“I’m not convinced that was worth my first blow job…” I muttered to myself.
Roman snorted. “Well if it makes you feel any better, love, no one was going to think it was your first time.”
I stared at him open mouthed. “I’m not sure that’s a compliment, Lombardi.”
“No, me either.”
We looked at each other for a second, then both burst into laughter.
I let my heart flutter happily as I looked at him. I’d long stopped reminding myself we were just friends. Because, that was all we were. And quite honestly, I didn’t need to put a label on what we were because whatever it was, it was perfect the way it was.
Roman had snuck me out of his house and into mine at around four in the morning, which hadn’t given me a lot of sleep before I was supposed to meet Hadley and Celeste atLacey’sat eleven and look somewhat respectable.
Hadley had a whole day of shopping planned – because we had so many options! – and Celeste and I were always told that required plenty of prior caffeinating. Plus, the boys had their out of school sports on Sunday mornings and we usually quite enjoyed having a bit of a perve as they went by.
But that Sunday, I was just sleep deprived and not interested in perving on the boys as I dropped into the seat at our usual Sunday morning seat outsideLacey’s.
“There she is. On time, as usual,” Hadley scoffed with a smile.
“Yeah, hi,” I breathed.
“So, how was yourboringnight in?” Hadley asked, giving me a very unimpressed glare.
I nodded. “Fine. Found a new John movie–”
“I can’t ‘til next weekend.” Hadley got her phone out and started scrolling through it.
I blinked for a moment, then realised she meant the same thing she always did and it was just me who wasn’t up with anything just then. “Right! No. I don’t think you’d like it.”
Hadley’s hand dropped to the table and her phone with it. “What?”
“You mean we don’t have to watch this one?” Celeste asked in mock-awe.
I looked at them both. “Firstly, no. It was…weird. Secondly, does it actually feel like Imakeyou watch his movies?”
Celeste shrugged. “No more than Hads makes us go shopping. You know, it’s something we do together.”
I nodded. “Okay, great. Sure.”
I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not, given I wasn’t enamoured by Hadley dragging me around the shops. Although, I did like spending time with my girls.
“Besides, it’s not like we weren’t at home either,” Celeste added, throwing me a smile.
“Yes, butmynight wasn’t boring,” Hadley said.
“Uh huh. Remind the class what you did again?” I asked.
Hadley shifted in her seat. “I at least watched a movie from this century.”
I spluttered a laugh as I looked at the menu. “Some of John’s movies are from this century! And I watch other movies, too.”
“Sure, you do,” Hadley said disbelievingly. “Remind us again, what was the last movie you watched without your perfect John?”
“Drive Me Crazy.”
“Not a Rom-Com.”
I thought back. “The Lodgers.”
