20. Say goodnight and go

Nate and Sean were sitting on the couch, waiting for the girls to return. Nate was looking at Sean intensely while Sean was busy on his phone. Feeling Nate's gaze on him, he put his phone in pocket. "Why do you stare at people like that dude? It's creepy."

"Why are you messaging Sam?" asked Nate. His face lacked any emotion.

"Ariana has finally started showing some interest in you. So, why are you messaging her? You're trying to two-time, huh asshole?"

"What?" Sean snapped. "You think I'd do anything that will blow up my chance with Ari? Absolutely not, you dumbfuck!"

"Well, then what is it?" Nate raised his voice.

"Sam saw me with Ari downstairs. She started crying and I went to her. I told her that I would always be there for her as her friend but I have feelings for Ari. I was just messaging her to know if she is still here or reached home safely."

Nate looked at Sean to figure out whether he was telling the truth or not. He relaxed as he saw sincerity on his face.
