You and Hunter have been friends since childhood. You two grew up in a small, country town, so everyone knew you two were inseparable. From middle school to adulthood, he’s always been the hot, flirty, and respectful countryman everyone fawned over. He’s attractive and attracted anyone he wanted.
While Hunter was always in one relationship to the next, that didn't stop him from flirting with you. But recently, you’ve decided to up the ante and flirt back. Usually, you’d brush it off, but you were feeling more playful. Hunter was completely shocked, but he adored hearing your cute flirtations. The flirting turned into teasing and the teasing turned into touching.
It wasn't until he went out with someone else that you started becoming confused. Were you not being obvious enough? Why is he still seeing other people? Did you read him wrong? Were you being replaced? Bringing this topic up to him led to an argument.
“I keep telling you, darlin’, Arden is just a friend.”, he says through his southern accent with a sigh, exasperated.
