“Really? A week?”
“The way you’re acting, maybe two. Would you like a moment alone with it?”
“You’re so funny,” she said as I opened the door for her, then tossed my wallet on the entry table.
“Hey, you’re the one acting like a?—”
“Do I smell pizza?” Travis popped up from the couch. Then he looked over at where Serena clutched the box close to her body, like one would guard a baby.
“Don’t even think about it,” she warned as he eyed her prize, and had any other guy looked at her chest that intently, I might have jumped to her defense. But Travis was interested in only one thing, and that was the piping-hot pizza that had just been delivered—free of charge—to his door.
“What? You can’t even spare one piece? You’re tiny.”
“I’m also hangry,” she growled as she marched into the kitchen. “So back off.”
Travis looked over at me. “That time of the month?”
“I heard that!” Serena called out as I started to laugh and walked over to join Travis.
“No. We had dinner with my parents at?—”
“Fin, and the food was basically raw and nonexistent.” Serena came back out of the kitchen with a couple cans of soda, then flipped open the lid of the pizza.“So this”—she waved at one side of the box—“is mine. And you two can fight over the rest.”
Travis held up his hands. “Uh, I think I’m just gonna get something when I head out in a few. I kinda like my balls where they are.”
“Preston will share with you,” she said around a mouthful, and I nodded.
“Seriously. If you want a piece, go for it.”
“Nah. Sounds like you two need it more than me.”
“Yeah, it was an interesting night for sure.” I reached for a slice and leaned back into the couch.
“Your dad bugging you about D.C. again?”
“D.C., marriage?—”
“Babies…” Serena smiled sweetly, then sat up straight and posed beside me like a proper little wife might in a portrait. “Don’t you think we’d make the perfect couple?”
Travis snorted, looking between the two of us. “Maybe. If he didn’t like dick as much as you do. Which I’m still trying to wrap my head around.”
Serena laughed. “Thank God someone else finally knows.”
I shook my head and took a big bite of my slice. Since I’d gotten busted by Travis with Mr. Carrington, I’d had to come clean to him about my secrets, and he was now the only person who kneweverything. I hadn’t breathed a word of that night to Serena, and neither had Travis. She’d easily bought the lie that since he was my roommate, it made sense to tell him the truth, to make it easier on the two of us.
Was I proud of myself for keeping the truth from her? No. Was I about to tell her I kissed her father and wanted to do it again?Hellno.
So what it came down to was there were two people in the world who knew my preferences, and both of them were in this room. It was the only time I could fully relax, but it wasn’t often that one of the other guys wasn’t around.
Would any of them care? Not in a million years. I got more shit from them for being the “straight” one of our group, but the more people who bought into my lie, the better. It wasn’t just my life and future I had to think about, but Serena’s.
Travis disappeared into his room for a couple of minutes while we sat there shoveling food into our mouths, and when he came back out in a different outfit, I whistled.
An impish grin crooked his lips. He knew he was hot shit, but Travis never turned down an opportunity to strut as we threw out compliments.
“So hot,” Serena said, as we took in the tight black and gold snakeskin pants with an open long-sleeved shirt. “Turn around.”
He made a show of rolling his eyes, but Travis had a spectacular ass and he knew it, which was why he obliged and made a full turn for our benefit.
