Chapter 6
Lily was usually all sunshine and confidence, so her hesitation threw me off. "What's up? Spill it."
"Promise you won't get mad, Big Pervert?" she asked, her voice a bit shaky.
"Yeah, I promise." My gut was already doing flips.
"Seriously, promise? Okay, so, I'm back at my place. Some classmates are coming over for dinner, and... John might be joining us," lily said. "What?" I blurted out, Jack's name hitting me like a ton of bricks.
"Are you okay with that? Should I call it off?" Lily mumbled.
"No, it's not that." My brain was a mess. I wasn't thrilled, that's for sure. I liked to think of lily as being all mine, and the idea of her hanging out with her ex rubbed me the wrong way. But lily was always upfront, and she'd have her classmates around, so it should be fine. Still, it was her ex. was there something she wasn't telling me? I had to trust her. Besides, jack was in Boston and only came back occasionally.
Nothing should happen between them. The more I thought about it, the more tangled my thoughts got.
"So, can they come over tonight?" lily asked, sounding unsure.
"Yeah" I tried to sound chill.
