"Because." Jason folds his hands
on the table awkwardly and watches his fingers dance clumsily with each
other as he tries in vain to find a comfortable position for them. "You're
gonna wind up getting hurt really badly."
He watches Lauren for some sign of
acceptance, but he sees her lips twitching with protest.
"Look at how all over the map he's
been so far," Jason cuts in. "He--he's been giving you totally opposite
signals, right? I really don't think that's gonna stop, Lauren."
She is quiet for a moment. "I guess
not."
"I think the best thing for us to
do right now is just be good friends to Alex," he continues. "That way
he can--maybe he'll be able to sort out whatever's going on in his head."
She nods glumly. "That's probably
a good idea ... Yeah."
He breathes an internal sigh of relief.
"I'm glad to hear you say that."
"Well, I'm not an idiot. The logical
part of me can tell that this thing isn't going to work." She pauses. "But
I wish it would. I mean, I feel comfortable with him, and ... we can have
a lot of fun together, but he's really good for having serious conversations
sometimes, too. And he is really hot. It would be perfect, wouldn't
it?"
Jason is saved from having to respond
by the return of the waitress.
