I shrugged and continued with my dinner, shoving a
spoonful into my mouth.
“You don’t care… if he breaks up with you?” she asked
slowly.
“I’m not in love with him if that’s what you’re asking,” I
said around a mouthful.
It was true, I didn’t love Landon. He was nice, and I
liked him.
But that was it.
“Maddox–”
I cut her off. “He doesn’t know and you won’t tell him.” I
leveled Riley with a hard look, and she leaned back against
her chair, looking only a bit intimidated. “If he finds out
Landon is ghosting me or if he thinks I’m hurt over this,
which I’m not honestly, he’s going to kill Landon.”
Riley cocked her head to the side, thoughtfully. “Didn’t
you… um, spend the night over at Maddox’s last night?”
“We fell asleep while binge watching Friends,” I
amended. I woke up in his bed in the morning; he carried
me to bed after I had fallen sleep, and I had been all cozy
against his pillows and his blankets while Maddox slept on
the couch.
“Do you think maybe the issue is Maddox? Not that I’m
saying he is, but you know how all your exes were sensitive
about him. Maybe Landon is too?”
She raised a good point.
Maddox loathed every guy I dated.
Consequently, they hated him, too. And none of them
were too happy of my relationship with Maddox. They
didn’t like that we were that close. They didn’t approve of
Maddox having access to my apartment. He could come
and go freely and vice versa. They didn’t like that I
attended all of Maddox’s football games and some of his
practices.
It was a lot to juggle, and granted, yes, it made sense
why they didn’t approve of Maddox’s relationship with me.
