"So, are we going to the party or not?" Benny asked for the millionth time. After punching him, I thought mentioning a party would cheer him up. It did until I told him it was for Paola's boyfriend. He immediately tensed at Paola's new relationship status. I knew it couldn't be because he had developed feelings for her; it was probably his ego deflating at the thought that she had moved on from him so fast.
"I don't know. If we go, I should probably invite Selena." Though I had admitted out loud that I was infatuated with Sandra I refused to act on it. I still believed Selena could help me get over her. Benny was doubtful, he insisted that I had to hook up with Sandra to fully get over whatever it was I was feeling. For him, sex was always the answer.
"Invite her then, I wanna see Sandi get jealous." I scowled at the nickname he used for Sandra. I knew Paola used it, but the way Benny said it made me angry.
"She won't get jealous," I assured hoping I was right.
"Fine let's make a bet. If she shows any signs of jealousy you have to kiss her tonight. If I'm wrong and she gives zero fucks about Selena, I'll do whatever you want." Benny seemed really sure of himself for someone who just found out there was something between Sandra and me, but bets were messy, something always went wrong. If I felt like kissing Sandra, I'd do it because I want to not because I lost a bet.
"No. I don't do bets," I stated. It was currently six and the party started at seven. If I was going to invite Selena I had to do it now. First, I had to weigh my options, if I took Selena any chance of doing anything with Sandra flew out the window. If I didn't take Selena the possibilities were endless.
It was if I had been given a sign when my phone went off. Selena's name displayed on the screen with a selfie she took on my phone when we went on the date. Benny chuckled behind me realizing I had no choice now.
"This is going to be fun." He whispered.

Selena was ecstatic when I invited her to the party. I almost felt guilty knowing I didn't want her to go. "I'm counting this as our second date, Peter." She whispered into my ear before planting a kiss on my cheek. She had gotten extremely affectionate and I didn't know how much more of it I could take.
