“You think? You go through women more often than anyone I know.”
I thought of Camilla and how no other woman interested me these days. Even now, I couldn’t find anyone that I wanted to spend my time with. Just striking up a conversation with someone new was annoying.
“But how about you? Which one do you like?”
I turned to look at him and froze. “What do you mean?”
He pointed with his index finger around us, holding his glass in that same hand. “The women. There has to be someone that caught your interest.”
“Not really.”
His eyes widened. “Not really? Why?”
“Somehow, all the girls here are the same. It’s not good enough for me right now.”
“Are you shitting me now? Not good enough?” He leaned toward me, narrowing his eyes. “Don’t tell me. You’re gay. I mean that audience is full of big donors, man.”
I smacked his shoulder. “Are you nuts? Only you can come up with this stuff.” I scratched my chin. “Actually, there is someone.”
“Yeah? Who?”
I couldn’t tell him her name. I could hide her a bit, with giving some truth to it. “I met her in a bar, and now she’s working for a senior congressman.”
“So she’s into politics too?”
“Pretty much.”
I didn’t like how he looked at me. He was studying me. Like he knew. Shit, had Camilla told him about her new job?
“What?”
“Was she a good lay?”
My lips stretched into a huge smile. “Yeah.”
“So are you two a thing now?”
“No, of course not,” I said defensively. A little bit too defensively.
“So you’ve banged her and that was it? Au revoir? Arrivederci?”
My response came several seconds later. “Something like that.” I didn’t know why I couldn’t just tell him that I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Maybe because it was all new for me, and I had no idea what to say. Or maybe because I was worried he would figure me out.
“I see.” He put his glass on the table. “I’m catching on to something.”
“What?” Shit. This wasn’t going to be good.
“I think this thing between this chick and you is more serious than you’re saying.”
“No, it’s not.”
“Yeah, right. And I’m Batman.”
“It’s not, really.” He didn’t believe me at all. I exhaled a long sigh, running my hand through my hair. “Fine. Actually, it’s complicated. At first, she wasn’t interested in me. She rejected me, can you imagine that?”
He burst into laughter. “No way. Wait is this the girl from the other night?”
“Yep.”
