The Lighthouse Effect

Michael's POV

"... I dated this guy who was very much like Cassie. I still won him over". Jake boasted.  Wait a minute, did I hear it right? 

"Wait what"? I frowned.

"What?" His eyes widened at me and he looked flustered. 

"You dated a guy"? I asked with a suggestive smile.

"Slip of tongue"? He said almost as if he was asking me. I tilted my head which led him to let out a frustrated sigh. "Ughh! Fine! Yes, I dated a guy. I am Bi" He looked away.

"Cool" I laughed.

"Why are you laughing"? He glared at me.

"You should see your face, you look as if you have seen a ghost" I snorted but tried my best to control it as he continued to shower me with his glare. "Sorry" I pursed my lips.

"I would have preferred a ghost" He mumbled and I ended up laughing again. "I don't usually tell people, but I guess…. Yeah. Now you know" He mumbled.
