Nothing
Eden
It’s almost three in the morning, Alana… I don’t believe you just hit me up for nothing.
I couldn’t sleep because I was too busy waiting for Reece to call me back. Also, my head refused to stop thinking about Alana.
It was a curse.
She must’ve put something witchy into one of her pastries the other day, because there was no other logical explanation as to why she was occupying my every thought these days.
Ally-Bear
You’re right
Did you go find someone else?
Find someone else?
She didn’t seriously think I was that awful, did she?
Eden
What for?
Ally-Bear
Did you have sex with someone tonight?
I squinted at the screen, unsure of what to think as I stared at her message.
A nauseating feeling crept up on me the longer I kept rereading her text, and my heart started to race. Part of me wanted to believe she was joking, that she didn’t actually think I went out and found someone to fuck after she ran off. Another part of me was sure she really thought I did.
I took a deep breath, trying to think rationally about how to respond. It wasn’t anything like Alana to be so blunt, especially about a topic she was pretty uncomfortable with.
We never said we couldn’t sleep with other people while we were helping each other out with our deal. Sure, I assumedAlana wouldn’t find someone to fuck because that just wasn’t like her… but I wasn’t interested in a fling with anyone either.
Whether Alana agreed or not, we were technically in a relationship. And I couldn’t stand cheaters. I certainly wasn’t going to turn into one.
Eden
What kind of question is that?
Ally-Bear
Sheer curiosity. So, did you get laid or not?
For just a moment I wanted to lie, wanted to tell her I was still in bed with someone as we spoke… but I couldn’t. It wasn’t like me to lie like that, especially to Alana.
Eden
No, I didn’t. I spent the past hours thinking about how stupid I am for thinking you’d ever understand how attracted I am to you.
Ally-Bear
Do you mean that? Like… really mean it?
