“Well if you need more friends, I’m available and I’m sure my friends would love to meet you “. “No thanks, one annoying midget is enough for me. Jeremy is kind, I know him, he’s my neighbor, we live in the same apartment building. Hal and Jordan seem nice too but they are too involved in their relationship to pay attention to their friends. And your other friend, Sal, he’s okay too but he’s too cold, he doesn’t know how to be a friend “. “Oh”. Nathan nodded not knowing how to continue the conversation as Ivan just described everyone of his friend correctly.

"I'm like here on my own even though it's my birthday, because my stupid friend couldn't make it—she had a date at Paris with her new boo—and I was just hoping I could have at least some fun--" Whatever it was that made him stop and stare, Logan didn't know. Although he thought for a while and hoped it wasn't because of her already hard nipples. Perhaps she was cold already? "Sweetheart, slow down already. It's fine. It's fine." He gently said to her, "it won't be a lonely night. I promise." ✩★✩

DRAKE’S POV Stephanie takes a while before she gets back to the table. She lets out a deep sigh as she takes her sit. “Everything alright?” I ask. “Yeah… everything’s…fine” She answers a little distracted. “It doesn’t look fine. Was it your cousin again?” I furrow my brows. “No, it’s just a friend of mine begging for some money, it’s a large sum, she ran into debt and is looking to refund” She explains placing her phone back on the table.

Iniisip ko na lang na baka nga handa naman siyang pumasok sa isang relasyon, pero ayaw niya lamang na magkamali. Ang problema lamang ay hindi ko alam kung anong relasyon meron kami. Magkaibigan? Hatid-sundo sa school, magkasabay sa breakfast, lunch and even dinner kapag weekends, tinutulungan niya ako sa mga mabibigat na subjects and projects, magkatawagan oras-oras. Pwedeng magkaibigan lang kami.

She only hesitated for a minute before giving in. Don't get her wrong. Not that she hates attending parties, but this city is different from where she came from. And, of course, she knew no one here. Just some classmates, and some familiar faces, but they cannot be considered friends. They are not close enough either. Just classmates or schoolmates' relationships. A very formal one.

“That’s not something you should be worrying about right now. So tell me how is your roommate like?’ “You really want to know that now? Gre- “she paused realizing that she almost slipped out Grey’s name. Grey stared at her and she used her free hands to wave him off. “Stop staring at me like that.” She mouthed. “What was that?” Her auntie asked. “It was nothing auntie. I just said that I. uh. I am currently having a study uh.” She tried to think of an excuse and said the first thing that came to her mind. “Date.” She groaned when she realized what she had said. “Date?” Her auntie repeated the same time Grey mouthed the same words to her. “uh yea, study date auntie, I’m currently having a st

"Babes, I want you to move on. Just not with your business partner. I don't think my point is that hard to understand." "For the last time, Cindy. Jayden and I are just partners. We hang out but we are not in love, we don't plan to be. He's my only other friend aside from you, haven't you noticed? "I can't spend every second with you. And I can't spend every second working. I need to spend some time with other people who are my friends. Doing things that aren't related to work. Until I have other friends to fill that void, I don't think I have a choice."

Whatever it is I feel happy and comfortable now. As a result, I felt that I was single for a long time, my relationship with Iwan could be said to be limited to friends but intimate, there were some male friends who approached like Pepen or other friends. But still under the criteria of my boyfriend and aim. Just be close, chat, play together, the most important thing is that it is still polite and normal.

I put away the cup and clear my throat. "I don't have friends." I start. "I was kinda social in high-school. Had a couple of friends. But that changed when I started living with my boyfriend. For the past eight years, my only friend has been Brandon. He never let anyone come too close to me. I thought it was love. Now I think it was fear. He was scared that they would see through his bullshit and make me leave him. Last year I met Lana and realised how much I had missed out on the magic of friendship. I only have one friend. Can you believe that? I think it's time I expand the tiny circle."

Maybe, just maybe, Brandon was right. I should give it a try. Maybe we can have a frenemies with benefits situation. We were not really friends but neither were we enemies anymore. I have no idea how else to label us as frenemies. Something between enemies and friends. So I was thinking this might actually work out. It looked like neither of us had any interest in going to clubs or even having one night stands. But we were both sexualy frustrated. So maybe we can make a deal. We could take care of each other's needs, and leave out the part where things get ugly and emotions get involved.
