"I can't help it. I think-- I think I might really like her. I don't know."

"You lived across the street from her your entire life. How could you not know?" Mia ask

"She did shove me in my locker every day of fifth grade. But we danced together on the roof at the wedding and a part of me hasn't been able to stop thinking about her." Ben explained

"Which part? All of them. And they don't usually agree. Is it insane to think that she could ever like me?"

Mia surched her nose in disgust

"If she did, I'm sure she would have given you a sign." Danny said

"Hey Ben, the law firm that I'm interning for is having this big party and we all get to bring dates." Riley said

"If you're asking me, it's an unqualified "yes." If that was just general information, have a great time."

"I was asking."

"I'd love to. And that is what we call a sign."

"Hey, you sure about this? I mean, I just don't want you to get hurt. I know he's my brother and I love him, but it's Ben."

"I know, I know. But I really feel like he's changing. You know, he's not "that guy" anymore." Riley explained

"Oh oh oh, Ben! Ben, you gotta come look at this. Somebody posted you on "He said he'd call" dot com?" Tucker said as he shows the website to Ben

"That's the website where women post the names of jerks who say they'll call, but don't. Ben." Riley said

"There is no reason I should be on that website."

"Susie Kettle." Mia read out loud

"Oh, maybe." Ben remembers

"Wait, Susie Kettle? Bridesmaid Susie Kettle?"

"Yeah, most likely that Susie Kettle. But nothing happened. I was just all, "Hey, Sus, nice catching up. Maybe I'll call you sometime."" Ben explains

"Yeah, was that before or after you were making out with her on the dance floor?" Tucker said

"Possibly after."

"You made out with Susie at the wedding?"

"Just a little--."

"Girl, we had to get the hose." Tucker said

"But you said you'd call her?"

"Well, yeah."

"And did you?"

"Well, no."

"Oh my God, Ben. What is wrong with you? I truly don't know. You are that guy. That guy that every girl is warned about but every woman thinks that she can change. And I swear, I've known you my whole life but I have no idea who you are. I mean, who raised you?" Riley said
