[messages between zoe and nate]
zoe hey so i was thinking about going to the cemetery tomorrow for ivy's birthday did you want me to swing by and grab ethan?
nate i've actually been meaning to talk to you about that ethan wants to try and make it not such a sad day this year
zoe how does he plan to do that?
nate he got me to buy a cake and he wants us to all have dinner and just be together it's okay if you're not feeling up to it
zoe i actually think that's a great idea did you need me to bring anything?
nate just your boyfriend, if he's down
zoe what boyfriend
nate you're kidding right zoe i have a piece of advice for you if you don't want me to know that you have a boyfriend DON'T MAKE OUT WITH HIM IN YOUR CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE
zoe oh i forgot about that i'll keep that in mind for next time
nate why did you try to lie about it anyway?
zoe it's complicated but basically jay told him that he doesn't think that it's a good idea for us to get back together and neither of us really want to deal with what he might have to say about it for now
nate wait wait wait it's been three weeks since you had ethan are you telling me that you guys have been keeping it a secret for that long?
zoe i wouldn't say that we're keeping it a secret exactly we've still been going on dates and all that stuff we're just not posting about it or jumping up and down to tell everyone
nate not a secret my ass you're so full of shit
zoe fine, it's a secret it's not that big of a deal we're going to tell them eventually
nate you know the longer you wait the harder it's going to be, right?
zoe i'm honestly more worried about me accidentally calling him babe in front of bree she already thinks we're screwing since he moved all his stuff to my place, so it wouldn't take much for her
nate and what bree knows, jay knows wait you've already moved him in?
zoe kind of it got to a point where he was sleeping at my place and just going back to his hotel every couple of days to get clothes, so it just made sense for him to move all of his stuff to mine and stop paying for the hotel
nate and how did you explain that to jay
zoe we made up a bullshit story about a mix up with the hotel they think he's sleeping on an air mattress in the spare room
nate ah yes, because any man would love to sleep on an air mattress with his ex girlfriend in the next room when he could have a comfy hotel bed
zoe to be fair, i'm pretty sure they already figured out that we like each other
nate yeah that tends to happen when you're both as subtle as a brick to the face
zoe i don't think we're quite that bad
nate you are i'm interested to see how long you two sneaking around lasts before you guys either get sick of it and come clean about it or one of you slips up
zoe please do not jinx it i swear to god
nate i'm not jinxing it i'm honestly rooting for you
zoe really?
nate i was serious when i said that i always liked him it seems like he makes you happy
