“You’re starting to like her, just admit it. That’s why you hook up less.” Rhett says one night over burgers.
“No, not like that. I’ll admit she doesn’t piss me off anymore. We’re simply friends now.”
“Okay, so the urge to blow your load is gone? Or are you just satisfying yourself now?”
“It’s not gone, just less strong.”
“Because you’re starting to like Everleigh.”
I throw a french fry at his head. “Shut up.”
“Don’t be afraid of the truth.” Rhett laughs and throws my fry back at me.
Fuck that. Rhett doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I don’t like her. What is this middle school?
And honestly, everyone’s needs for sex changes from time to time. I’m simply busy and that’s all there is to it.
Besides, I’ve got the best of both worlds right now. A pretty, respectable girl on my arm, and a nameless one in my bed.
What more could I want?
Chapter 13
Everleigh
“So this date you're bringing to the wedding, are you two a couple?” Mom asks over the phone the week before the holiday break begins. I’m knee deep in books, trying to study for multiple finals, including a big one on everything I learned in clinicals and she’s bugging me about the date I’m bringing.
Shouldn’t just having a date be enough to get her off my back? Apparently not.
“No, mom.”
“Oh, so a friend then?”
“I mean, I guess you could say that.”
“I’m just wondering how both Bella and you managed to score a date with someone you’re not dating.”
“Lots of people do the same thing. What’s the big deal?”
She sighs. “I just don’t understand why neither one of you has a boyfriend yet.”
“Why? We can’t be focused on ourselves?”
“Of course you can, Ev, it’s just that your father and I want you happy and settled down with someone.”
“Sometimes things take longer than you expect. I’m not in a rush to find someone. I’m striving for what I want before I lose track because of love.”
“You can be in love and still pursue your dreams. What don’t you and your sister get?” She drones on and on and it takes all my willpower not to hang up. I can’t get a word in as she rambles on and on.
“Mom, listen, I need to go.”
But she doesn’t stop. “I just don’t understand why you have no boyfriend, it makes no sense to me. I send you amazing dating profiles all the time, how could you not find any you like?”
“I don’t know, okay? I need to go.”
“Don’t you get that tone with me young lady. If you’re not dating someone by the time you arrive home for Christmas in two weeks, then I’m arranging a date with your father’s coworker’s son over the break.”
“Are you kidding me?” Ew, the last guy I want to go on a date with is that stuck up not cute dude she keeps trying to match me up with.
