"Okay Pete, I need you to repeat that shit slowly." Benny stared at me with a dumbfounded look as I told him Sandra and I are together. At first, I found it funny though now I was beginning to feel offended. I get that I wasn't a relationship guy then, but couldn't he see how much I've changed?
"I have a girlfriend," I repeated staring at him in irritation. Again, Benny scratched his head and looked astonished.
"Well damn, good for you man." I could tell he didn't know if he was congratulating me or assuring me. I decided to take it as a congratulation and smiled lightly. Just as I thought our conversation about my new relationship was over, he began questioning me about how far I had gotten with Sandra. We usually told each other all about our hookups, but this time I couldn't find it in me to speak about anything. Sandra wasn't a hookup, she was my girl. Plus even if I decided to confide, there wasn't much to say.
"I'm not gonna talk about that with you. It's fucking weird." Benny furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head in disbelief. He wanted to say something, then sighed and decided to drop it, which I silently appreciated. I hated arguing with him, but I've realized the reason for it.
He was still in the state of mind I had grown out of.
"Let's go to the bar tonight. I haven't hung out with you in ages." I was going to tell him to give me time to think about it because I wanted to check in with Sandra to see if she had any plans for us, but I stopped myself. I could already see him getting easily pissed off.
"For sure, what time?" I hoped it was late, so I could still manage to hang out with Sandra.
"Eleven, so you can see your girl before we go." I chuckled as Benny threw me a wink. It was relieving to know he still understands me like before. Our friendship thankfully hasn't gone to complete shit.

I was finally back on schedule. I had just finished my afternoon class, so I was on my way to get Sandra. I couldn't wait to kiss and hold her. As I entered the lobby I remembered that I still hadn't made my status with Sandra clear to the beefy idiot. I could already picture the asshole still shooting his shot with my Sandra when I wasn't around. I groaned once in the elevator imagining his sleazy hands all over her.
