Chapter 328 Chapter 328 After Hayden left, I took a quick shower, then flopped onto my bed and grabbed my phone.
Lena had senta message with a picture of Yuna, fast asleep, along with a little note: [Yuna is safe.] Of course she knew I'd be freaking out until I knew for sure.
I shot back a quick reply. [Thanks for looking out for her] Almost immediately, Lena's video call lit my screen Girl had definitely been waiting forto respond..
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI grinned, figuring she was dying to spill a e details about her finally making it official with her long-tcrush. I swiped to answer, and there she was-lounging in her chair, practically glowing. Like, I could feel her happiness through the screen.
I clicked my tongue playfully. "Whoa, someone's got that post-love confession glow. You're shining, girl." Lena chuckled. "You're being so extra right now." Jdidn't bother with small talk. I was still thinking about how she kept Nate on edge for so long. "You know exactly how to play a guy, don't you?" "Do I?" she said, pretending to be all innocent.
"Puh-lease. Stop with the 'do I? act. You know what you're doing," I teased.
Her grin said it all. She wasn't fooling anyone. I thought back to when I heard Nate confessing his feelings, both of them totally clueless about their mutual crush, Lena, I swear, when I heard Nate say he liked you, I was this close to fist-pumping the air. I legit thought you'd jump into his arms right there!" Lena laughed. "But I didn't, did I?" "Yeah, and you totally caughtoff guard!" I teased back. "Were you just too stunned to move?" She smirked. "Oh, I was excited alright, but I kept it cool on purpose." I snorted. "Wow, so strategic.
"You could say that," Lena shrugged, then her tone softened. "Rea, I've liked him forever, but like I told you, I wasn't gonna lose myself over it. I didn't want him thinking his feelings were sgrand favor or something." Her words hit me. She'd said the sthing when I was going through stuff with Jace, tellingI hadn't kept things balanced. For someone new to the whole love thing, she sure knew how to handle herself. "You're a total pro, Lsaid, giving her a thumbs-up.
"This is pro level?" Lena scoffed, acting all casual.
I mimicked her voice from when she and Nate finally got together, "Nate, I'm hungry." Lena burst into laughter. "Was I really that cute?" I pretended to shiver. "Girl, you were so sweet, I felt my bones melting. Seriously, you've got it down-chill 12 X Research flea treatment for dogs Sponsored: Search Ads Read Next Story > +25 BONUS Chapter 328 when you need to be, but soft when it counts." "Isn't that what guys like?" she said, and her casual comment hit harder than I expected. Here I was, ten years of unrequited love and four years of failure, and Lena was just out here dropping wisdom like it was nothing.
"I surrender. You're the master. From now on, I'll call you love guru," I said, still feeling kind of impressed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLena laughed lightly. "Why are you halone? Where's Hayden?" "Oh, he went back to his place," I answered casually.
Lena raised her eyebrows, givinga knowing look. "Letguess... Aunt Flo's in town? I grinned. "Nice try, but nope. Her hubl re too, and they're both on vacation."
That had Lena cracking up, her laughter contagious. I couldn't help. but join in. But after a second, I nudged her. "Okay, enough om stalling-spill the tea. What happened after you told Nate you were hungry? Did he, uh... satisfy your needs?" I threw in sobvious innuendo.
Lena didn't miss a beat. "I'll leave that part to your imagination." Con! Besties don't hold out on each other!" I teased, pushing for more details.
She snorted. "Even besties have limits. Sthings are off-limits."
"Okay, fine. But there's something I do need to tell you." I suddenly m remembered the weird guy I'd seen outside her office earlier. It had been buggingever since. The content on novelenglish.net! Read the latest hapter there!
