I looked over at Tyler, but he didn't seem to have any reaction to what Rob had just said. After I had moved to New York, Rob and Melissa had a short fling. Tyler knew about it because we had talked about how weird it was. If Melissa and him were dating now, it would make him uncomfortable to hear about it again. Tyler didn't seem to care at all that Rob wanted to do gross things to Melissa, though. And I didn't doubt at all that they'd be gross.
"I have an idea," James cut in. "You could call it a night and go to bed early."
"That wasn't subtle at all, James," I said.
Matt laughed. "What, do you two need to finish whatever it was you were about to do before Penny realized there was a whole room of people watching?"
"I wasn't about to do anything," I said. "That was a complete misunderstanding. I was just making sure James' outfit looked good. Checking his buttons and stuff."Worst excuse ever.
"That's not what it sounded like," Tyler said. "I'm pretty sure we were all just a few seconds away from witnessing quite the graduation celebration."
Melissa glared at him. I couldn't tell if she looked jealous or if she was just mad at him for further embarrassing me. I couldn't read either of them tonight.
"Well, as much fun as this has been, we should probably get going," Melissa said and put her hand on Tyler's knee.
I looked at her hand on Tyler's knee and then back at her face. She immediately moved her hand.Oh God, they are sleeping together.Why didn't she tell me? I bit the inside of my lip.
"Yeah, we probably should head out." Tyler stood up.
Melissa immediately stood up beside him. "I'll see you tomorrow, Penny."
"Sounds good. Thanks for coming tonight."
"Of course. Great party, James."
"Are you not even going to say goodbye to me?" Rob asked.
Melissa rolled her eyes. "As if you deserve a goodbye. Bye, Matt. It was great seeing you again."
"Bye, Melissa," he said with a laugh. "See you around, Tyler,"
Tyler nodded and they both went over to the elevator.
I wanted Melissa and Tyler to be happy. Why did she think I'd be upset about them dating? I looked down at my lap. My first thought had been that they weren't a good fit. Maybe she was right for not telling me.
"I think you're right," I whispered to James.
"About what?" Matt asked.
I looked over my shoulder. Tyler and Melissa were gone. "Am I terrible at whispering or something?" I asked.
"You're always really loud," Rob said with a wink.
I felt my face turning red.
"She was talking about how Melissa and Tyler are sleeping together," James said.
Matt laughed. "There's no way those two are banging. Don't you see the way he looks at you, Penny? He probably wants you even more than Rob does."
I felt James' arms tense around me.Damn it, Matt."Tyler and I are just friends."
"And I don't want Penny," Rob said. "She wants me."
I laughed. "Yeah, right."
"You're all in denial," Matt said. He stood up and yawned. "Okay, I think I'm going to head out too. Are you crashing here?" he asked Rob.
Rob looked over at me. "Well, that depends on if Penny wants me to stay."
