He laughed. "Well in that case." He grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me hard. His other hand slid to my ass as he pulled me against him. I ran my fingers through his hair as his kiss deepened.

"Stop having sex you guys!" Rob yelled from downstairs. "We're all waiting for you."

James groaned into my mouth. "I feel like we just wasted time. They all thought we were having sex anyway."

"Tomorrow." I patted his chest.

He kissed me once more. "Tomorrow."

"Truth or dare, Daphne?" Jen asked.

"Um. Truth," said Daphne.

Jen smiled. "Are you in love with my brother?"

"Which one?" Bee asked. "You should really be more specific." She grabbed the bowl of popcorn out of Jen's hand.

Jen laughed. "Rob of course."

"It's so soon," Daphne said. "I mean, that's crazy."

"I didn't ask if it was crazy or too soon. I just asked if you loved him. Yes or no?"

Daphne pressed her lips together. It looked like she was trying not to smile. "Yes."

Jen squealed. "I know I said it was just a yes or no. But now I need to know everything. How serious are you guys?"

"I don't know. He's talking about moving to New York. I mean, he wanted me to meet all of you. I know it's fast, but," she smiled, "I can't stop thinking about him. He just has this positive energy about him. I really need that in my life. He just makes me so happy."

"I'm so happy for you guys," I said. "You just seem so nice and sweet and understanding."

"Can I ask you something personal, Penny?" asked Daphne.

"Of course."

"Before you dated James, did you date Rob?"

I laughed. "Wait, what? Why would you ask that?"

"He just talks about you in a weird way. Like super flirtatiously, I guess. I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just wondering."

"No, I never dated Rob. We're just like...the best of friends. That's just the way he is."

"It's true," Bee said. "You should hear some of the inappropriate things he's said to me. But he doesn't mean it. He's just being funny. We barely notice it anymore."

Daphne laughed. "Oh, good. I was just worried you had all slept with him. I mean, not you Jen, obviously."

Jen pretended to vomit.

Melissa shoved a huge handful of popcorn in her mouth and nodded along. I was hoping she wouldn't mention the fact that she had slept with Rob a few years ago. Especially since it meant nothing to Melissa or Rob. Surely Rob would tell her eventually, but it wasn't necessary right now. I wanted us all to be able to be friends.

"Okay, truth or dare, Penny?" Daphne asked.

"Truth." None of us were choosing dare. We all just wanted to talk. This was just a fun way to do it with a new person in our group.

"Are you nervous at all about tomorrow?"
