"Used me as a reason? What do you mean? Can you be straightforward here?"
I see him sigh before he answers me. "I'm sorry, purplany. I couldn't find a way to invite her, and because I was anxious, I ended up saying things I shouldn't have said."
Things he shouldn't have said? What are those things? Why do I feel like I wouldn't like what Rufus will say after?
"I said that you refused to come with me for the dinner dat—"
I immediately raised my hands to stop him from talking. "Wait! Why am I suddenly involved here? And what do you mean by I refused to come with you for the dinner date? Rufus, are you dumb? Sorry for the word, but why would you mention something like that in front of someone you like? You really messed up, Rufus."
I shake my head at him. I really don't understand why he would say something like that to the person he likes.
