We were at home.

This was just after Constan and my shift. It was evening, and we were now in my room.

"You don't usually invite me in here." Constan reported. "Which means something's up."

I nodded and shut the door. "Yep. I want to talk to you about something."

Constan went over and sat down on my bed. "Alright. Go ahead."

I remain standing. "Well... first I want to ask you something."

He shrugged. "Fine. But let's not make this too long. I want to watch a show tonight."

"In detail, how exactly do you feel about Cindi?" I ask him.

He narrows his eyes. "Hmm... should've known you would ask something like that. In detail? Well, I am still a little awkward around her. But, she's nice to be around, and pushy, but not too pushy. Overall she's good."

I nod. "Mhm. So, what do you think of her as?"

Constan gives me a glare. "Why?"

"Just, because." I said.

He sighed. "It's... confusing. I don't really know enough about her to call her friend or anything like that. But, she's... a companion of sorts. An associate."

I snickered. "Associate?"

Constan huffed. "Well what did you think of Aurora as before you got to know her?!"

I raise an eyebrow. "Oh? Why'd you use that comparison?"

He looked confused. "Why does that one matter?"

I smile. "Because it was exactly how your situation started. And look at us now."

Constan lost all frustration. "...It's not the same. It won't end the same either."

I nod. "You're right. She'll probably kiss you way before Aurora kissed me."

Constan blushed and glared at me. "Not true! I bet she'll never do it!"

I smile. "Alright, alright. If you say so. But, I was wondering if you, me, Aurora, and Cindi all wanted to get something to eat for dinner tomorrow? If, Cindi is able to."

Constan thought about it. "Sure. Why not."

I suppress a laugh. "Ok then. We can call Cindi tonight and ask about it. You did get her number right?"

Constan nodded. "Yeah."

(At this point, I couldn't believe he hadn't realize it yet.)

"Alright." I said. "Do you want to call her, or should I?"

Constan shook his head. "I will. I don't want you making any sort of mischievous plans behind my back."

(Funny choice of words Constan. Funny choice of words...)

I then open the door. "Ok. Go and call her then, and ask for tomorrow. Is she isn't available tomorrow, then ask for another night this week."

Constan got off my bed, and walked out the door. "Fine. But this whole thing is just a friendly get-together. nothing more."

I nod. "Definitely."

He then walked to the kitchen to get the phone.

"Not." I added.
