Brian pulled on his earlobe and cleared his throat. "Does, uh... does it matter?"
Damn. Was he going to watch his relationship become one of those confusing 'open' things so soon, right before his very eyes? If a guy had hit on Valerie, Brian had no doubt he'd make an ass of himself by punching him on the spot, but he probably shouldn't make a habit of punching girls, especially not girls he knew. His stomach churned and he pushed a palm against the spot, rather than act like a jealous boyfriend.
Maddy perked up. "I'm serious, but I wouldn't do anything to hurt our boy Brian. He's sensitive." She nodded and gave him a sympathetic look. "Besides, I have never heard him call anyone his girlfriend before. Not even that sock he keeps--"
"Ugh." Brian dropped his head back. "Fuuuuuck you..." he mumbled, then gave his attention to Valerie. "She's lying. There's no sock." He reached out and put his fingertips over the bassist's face. He gave it a gentle but insistent push, the way one might rough up a younger sister.
