“Another thing you and I have in common. AC/DC.”
“I noticed,” she says, beaming at me. “How is everything?”
I flop onto her bed, my head landing in her lap.
She plays with my hair sweetly and then runs her nails lightly up and down my cheek.
And then I tell her all about my relationship with my mother as well as all that just happened. I even tell her about holding the fuckin’ DNA tests for a year like a masochistic idiot.
She looks on the verge of tears at that news and I see it’s because she’s feeling for me.
She leans down and gives me a soft, sweet kiss on the lips. “Maybe she’s ready to repair your relationship. You’re right to be cautious, though.”
“I think I need to go see my father,” I say. “I’m gonna go do that. Want me to bring back dinner? Indian? Chinese?”
She nods. “Chinese sounds good.”
“You have preferences or…”
“Surprise me,” she says. “Nothing spicy.”
“You got it, peaches.” I kiss her. She wraps her arms around me and she feels really fucking good.
“Back soon,” I say.

CARLY
It’s early evening and Aiden went out, so I’ve texted Ally.
“I’m home! Come visit! Fort Knox can be breached right now and sister… there is LOTS of information flowing!”
I head to the kitchen and take the two cupcakes out of the otherwise empty freezer to thaw for later, thinking I need to grocery shop. I have visions of cooking in here with Aiden in his grey sweatpants.
Dreamy.
“Coming now! Open that fucking door so I don’t have to waste time with knocking.”
I’m giggling. I’d already texted her from the hospital to tell her about my drama and that my Dad was stable. I hadn’t messaged her back since then.
She’s in the apartment two minutes later, out of breath, wearing a pink and black polka dot dress. But her just below collar-length hair is now jet black and all sexy-flippy with one pink streak down the left side. She looks stunning.
“Oh my God!” I stare at her. “You are fucking gorgeous.”
She does a curtsy and then waves her hands. “Forget me. What happened? Did you deck the ex-bestie? Did you see the ex-boyfriend and kick him in the nuts?”
“Better.”
“Better?” She looks at me for a second, eyes travelling up and down my body. Her eyes bug out. “You got laid.”
I smile.
“You fucked Aiden!”
I smile bigger and drop a $100 bill on the counter. I made a stop at the ATM on the way home and Aiden asked about it. I told him I owed Ally $100. And then I whispered. “I lost a bet.”
“Oh yeah? What did you…” he stopped mid-sentence because it was all over my face and then he barked out a laugh.
