"Bae"

"Yeah!"

"I'm not comfortable with Jo."

"Really? Why? She likes you a lot."

They were in their bedroom. Nolam was reading a script and not really paying attention. The day had been a blur after his proposal. They spent their time drinking, eating, and joking around. Once they got home, Jo disappeared, pretending to have a headache. They ordered in and spent the evening laid back in front of the TV.

However, Clytia wasn't at ease. Jo had always been touchy with her. But she didn't mind. She was the same way with her girl-friends. Now, after the show she put up earlier, she kept wondering if they was some truth in it. What if she really was attracted to her? Was all the lingering touches here and there really innocent?

She was Nolam's friend. She thought she was hers too. Now, she wasn't so sure anymore.

"Nolam, can you put whatever you're reading aside for few minutes please?" she demanded as she sat on the bed, facing him.

"Not now Cly." He continued without looking at her.

"Now, please!"

He sighed and turned to her, the script left opened beside him. "Okay. I'm all ear."

"Jo!"

"What's the problem with Jo? I thought you appreciate her."

"I did! I do. But I think she is attracted to me."

He burst out laughing, his head falling backward and his hands clenching his chest. When he noticed she was staring at him, pissed, he realized she was serious.

"Oh! You're serious. Jo likes you but I don't think she is that into you honey."

"She said it herself when we were hiking."

"Really? When exactly?"

"Few moments before she walked me to your surprise."

"She was probably having fun with you. I had texted her. I needed few minutes to finish the surprise. I think it was what came to her mind. That's it. There is nothing to worry about."

"Fine! She kissed me, what about that?"

"I know. It's all over the internet. Daisy is not happy about that by the way."

"That's all you have to say? Someone kiss your wife and you have nothing to say?"

"I don't know Cly. You know she is a flirt. Don't worry. She was just having fun. You should be happy. Since you don't want people finding out about us, here is your solution. You're now known as Jo's new conquest."

"That's not funny."

"Being funny was not my intention. Or did you change your mind. You'll go with me to the next award show?"

"Yes, ..., No. I mean that is not what this is about. Can we not go there?"

"Why not? You wanted to talk, right?"

Clytia sighed. She didn't want to fight with him. Not after everything he did to please her during the day.

"I'll go with you Nolam if that's what you want."

"Really?" he asked with a brow raised, suspicious.

"Yeah, really;"

"So, we can go official now?" he asked again not the slightest convinced.

"Official?"

"Social media official." He explained, which made her rolled her eyes.

"Sure."

He took her hand and kissed the back of it with a smile.

"Don't tell me I didn't warned you about Jo though". She pouted, which made him laugh.
