two Outta three by S. Briones Lim


He is also my best friend—and I’m hopelessly in love with him.
Unfortunately he didn’t feel the same way about me, and to make matters worse, he moved away in the middle of our senior year, completely cutting me off.
Now after a few years (and did I mention a new guy?) I am hit with the biggest bombshell of all—Jesse is moving back to town!
I know I should be happy, but I can’t help but feel a bit nervous about our reunion, especially since I never once stopped loving him.
Will things be weird between us?
Will we struggle to reconnect?
But even more importantly…
Will he finally feel the same way about me?

Excerpt“So, I was thinking we can go out to Carbanaro’s tomorrow night,” Ethan said coyly. “Are you kidding me? That place is expensive!” I exclaimed with a mouth full of food. Apparently, I had lost all sense of table manners, but of course Ethan was nice enough not to care. “Well, it’ll be our fourth date and I was thinking—” “Oh! I didn’t know anybody else was in here,” a voice exclaimed. I looked up to see Jesse’s shocked face. He glanced between me and Ethan and then back again. “It’s okay, man. Just having lunch with Rocky.” Ethan reached out and tapped my arm. Jesse’s lips tightened. “I see.” Ethan smiled warmly, seemingly oblivious to Jesse’s judging eyes. “Are you new here? I haven’t seen you before.” I cleared my throat, nearly choking on a piece of lettuce. “Ethan, this is my old friend, Jesse. He just started working for us yesterday.” I paused and glanced back up at Jesse, who had backed his way over to the old fridge in the corner of the break room. “Jesse, this is Ethan. He’s…uh….we…uh…” Ethan stiffened slightly, but never lost the smile on his face. “No labels.” “No labels,” Jesse repeated. He opened the fridge and grabbed a dirtied insulated lunch bag. Realizing he had no choice but to eat with us, I quickly began chomping down my salad. Anything to hurry lunch along. “Old friends, huh?” Ethan glanced between the two of us. “How long have you known each other?”Jesse answered for me. “We’ve been friends since we were fourteen.” “Wow, almost ten years. That’s impressive!” Ethan’s eyes widened in appreciation. “We lost touch a few years back,” I corrected, stabbing into yet another cucumber. I kept my eyes focused on my half-eaten salad and didn’t notice Jesse quickly making an exit. “Where are you heading off to? You can eat with us,” Ethan offered. I lifted my head and realized Jesse was already making his way towards the door. He paused sheepishly and shook his head. “No offense, but I’m a bit of introvert. I need my lunch break to regroup…alone.” “Understood, my man.” Introvert? Since when? “Are you sure you aren’t just sneaking out to take a smoke?” I asked doubtfully. Jesse shook his head, but kept his expression cold. “I quit a long time ago.” He stopped smoking too? Ethan turned back towards me. “So, Carbanaro’s? Tomorrow evening?” “Uh, sure,” I replied absently. “Why not?”
