“I can’t believe you’d do that. Didn’t you know I was only interested in you back then as well?” Leah said. Her arms were folded underneath her breasts. He couldn’t stop looking at the firm mounds.
“I didn’t like the way the guys stared at you. You’re not a thing to stare out.”
“Yet neither of you asked me to prom?”
Mitch looked at Chase for help.
“We’d fought over you. We were waiting for you to pick one of us to take you,” Mitch said.
“And I was waiting for one of you to ask me out.” She lay back down and was silent for several minutes. “I rather like the idea of you two being possessive over me. I wish I’d known, and I would have stopped all those girls swooning over you.”
“Those girls were only jealous because you had all of our attention,” Chase said.
Mitch held her hand, and they lay down talking for the remainder of the day. He had his friend and the woman he loved back in his arms.
He’d never been so happy in his life.
