And by that, I mean he and his friends are screaming like ogres, running around shirtless in my brothers' garage. Trust me, I never think about Mason as anything more than a friend. It doesn't matter that he can leave me in stitches of laughter like no one else can.Or that he's outrageously hot--almost comically so--even when he's ten beers deep and running a nudey lap around my house when we shut him out in Beer Pong (hey, it's house rules).And it definitely doesn't matter that years ago, he stuck out his neck for me in a way that I'll never be able to repay. He was the one who inspired me to go to Harvard. Sorry, I'm getting all choked up here. Let me elaborate a little bit before I get off topic.In case you're having a hard time believing me, let me tell you all the reasons why I can't be with him:*He's my brother's best friend*He's like family*They've made a pact to never, ever hook up with their friends' sisters*Mason doesn't DO relationships. And that's very clear by his behavior.So those are the first four things, already. And also:*Mason's the hottest bartender in Blackwell. Maybe even in the U.S.A. *He loves to cavort around my house shirtless and dare me to lick his six-pack*We may or may not have had a secret make out session in high school we vowed never to tell anyone aboutOh...I'm sorry. I was supposed to be saying all the reasons we can't hook up?These pregame beers must be affecting me... Basically--my brother Cole will kill me (and Mason) if he finds out we're a thing. But what if it's not just a hook-up?What if it's something deeper? Problem is, once we veer into this territory, there's no going back. Maybe I'll just head to the bar instead to get out of here. Oh wait, Mason's the bartender at my favorite place in town. Well, one drink can't hurt, right?
