Lisa laughed and pointed her thumb over her shoulder. “That used to be me before this one came along.”
Abigail put her hand on her chest as if she was offended, but the smile on her face told me she wasn’t. “Excuse me. I resent that. I’m super fun.”
“Sure you are, babe.” Lisa grabbed Abigail’s hand and dragged her out of the house, whispering something about how Abigail could prove how fun she was once they got home.
I sighed as I watched them giggle together. I didn’t think about sex much since most of the time I was too busy to think about that. When my mind did have the chance to wander, it always went to Willow. My thoughts were always more focused on the innocence of being wrapped up in her arms, but now that my mind was going to sex, it reminded me how much I missed it. It was enough to almost make me consider finding a hookup. That wasn’t what I wanted though. If I was going to have sex with someone other than Willow, I wanted it to be someone I really cared about. The problem was if I cared about someone enough to have sex with them, I would most likely feel like I was betraying Willow by having sex with them. Maybe my toys and my hand would be my only partners for the rest of my life. I guess it could be worse. Right now, I couldn’t really think how it could be worse, but I was sure it could be.
“What are you thinking about?” Tori whispered in my ear, shocking me back into the current moment.
“Nothing,” I lied.
“Mmhmm, sure. You can tell me later.”
I hoped by the time “later” came, Tori would forget all about it, but as soon as we walked into our house, she jumped right back into it. “So, now that it’s just the two of us, tell me what you were thinking about back at the house.”
I shook my head. “It was seriously nothing. At least nothing important, and I truly mean it this time.”
“Sure you do.” Tori walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. “You know I’m not going to let it drop.”
She stared me down as she took a sip of her water. After a few seconds, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Okay, fine I was thinking about sex!”
I happened to speak at the same time Tori was taking another sip of her water and she immediately spit it out of her mouth. She laughed as she wiped her face with the back of her arm. “Okay. Definitely not what I was expecting.”
“Yeah. Kind of strange, I know.”
Tori shook her head. “Not at all. I think about sex all the time.”
“And when was the last time you had sex?”
“Pretty long. Probably about two months ago.”
“Oh yeah.” I scoffed. “So long.”
Tori furrowed her eyebrows. “Have you… you know… since Willow…? We’ve talked about so much, but we’ve surprisingly never talked about that.”
I shrugged. “That’s because there’s nothing to talk about. There hasn’t been anyone since Willow. My last time was December 26, 2019.” It was probably technically December 27, but that night flowed into the next morning so much that I had no idea when one became the other.
“At least you two weren’t in a dry spell.”
Of course not. We wouldn’t have been in a dry spell because we knew what was coming. The words I couldn’t say. “Yeah. Definitely.”
“Sorry, you probably don’t want to talk about this right now. Let’s do something fun. It is still your birthday.”
“What did you have in mind?”
Tori tapped on her chin, then suddenly stopped as her eyes became wide. “I know something that’s much better than sex. Come with me.”
I followed her up to her bedroom and waited as she looked under the bed. A few seconds later, she pulled out a tattered box. “Want to play?” she asked as she held the original Nintendo entertainment system out to me.
I shook my head and started to laugh. “You never cease to surprise me.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“We’ve known each other for how many years? 14? 15? In all that time, you’ve never struck me as a girl that would be into the original Nintendo.”
“No. You’re right about that.” Tori’s face turned the slightest bit red. “But you strike me as the type of girl who would be into it.” She handed the box to me. “Happy birthday.”
“This is for me?” I ran my hand over the box as if it were pure gold, and to me, it might as well have been. I’d wanted one of these for as long as I could remember, but it was hard to find an authentic original that was still in working condition. “But how did you know?”
