I bit my lip. “It was nice. We had drinks there and then decided to grab a pizza instead, so we went back to his place and watched a movie. It wasamazing.”
“Did you guys…” She waggled her eyebrows at me and I threw my napkinather.
“I’m not going to kiss and tell,” I playfullybarked.
She gasped. “You did! You so did!” She was bouncing in her seat like she always did when she was excited. “How was it? Incredible? It must have been mind-blowing or you wouldn’t have that goofy look onyourface.”
I nodded in agreement. “Let’s just say I had areallygoodtime.”
“Fine, hide the details now. A few drinks in and you’ll be singing like acanary.”
I couldn’t argue with her there; she was spot on. “Moving right along—you seemed like there was something else you wanted to talk about on this phone thismorning.”
Myla nodded. “Yeah, there is actually.” She played with her napkin. “So, Gavin and I have been meaning to ask you for a while, and I didn’t want it to be weird oranything.”
“What’sup?”
“Well, I asked Gavin if I could talk to you about this, just us, because I didn’t want you to feel obligated tosayyes.”
She was starting to make me feel uneasy with all of her fidgeting. “Just ask, Myla. It’s me for cryingoutloud.”
“Okay. Okay. Gavin and I want to know if you will be our baby’sgodmother.”
I covered my mouth with my hand as tears filled my eyes. “Of course! I would behonored.”
“There is one small catch though. Fuck, this is going to sound crazy, but in our defense, Gavin and I decided on this before anything happened between the two of you. Would you mind if we asked Crosby to be thegodfather?”
I was confused. “What about Brayden? Won’t he be upset if itisn’thim?”
She shook her head. “Brayden already knows the entire plan and is completely on board. We decided it was best for all of our sakes, because of the family bullshit, that Brayden not be. Gavin’s mother would flip a shit, and I am already on the thinnest of ice with that woman asitis.”
I put my hand on hers. “I do not mind one bit if you ask Will to be the godfather of your baby, Myla. I do appreciate you asking me beforehand,though.”
Her face lit up. “Thank you, Jordan. You just made my fucking day. You really have no idea what this means to Gavinandme.”
“I think I do, and I am honored to be a part of allofthis.”

After leaving Myla,I made my way home. I had the day off and I was really excited to spend it wrapped in a blanket on my couch doing nothing but watching Netflixallday.
With popcorn and wine in hand, I scrolled through the movies. Right as I was about to put onHow to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, my phone vibrated withatext.
Crosby:Heyyou.
Me:Hibabe.
Crosby: How’s your daygoing?
Me: Pretty great actually. Whataboutyou?
Crosby: I just got off the phone with Gavin. We had a prettyinterestingchat.
Me: I just got home fromseeingMyla.
Crosby: You’re okay with all of thisright?
Me: Yeah, for sure.Areyou?
