Send me the rest of the messages first.
Katie
You want to see his dick?
Tristan
I want to see if mine is better.
The text flies from my fingers before I can second-guess it. I guess that’s a decent first step.
Katie
Oh
Are we doing it now, then?
Tristan
If you want to.
The words seem to grow in front of my eyes.If you want to.I lock eyes with myself in the mirror.This isn’t practice, you idiot.My reflection seems to glare at me.You just want her any way you can have her.
Katie
What’s your favorite thing about it?
All the breath leaves my body.
Nour knocks on the door. “Tristan? Everything okay?”
“All good,” I croak.
What the fuck?I shove a hand through my hair.What the fuck what the fuck?Am I hard? I glance down to confirm. Yeah, halfway. I can’t go out there like this. But I don’t want Katie to think I’m ignoring her. She’ll be crushed.
Tristan
Well, women seem to like it.
Katie
All men think that.
My mouth lifts against my will.
Tristan
Nah, I know it.
Katie
Rave reviews?
Tristan
Been a while. But last time, yeah.
My pulse is pounding in my throat. My hands shake. Ihave to leave this bathroom, but I want to sink down against the wall and spend the rest of this date talking to Katie. I imagine how pink her cheeks must be. I imagine the way her tongue dips over her lips when she’s concentrating.
