Hurt Feelings

Gabe was the first to wake up on Saturday morning because of his routine, and the first thought on his mind when he opened his eyes was Ivy.

He sighed as he lay on Selena's bed, recalling what he had overheard Ivy and Selena discuss in the kitchen the previous night.

He couldn't say his feelings wasn't hurt by what Ivy had said considering how he actually did feel about her. But one thing he knew that she was right. Carter was probably better for her. From all she had said, they shared more in common, and he knew she was the settling down kind which he wasn't. So maybe this was for the best.

He wasn't Ivy's type and that was cool. He could be a friend or a big brother to her. Liking her didn't mean there had to be anything sexual between them, Gabe told himself as he got out of bed.

Once he had freshened up, he put on a sweat-pant and hooded tank top so that he could go for a run.
