“You just can’t barge into my apartment whenever you want.”
“I called and texted you an obscene number of times. I thought you were dead.”
“Well, I’m not so can you leave now.”
“No, let me in.” Anika pushed the door open, brushing past Danessa. “Why do you look like that?”
“Like what?”
“Disheveled and your eyes are all shifty.”
“I was working?”
“At nine o’clock at night?”
“Yeah.”
“Hmm, God you’re so weird. Sometimes I can’t believe we’re related. I just need to borrow your burgundy dress, the one that makes me look snatched.”
“You were going to break in and steal my dress?”
“Borrow.” I could hear the voices getting closer. By the time Anika entered the living room, I was sitting upright with a pillow on my lap. “Well, what do we have here?”
“I told you work.”
Anika looked from Danessa to me and back again. “Have you two been fucking?”
“Eww, Anika be so fucking for real right now. How gross, absolutely not.”
Damn, she was putting a whole lot into that denial. Gross, me? “Hey Anika.”
“Aldi.” Anika examined the room for evidence. “Dinner for two, ambient lighting, candles. This is a sexual crime scene if I ever seen one.”
“Get the fucking dress and go.”
“You seem uptight, so I’m guessing the penis has not broken the seal yet.”
“Go get the dress,” Danessa said through gritted teeth.
“Okay chill out.” Anika disappeared into the bedroom.
Danessa turned to me. I thought she was going to apologize, instead she said, “You need to leave.”
I jumped up from the couch letting the pillow fall to the floor. “What?”
“Can you do something with that?” She pointed to my dick which was still sporting a very prominent chubby.
“Why do I have to leave?” I whispered.
“Because I need to talk to my sister before she tells everyone she knows that we’re getting the band back together.”
“Will you at least call me later?” God we hadn’t even fucked and I was pussy whipped.
“No.” The woman who just moments ago had lust in her eyes and was ready to make my dick disappear was gone.
“I’m leaving town tomorrow for work.” Danessa was wrangling me toward the front door. “I won’t be back for a week.” She opened the door and pushed me out. “Danessa?”
“Sorry, have a safe trip.” She offered a cringe-filled smile before shutting the door in my face.
