~Nantam's POV~
Nicki came around this morning, thankfully bringing coffee, which I desperately needed after that whole Evans drama dump. I told him everything about my coerced dinner with Evans, including the kiss and the absurd friend-zoning attempt.
The first thing Nicki did was practically choke on his latte. He burst into laughter, loud and obnoxious, until he had to set his cup down.
"Wait, wait," he gasped, wiping a tear from his eye. "Is Evans actually serious about you? Like, not in a 'just a one-night stand' way, but in an 'I want to hold your hand in public' way?"
I shrugged, feeling heat creep up my neck. "I don't know. He made it sound like I was this fascinating new puzzle he had to solve. And he was very clear that he likes me."
