Ah, the desperate need to change the subject

"Wasn't that the new girl Alexis asked about once? Winna or something?", asked Matt.

"Yes. And it is Winifred, not Winna."

"Sorry, lover boy. It won't happen again."

Annoying bastard.

"Logan told me he is going on a bussiness trip tomorrow."

"Ah, the desperate need to change the subject. Don't worry my friend, I understand it."

"Matt.", I said warning him.

"Okay, okay. Just don't start throwing your phone at me like Logan does. And to update you. Yes, it was a last minute decision. There is some company he wants to buy and merge with his. You know he wants to get into development of artificial intelligence. The papers need to be signed and he has to be there himself."

"That's good. We have to celebrate the merger when he comes back."

"Of course. Now, let's go out. You promised you'd be my wingman. It's not okey. You left me alone after all the girls we've been through because of the blindness. I feel neglected."

"I don't feel like fucking random girls.", was my answer.

"Ah, but you do feel like fucking Winifred, no? Don't worry she would... Fuck! You idiot! Why did you punch me in the eye? Aren't you supposed to not be precise?"

It did feel good to punch him. Now I understand why Logan throws his phone at him all the time.

"Although, this could help me with the girls..."

"Not if I tell them you have a blackeye because you are an idiot."

He fake-gasped.

"You wouldn't dare."

"If you promise not to say anything about what you saw earlier to Alexis, I won't."

"Damn, man. That bad? What am I missing here?"

"Alexis being Alexis."

"I feel sorry for you, bro. I know her enough to be sure I am glad she is not my sister."

"You have no idea Matt. Now, let's get this over with. I don't plan on making this a long night."

It was almoust two AM and, after having drinks with Matt, I went straight to my room.

"How was your evening?"

"Shit, Lexi!", not again.

"Hello, dear brother.", she said sweetly

"I want the keys I gave you back."

"Not fair, you have all of my keys too."

"I am not kidding Lexi. I don't think I can survive one more sneak-attack. It's three in the morning, were you just brooding here for hours?"

"No, you idiot. I was studying."

"And you couldn't have done it in your room?", I asked after I had sat in one of the armchairs.

"Of course I could have. I just wanted to do it here."

"It's to late for this, sis. What do you want?"

"Well, now that you have finally asked, a little bird sent me a text saying you have been caught with a lovely girl this evening and you specifically warned the sweet bird not to say anything to me."

"I will kill Matt."

"I never said anything about it being Matt.", she said sarcastically.

"Fine, I will kill the bird."
