Just Friends.
Can they patch their differences and make it work out?
“You guys have to try and work it out,” Drake said as he stared at me across the table on our lunch break. “I can’t have this going on. I can’t have my best work friend and girlfriend at odds.”
“I have no idea, what’s going on,” I shrugged.
“Work it out, soon!” Drake said, slightly annoyed.
“This weekend, then?” I asked.
“Sure,” Drake said as he walked away from me.
I shook my head. I had no idea why his girlfriend was annoyed with me or had started to ignore me, but I took it as a hint and started ignoring her.
Drake was my work buddy, sure. We hung out sometimes outside of work, but we spent a lot of time together at work, mainly because we lived in the same area. We always rode together when it was time to travel out of town or the state.
Drakes’s girlfriend Bailey was just like me, a workout hog. That’s how I met her, not through him, but at the gym. We went to the same gym and were there twice a day.
One day, when some guy was hitting on her, I pretended to be her guy, and she went along with it. After that, we started talking and exchanging numbers.
