After changing back into his everyday clothes Ellis quietly closed the bedroom door behind him while Josephine was in the bathroom. Pulling out his phone he dialed Gryphonsâ number.Â
Ellis sighed in relief as he heard Gryphonsâ voice through the other end of the line, âGryph? I need your help ..â
âDid something happen to Josephine!? Whatâs going on?â
âI uh .. I donât know what to do man. Josephine is fine, sheâs in the bathroom showering right now ..â
âOkay .. whatâs going on Ellis?â
âI canât do this man, itâs not right. Iâm sorry.â
âCanât do what Ellis?â
âJosephineâs amazing and I ... sheâs yours man.â
âWhat do you mean sheâs mine?â
âI feel weird whenever I kiss her, whenever I touch her ... I feel like Iâm hitting on your girl. And the way she looks at me ...â
âShe looks at me with pity, like sheâs about to break my heart man. And she doesnât mean too but over half our conversations are related to you. Sheâs in love with you Gryph. And I was waiting for it to hurt. I was waiting for my heart to break and well it didnât. Iâve realized that Iâve won the lottery with the two greatest friends I have ever met and ... Iâm okay with that. Iâm okay with friends.â
