Chapter 26 - MY! Fallen Angel

"Please, sit down." Tommy moved to sit beside Jordan and motioned to the seat he just got up from.

Colby sat down awkwardly "What did you just call each other?" Colby asked, stunned by what he just heard.

"Angel, my fallen angel." Tommy replied nonchalantly looking at Jordan.

"And that's my smiling palm tree." Jordan pointed at Tommy but was still looking at Colby.

Brady came around with the food for Colby. "Will you two stop flirting? You were texting right up until we went to bed then in the morning you guys called for hours. How am I supposed to explain this to your parents?"

"Wait… are you two dating?" Colby was now more shocked than he was before.

"Not yet, I keep getting rejected." Tommy responded immediately with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Don't worry. Keep trying T, he's bound to cave eventually." Brady was encouraging this conversation and Jordan could do nothing but go with it.

"Will you two stop, this is the first time Colby has come to talk to me in a while. Don't scare him off."

"Don't worry, I won't be scared off. I'm just curious to know as of when you started liking guys."

"It's not about guys or girls. If someone makes you happy or if you're simply attracted to that person, date them or try to. The only thing that stops you is fear."

"Then who should I date?" Colby asked the group. "'Cause the only people who fit that criteria are you three."

"Date Brady then! He's lonely too." Jordan stated casually.

"And jealous of us." Tommy added, while holding Jordan's hand above the table.

Brady got awkward and started blushing. "Anyway it was nice chatting but look at the time we really should be getting to work."

Brady pulls Jordan up from his chair and drags him over to the kitchen. "Dude what the hell?"

"You are never going to be able to date him if the subject is never even brought up."

"Jordan not the point. Now things are going to be hella awkward between us. Or worse what if he just thinks you're joking and completely friendzones me?" Brady was totally freaking out at this point.

"Don't worry about it. Have I ever played with your feelings before?"

"No but if you're serious about me dating Colby, there will probably be a first time."

"Don't you have even an ounce of faith in me in that cold, cold heart of yours?"

"I don't know J. but today you will be the only one serving Colby."

"That's fine, leave Colby to me."

"You seem to be taking this whole Colby thing pretty well..."

"Really? I guess it helps that you and Tommy are with me and leading the conversations."

"So, you and Tommy…?" Brady wiggled his eyebrows at his friend.

"Don't get me wrong… I would but..."

"You're scared, I get it. I am too but you know what? You'll never date him if the subject has never been brought up."

"Okay I deserved that."

"Now to work."

"Okay, okay. I'm going." The boys split ways to get their respective jobs done.

Meanwhile back in the main room, "This is your event, are you going to back out now?"

"No, but do you think he was being serious about me and Brady?"

"Why? Are you interested in him?"

"I don't know how well we'd be together but to be honest, I have thought about it."

"Friendship and dating are always different, there's only one thing I know that's the same about them; you never know when they'll end. So whatever you want to do, do it before it ends."
