent. I didnt know how to answer him. I dont regret it but I know it was wrong of me.

Nathan: I was furious of course but now that I think about it, I understood why you did it.

I stared at him confused.

Nathan: We are best friends and we are in love with the same person. Funny isnt it. I admire you sticking by knowing that she loves me. It is really noble of you. Im not sure I could do the same. You are really amazing Leo. I really do treasure you a lot.

"I must admit it is not easy. But looking at her happy made me happy for some reason. Even if it is with you."

Nathan: I hope you could find in your heart to open it to someone else. Selena and I dont want to lose you as a friend. We care for you. We also want you to find someone who can love and cherish you.

"I dont know. Im taking it a step at a time. We will see what happens."

They chatted a while more before deciding to turn in.
