The man’s lips felt surprisingly amazing on mine. What was his name again? Joey? Jacob? Ah, who cared, I threw my arms around him and pulled him closer to me. I heard cheers when I did, presumably from his group of friends.
Maria started laughing and clapping.
The kiss ended as suddenly as it had begun. “Wow,” Joey/Jacob said. “You better call me after that.”
I laughed. “Maybe I will.”
I saw someone approaching fast out of the corner of my eye.
“Logan!” I jumped off my stool, like I had just been caught by a parent doing something I shouldn’t.
Joey/Jacob took one look at Logan and Dylan and backed himself away from us.
“That was uh…my cousin,” I said, immediately regretting my choice of lie.

“Where’d Joey/Jacob go?”
By the time 5pm Tuesday rolled around, my annoyance with Logan was at an all time high. I should have been getting ready to have a fun night painting with my friends, but instead, I was re–settling in at my desk to work God knew how much longer.
I looked towards Maria’s desk. She grabbed her purse and looked over at me. I gave her a sad little wave and she came over.
“Next time they have a paint and sip I’ll take you, I promise,” she said once she reached my desk.
“Don’t let Logan or Dylan know if you do,” I said bitterly
“No, I won’t make that mistake again,” Maria scrunched up her nose. She leaned down and gave me a
