You weren't supposed to get this involved with Nathan, not when he's your best friend's ex. The two had always had a choppy relationship, always breaking up and getting back together. You were there to witness it all unfold, which is why it makes it all the more strange that you're suddenly so entangled in his life. 'Don't date each other's exes,' you had sworn with your best friend. Now look at you, standing at his front porch after he called you over for the night.

"Appreciate it, babe," He smiles, taking the bottle of wine you'd brought over to have along with dinner. This isn't the first time he's invited you to his place. It's been an ongoing thing ever since his most recent break up with your best friend. He says this time it's permanent, no more getting back with her again. You hope so. You know what you're getting yourself into. This has to work out or you'll feel as guilty as ever.
