He ignores me. "Months it's been."
I nod. I can do that. Only I don't have enough fingers. I've only been with two guys, two ex-boyfriends. And my last relationship ended a year ago.
Tension builds between my shoulder blades. He's going to get the wrong idea. To think I'm a prude or a loser.
"It's been a while," I say.
"Six months."
"More."
"A year?"
I shake my head. "Not since Jake."
"That asshole was the last person you fucked?"
I clear my throat. "And who was the last person you fucked?"
"A girl at a show."
I raise my eyebrow. "A groupie?"
"Not exactly."
"I thought you didn't sleep around on tour."
"I don't." He runs his hand through his hair. "It was a rough week. I needed something to take the edge off."
Something inside me flares. I snap without meaning to. "And so you fucked someone? Isn't that why man invented alcohol?"
"That would be much healthier."
"But..."
"We were keeping a dry tour. Because of Miles."
"No, I just mean..." I play with my hands. "That's not very fair to her."
His lips turn down. "We both got what we wanted out of it."
"So you were just staring out into space willing this poor girl's body to act as a distraction."
Drew raises his voice. "No. I was there. In that moment. Making sure she came."
That's so much worse. I can't chase away the image of Drew grabbing some other girl, throwing her on the table, and fucking her until she screamed the way Meg was screaming with Miles.
"Are you okay?" His voice is still serious.
"Just hungry." I look away so he won't see the expression forming on my face. Drew is my friend. I shouldn't care when he last had sex. It shouldn't hurt picturing him making sure some girl came.
He lifts my chin so we're eye to eye. He stares at me, through me, like he's absolutely not buying my story. "Was your ex-asshole at least a good lay?"
"Not exactly."
He stares at me like he's demanding an answer. "That why you ended things?"
"No, he broke up with me." I pull my purse into my chest. "We've talked about this before." Not in detail. We're never going to discuss it in detail.
