"That was a great run through everyone! I wanna run through the last scene once more and then we'll end rehearsals slightly earlier today." Theo's voice ricocheted off the walls of the empty theatre.

"Damn." Ivy whispered but the room was so quiet everyone had heard it.

"What was that Ivy?" Theo smirked knowingly at her.

Ivy cleared her throat and shifted uncomfortably on her spot.

"If anything I'd say you wouldn't want to leave early."

"What? Don't flatter yourself." Ivy managed to say.

"I never said you wanted to spend more time with me. Would you like to tell me something Ivy?" Theo walked onto the stage to face Ivy.

"Yes." Theo looked taken aback but stood confidently in front of Ivy. "Don't. Flatter. Your. Self." And with that she turned and left.

-

"We're still on for dinner tonight, right?" Ivy asked me as we walked outside.

"Of course. Theo's coming too." I bumped my hip with hers and she stumbled slightly.

"You did not." She stared at me blankly.

"Come on. There's definitely something between you two. The sexual tension was killing me just a few seconds ago." I teased her.

"There's no sexual tension." She huffed.

"Couldn't you feel it? It's like - "

"How I could tell you and Hunter liked each other when you came over to visit and you kept denying it?" Ivy interrupted me and smirked satisfied with her explanation. "You two are the definition of sexual tension!"

"Well at least Hunter made a move!" I countered.

"Clearly not the right ones considering all that sexual frustration - "

I glared at Ivy, "Don't finish that sentence."

"I'm just saying both yours and Hunter's sexual frustration will be released if you just do the deed."

"Who says we haven't?"

"Honey, your sexual frustration is more obvious than mine and Theo's chemistry."

"So you do admit there's something!" I screamed and Ivy blushed. You could just see the red tint creeping up on her dark skin.

"Shit." She mumbled. "I didn't - We don't - I mean we have - I don't have to explain myself to you." She finally finished with a huff.

"Mkay. We'll see tonight. We'll get Hunter's opinion as well." I smirked knowingly.

-

"Hunter, babe, you really need to finish up now." I watched Hunter as his eyes were scanning over the books laid in front of him.

Usually I'd be the one spending over an hour in the book store but after introducing Hunter to the magical world of books, he was a tough competitor. The only reason why I was in a rush was because we were late for dinner with Ivy and Theo; Ivy was currently waiting in our apartment for us.

"But I can't chose one!" He whined.

"Then get all!" I offered which only received an incredulous look back.

"I can't by ten books... Or can I?"

Before I could even consider rolling my eyes, I felt a vibration in my pocket.

"Ivy! I'm so sorry - "

"I am alone. In your apartment. With Theo..." I couldn't help but smile at this, "Stop smiling."

"That was creepy... We'll be home in about fifteen minutes."

"And what are we supposed to do while we wait?"

"You're two mature adults I'm sure you're able to entertain each other - I mean yourselves - for a couple of minutes."

"I'm so getting you back for this." Ivy managed to grind out before hanging up the phone.

"You ready to go sweetheart?" Hunter smiled at me innocently.

I looked down at the packet in his hands, "Finally! We better get home before Ivy burns down our apartment."

Hunter stared at me before pulling me out the door and towards his car.

-

"How is it that my boyfriend likes shopping more than me?" I sighed as Hunter tried opening the fort while carrying all his bags.

"How is it that my girlfriend can see I'm struggling but won't help me?" He pushed the door opened with a loud sigh.

I walked into his back, expecting him to enter the apartment but his body filled the door frame.

"For fuck's sake! Not the couch!" Hunter grumbled underneath his breath.

"What?" I asked as I stood on my tippy toes to see over Hunter's shoulder, "OH MY EYES!"

"Em! You're back!?" Ivy jumped off of the couch trying to fix her slightly disheveled appearance.

"Hunter walk!" I tried nudging him forward.

"My poor couch!" He said as he evenly moved towards the couch and shoved Theo out of the way.

"Chill dude, nothing was done on this couch." Theo eventually spoke up.

"It's probably been put to better use by us than you two." Ivy added.

I glared at Ivy daring her to tell Hunter about our chat this afternoon. I wasn't exactly ready to have the awkward sex talk with my boyfriend.

"Can we just eat please." Theo mumbled.

"I'm sure you must be starving!" I said sarcastically.

-

To say those first few minutes we were sitting down and eating was awkward, was an understatement. The only sound you could hear was people eating and forks on plates.

"This is really good..." Ivy tried but the room fell silent again immediately after.

"Oh what the hell." I mumbled under my breath, "I can't believe it took you two so long to admit you feelings." I finally broke the awkward tension.

I saw Ivy give Theo a questioning side glance which he replied to with a nod, "Well... We both knew we liked each other but neither of us did anything and since you and Theo are exes and I'm Hunter's closest girl friend we thought it might be weird for you two."

"Wait." I started and Hunter finished with, "What?"

"You guys are okay with it, right?" Theo finally spoke up.

I looked over at Hunter and at the same we burst out laughing. Ivy and Theo looked beyond confused.

I decided to clarify,"I'm so over Theo! He's like a little brother to me now - "

"Hey! I'm older - " Theo interrupted.

"Shhh young one."

"And Theo's a decent enough guy for me to tolerate." Hunter smiled.

"Thanks." Theo roles his eyes. "I feel very loved right now."

Ivy leaned over to give him a kiss but before she could Hunter shouted, "No PDA in my house!"

"Hunter." I laughed, "Let the new love blossom."

"It can blossom outside." He grumbled.

"Your house, huh Hunter?" Ivy smirked, "What have you done to make this house... Yours?" Her eyes brows raised and I slightly choked receiving a concerned look from Hunter.

"I... I decorated it?" Hunter's naivety made me release a sigh of relief. For a male, he sure did miss that hint.

"Ooh... How did you decorate it? Was there a certain material that looked better? Or color?" Ivy wasn't quitting and wouldn't look my way to receive my ultimate death glare.

"Maybe I'm missing something but the landlord said we couldn't paint so we just hung up pictures." Hunter was frowning trying to decide Ivy's secret language.

"Pin anything else against the walls?" Ivy tried again.

"Oh. Oh..." His eyes widened in realization as he understood what she meant. The thought finally occurred to me that Ivy didn't know Hunter was a virgin. No one knew expect me.
