CHAPTER 15
THE DREAM TEAM
Eli
Yo. Alec. Requesting an update on the Evie situation.
Alec
What kind of update?
Van
Have you kissed her?
Alec
No.
Van
You’ve thought about it though, right?
Alec
No.
Eli
Don’t lie. You know we know when you lie.
Alec
Fine. Yes.
Felix
Have you figured out the Riley thing?
Alec
I called her. She was chill. Said she’d take the pictures down.
Wyatt
Can someone summarize for the guy who doesn’t live there anymore?
Felix
Evie is Alec’s little sister’s best friend.
Nathan
Also his current roommate.
Wyatt
Right. Because her house flooded. I got that part. And something about Alec drooling when he saw her?
Alec
There was no drool.
Camden
But he IS into her.
Logan
But it’s complicated because she has a kid.
Felix
A baby who is only four or five months old.
Wyatt
And Riley is the woman in Chicago? Who Alec dated?
Eli
Yep. But they aren’t dating anymore even though her Instagram profile made it look like they still were.
Alec
Which is why I called her.
Wyatt
Got it.
Eli
And now we’re back to Alec’s next move.
Alec
This does not need to be a group discussion. I’ve got this. We’re doing a dream team dinner thing at Felix’s. She already agreed to come.
Wyatt
I miss team dream dinners at Felix’s.
Alec
We miss you too, man. How’s Boston? How’s the team?
Wyatt
Boston is cold. Team is great.
Camden
I miss dream team dinners that weren’t couples dinners.
Alec
Been there. Camden. Sorry, man.
Felix
We’ll do one with just the team soon.
Alec, you should invite Evie to the Halloween party at the Summit.
Alec
Already thought of that.
Logan
Is she working? She started her new job, right?
Alec
Yeah.
Logan
Take her lunch.
Nathan
That’s a good idea. Surprise her.
Alec
Okay. Hadn’t thought of that.
Eli
See? You do need us. How’s life with a baby around?
Alec
I don’t hate it.
Van
Are we supposed to read between the lines here? Does that mean you also don’t love it?
Alec
I didn’t say that.
Eli
So you DO love it.
Camden
In other words…
Van
Captain’s got it bad…
