âIf that was supposed to be an insult, that was bad. I stopped listening after you called me beautiful.â With Percy, things were easy. They could laugh, joke, and tease one another over anything and it wouldnât matter. It was the kind of distraction that she needed from the mess of her life and the biggest bonus of all? She didnât have to worry about him trying to sleep with her at the end of it all. Light hues rolled at the suggestion; not out of annoyance towards him, but more so at herself. âI appreciate the offer, I do, but I can handle it. Iâm mostly just trying to pick up extra shifts so I can have something to lean on if I need it. I promise, Iâm good.â It was just another reason that sheâd quickly deemed him one of her best friends. She couldnât think of many other people who would have been so quick to help. âItâs a shame we could never work out, you know?â Nudging him, she offered a smile in return. âPlease, it just takes practice. I told you this. Itâs not a competition if Iâm not actually playing.â

âit amazes me that you think iâd ever insult you,â percy laughed, and he remembered all the things he loved about her, her sense of humor being one of the main things they worked perfectly. âyou better let me help my best friend one of these days, otherwise iâll just slip you the money without you noticing, even if telling you now totally defeats the purpose of it being a surprise.â he couldnât help but worry, sure he struggled himself, but percy was raised to always lend a hand no matter what. his grandmother would feed and clothe whoever needed some solace or warmth. âyou will never stop with that one, huh?â percy laughed shaking his head at her. âi canât even talk to a guy, let alone let them do whatever they wanted to my...what was it that girl called it, my persussyâ
