I Helped My Best Friend Flirt With a Guy… Then He Fell for Me Instead

A New Reality

The next day, Kurt and I meet Audrey. We sit down and Kurt starts explaining that we want to try dating.

She says she appreciates us telling her directly. “It’s still weird and I’m not totally okay with it, but I can accept it as long as I don’t expect her to hang out with us as a couple.”

That evening, we go back to the apartment to tell Joey. He jumps up and cheers.

Then his expression changes. “What happens if we break up and I have to stop coming over?”

I promise him that my friendship with him exists completely separate from any relationship with Kurt. We all have to pinky swear.

Our first official date happens three days later at a quiet Italian place. Kurt reaches across the table and takes my hand.

Audrey and I text more regularly again. She tells me about her second date with the guy from art class.

Thursday game night becomes this sacred thing that’s just Joey and me every single week. Kurt usually brings home pizza and hangs out with us for a bit.

Audrey sends a photo of her and the art class guy. She thinks this one might actually be different in a good way.

I realize we all somehow found our way to something better. It’s not perfect, but it’s real and honest.

And there you have it, another masterpiece of mediocrity. If you made it this far, I can’t tell if you’re loyal or just lost. Either way, subscribe and let’s keep making questionable choices.
